First of all, I want to thank Gamestop for the many years of offers and offers I have received over the many years as a pro customer/member.**** YOU. It has taken enough time and I have had enough. I am so irritated by the many items that employees take with them and give customers no chance. I recently spoke with an employee named Ashley and was told that the store was missing over $200 in inventory because the staff takes money and keeps it for themselves.
To each his own. I`m tired of your employees who think it`s okay to take items that people like me have pre-ordered**** and then they take it for themselves and to make things worse, they don`t even offer a discount for the inconvenience or my money****. So here`s what I`m going to do! I will walk into the establishment and get the name of the employee who literally stole my goods and the store, and I will file a complaint. This god must stop. This is the 3rd time this god has happened to me and I`m tired of it, I was treating him this blood. And by the way, I`m going to contact my lawyer about it. TRUST ME!!!

The policy itself was made to ensure that each employee allows a certain percentage of their revenue for pre-orders, reward cards, used games, or exchanging a customer with a game. [66] Following the disclosure of the policy, many current and former GameStop employees revealed stories about how the policy led them to lie to customers.

In Australia, COVID-19 lockdowns have been administered by the National Cabinet of the Australian Federal Government, largely allowing retail stores to remain open with capacity constraints. [126] This means that, unlike other branches of the GameStop business, Australian arms stores have remained open for most of the pandemic.
The national cabinet ordered only a few brief and targeted closures at the regional level of entire stores, with stores in the Australian state of Victoria being the hardest hit. For fiscal 2020, the Australian branch reported net sales of $625.3 million and operating income of $52.2 million. This is a $42.8 million increase in operating income compared to fiscal 2019 prior to the pandemic, when the company reported net sales of $525.4 million and operating income of $9.4 million.

March 2020 and offer roadside pickup. [120] [119] An employee of a GameStop store in Athens, Georgia (which closed on March 20 by police order to comply with a similar order in Athens-Clark County) disputed the argument, arguing that high-end peripherals (such as keyboards and mice) sold at GameStop were not necessarily essential for remote labor and that cheaper alternatives in stores, which are allowed to remain open, are readily available. like Walmart.
