Seriously? The writer here seems to think that the employees of a franchise should put up a fight for a store that's insured. Had it been some mom and pop shop that you'd probably have a gun in then yes sure that's YOUR business that's not covered by a corperation. Why risk your life for games? First the company is insured against theft, secondly the company is insured for theft. Some 19 year olds getting paid less than well should put up a fight against a potential gun wielding psycho?
Sorry I'm gonna give up the games, it's freaking Gamestop they're covered.

I don't know for sure how things are run at Gamestop, but when I was working at the supermarket, it was company policy to comply without question when being robbed. Yeah, there's a chance the guy's bluffing like this guy was, but when it comes down to it, the company can afford to cover the loss of merchandise more than they can afford to cover the death of an employee.
The clerks did the right thing. They look like wimps and suckers, but they did the right thing.

*claps* Balls man, major balls. He deserves all that stuff, if only because of the clerks were so stupid.
I think you read it wrong. The thief was unarmed, he said he was threatened by a man with a gun outside the store, he didn't threaten the clerks himself. He simply bluffed his way through the whole spiel and got away with it.Snotnarok said:
Well with 7 MILLION copies sold it doesn't suprise me that we would have bastards getting the games and selling them to turn a profit, by selling cheap illgotten copies, or using supply and demand like the little mathmatical fucks that they are.
My local ebgames isn't so bad, Forza 3 in Australia sells for 100 there, I traded it in there for $70, you gotta admit, thats pretty damn good especially since game (which is usuallyu trading in new releases for 65) would trade it in for 45.Lusulpher said:
Or its because the guy there was a stoner and sold ma 15 plus to all those who lie about their age and have hit puberty. But hes gone now and so did so many other good employees, now the store went down the crapper.
If somebody came into the shop I was working for and said they had a friend waiting outside who will shoot me if I didn't let him rip some things off, I'd cooperate. What do you expect - that I'd tell him, "no, you better bring your gun toting friend in here to kill us, or I'm not going to believe you"? Not likely. GameStop undoubtedly wouldn't be paying me enough to put my life on the line to save their merchandise.
He never threatened with a gun or anything, if he would've yes then I most probably would just hand over the games. He just made up a story, an incredibly unbelievable story. I wouldn've believed him, that's for sure.Snotnarok said:
I understand what you're saying, but think, you're sitting in gamestop and the guy says what he said, it makes some sense because if he pulls out a gun, everyone runs and he has people running away, possibly telling police he's there. It's the chance that he has it that makes me say that, I'm not gonna risk my life for a retail store. Of course if it's some twig of a kid I'm probably going to think twice.Assassinator said:
