GameStop will close all its stores to customers tomorrow, switching to a "door-to-door" service with open spaces, said the company's chief executive George Sherman in a letter to employees today obtained Kotaku.
Buyers will be able to order games online, through the GameStop app, or through QR codes in stores. They can then opt for these curbside games in stores that remain open through the coronavirus epidemic. Other states, such as California and Nevada, have forced the distributor to shut down its locations altogether, despite GameStop protests.
Sherman also said in the letter that GameStop would provide 80 hours of overtime paid to those employees when it was closed or closed shops qualifications, and two additional weeks of payment to those who qualify.
A senior official stressed that any employees who would not feel comfortable going to the shops worked for service delivery they should inform their superiors accordingly. "We respect that everyone has their own preferences and interests, so your decision will not affect your position with this company," wrote Sherman.
The news comes after a week filled with confusing things for the retailer, who has been struggling financially for the last three years as customers moved into digital stores.
When America solidified its response to the epidemic, GameStop was slow to respond. First, employees complained that GameStop wasn't close enough for cleaning and cleaning supplies, and as provinces began closing down businesses in the hope of reducing the spread of the virus, the retailer told staff not to remain public despite saying "significant sales. ”
