To help prevent the distribution of COVID-19 in the United States, stores nationwide are deemed insignificant to close stores temporarily. According to IGN, a video game marketer with a rating problem has decided not to comply with these regulations.
Mature internal memos, sent from GameStop Corporate, notify stores to remain open during the epidemic:
Due to the products we manage that empower and enhance our customers' experience of working from home, we believe GameStop is classified as an important store and therefore able to remain open at this time.
These important products include webcams, microphones, computer mouse, keyboards, monitors, chargers and audio equipment. Games and console devices are not listed.
The same invitation instructs employees to do when local authorities try to close the store:
We have received reports of local authorities visiting the shops in an effort to force closure despite our category being included. Store managers are allowed to provide the document linked below with law enforcement as needed
This text informs anyone who has a problem with GameStop that is already open to contact with its head.
Many anonymous GameStop employees shared stories about their experiences. One said the company had "no time to pay" and another said that their store was not provided with the cleaning supplies needed to combat the overdose.
Go ahead On Twitter, GameStop said it was "working hard at this unprecedented time to provide customers & people with whom they meet in the safest place" and would reduce trading hours, cancel events and stop traders.
