Why shop at Gamestop or EBgames when you can go to eBay or, any other other user-based exchange, and buy or sell games for sensible prices?

Get the Gamestop Rich mug.A place where they will force you to be open on Easter Sunday, even though the nine other stores in your strip and the 12 across from you are closed...two weeks after your store was held up by three masked me with shotguns in broad daylight. A place where they will have someone come in your store to move your safe from the locked back room up to the front counter DURING BUSINESS HOURS for the world to see. A place where "Loss Prevention" will come in your store and tell you that you have to let customers use the bathrooms. A place where "Loss Prevention" will tell you that you must take the deposit to the bank every day RIGHT BEFORE YOU OPEN, same time, without deviation, for the entire world to see, instead of allowing you to take it during the day at different times, which would be safer and a lot more inconspicuous. A place run by corporate monkeys who have no clue what goes on at the store level. A place that really doesn't care if you live or die working there, that gets continually robbed from the inside and out.

We've had 4 break-ins since we opened this Gamestop
We have cameras at Gamestop, but nobody ever gets caught
I can't believe they still work at Gamestop
