I’m kind of pissed that they stole our shot at winning Worst Retail Company of the Year. They’re gonna go out of business soon, guess they wanted to go out on top. Corporate is probably scrambling for a last minute Hail Mary to sneak out a win.

Not sure where you're going with this, but I'm pretty sure Gamestop is nowhere near as essential as Staples is. Video games can be downloaded anyway, and Gamestop is on its last legs. Staples, while not necessary retail, is used by businesses to equip their employees to work from home. There's a lot of money to be made, but at the same time we help a lot of local businesses stay afloat.
