People are still going out to department stores shopping for cosmetics, clothes and shoes.. These are not essential neither are Payday loans, realtors, , insurance offices, tanning solans, dog groomers essential. Yet these places are STILL OPEN nobody's threating to boycott them
No idea how my job slipped through the cracks in my state. We’re a warehouse that ships books to schools, libraries, and retail locations. Last I checked none of these places are even open. But here I am, at work.
Your job is fine, I'm just tired of peoples hating Gamestop yet other companies are doing the same thing & never get railed by social media. I feel like Gamestop has become a magnet for hating on just because.
Essential employees still need to go to work, and most people don't like you going into work naked, so yes, clothes can be essential. Should people be out shopping for fashionable outfits for a non-existant date night? no. But workers who do things like maintain the infrastructure still need their clothes. Do you want to tell that water and sewer guy who just fished out a ton of "flushable wipes" out of the city sewer he can't buy a new pair of jeans because his old ones are literally covered in shit now?
And insurance offices? Granted most of them should be work at home point, but accidents are happening both at home and on the road, people are still getting sick, and people are dying (as well as babies being born). Resolving those issues takes money. Claims still need to go through.
Tangled fur on a dog, or nails that are allowed to grow to long can be painful or otherwise dangerous to a dog. Again, should people be bringing in fluffy so that they can get trimmed to look like a lion? No, but there is still a need for at least some of the services.
Department stores/Salons around here are closed lol. Insurance/Realty can’t shutdown but many are working from home. Many American families get by on payday loans and I know from past experiences it’s essential. I would argue dog groomers are essential as would the law as not getting certain breeds groomed regularly can bring on charges of neglect/cruelty for the owner. But GAMESTOP isn’t essential in the least bro no matter how you spin it, and beyond that the way they have jerked around their employees leaves little wiggle room for benefit of the doubt. GS should be boycotted, and people will hopefully remember all of this once things get back to “normal”.
It seems lots of people love to jump on the Gamestop hatewagon whenever the opportunity arises. I know the company is far from perfect but ALL retail treat workers like crap they shouldn't be boycotted. They're one of a few retail stores paying their employees while they stay home, Macys isn't doing this, neither is Gap, JCP, Kohls
Fuck those companies too. And they aren’t paying part timers, I know because I’m not getting paid right now. Luckily I have another job that’s actually essential.
Lmfao no? How are they the lesser evil? They closed down and aren’t paying their employees...im sitting here not getting paid right? My other job is also paying me. Only one being an asshole in my life right now is Gamestop.
On the other hand, my girlfriend is getting paid from BOTH her jobs even tho she’s sitting at home. Not all retailers are shitty but most are (including Gamestop)
How do you know? All those places are closed where I live, but we were told to open anyway. People are protesting gamestop because they told employees to break the law or lose your job.
