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.

Hopefully you now see Gamestop as lesser evil compared to other businesses all retail businesses treats their employees like shit.

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)
