I guess GameStop doesn’t count as a group gathering since they have no customers.

If you needed a reason to stop going to GameStop, here it is.

The governor in our state said enforcement of the shutdown starts Saturday. They sent out an updated list of what is and is not allowed to stay open. Corporate can argue that they're essential until they're blue in the face but they clearly don't meet PA's requirements.

You realize that closure orders differ from city to city and state to state, right?

That memo from corporate? Yup, sent from someone quarantined at home getting paid.

They should look into that agreement. Many companies that force arbitration also have a clause that the company will pay for the arbitration. If employees can get enough people to file for arbitration at once over this, the costs to the company would be far greater than a class action suit. This recently happened with…

I have defended GameStop for a lot of things but this is just indefensible. However given the unfortunate state of GameStop prior to the viral outbreak I wonder if they consider shutting doors to be a death sentence.

Some government official is going to bitch slap them hard and force them to close.

This is just disgusting. On the surface level it’s easy to just laugh as soon as you get to the part where Gamestop has the hubris to call themselves “essential retail” when talking about fucking videogames, but this is much more malicious than that. This is a deliberate attempt to capitalize on the social distancing…

Venus that employee getting laid off because the store closed.

That BO smell in EVERY GameStop would kill the Coronavirus in seconds.  

Gamestop is Essential Retail

Here’s a piece of paper I made that says we’re essential retail, so it must be true.

Yeah, shelter in place is not working. First Tesla, now this. Essential is food, healthcare, products that support the first two, and national defense. Common sense seems to be not so common.

Will GameStop throw the employees’ bail after they’re arrested for non-compliance, or do the employees have to do it themselves and then expense it?

Glad I’m sticking with digital PC downloads!
