#2GameStop is going out of business. This is a last ditch attempt to fend that off. And I would hope that any cop in an area with lockdowns in place would simply say, "Nice piece of paper. You're closing."

That is exactly what will happen. If the county or state order businesses closed as non essential, remaining open would be a misdemeanor. I have to wonder if Gamestop will pay the legal fees for the employees that are arrested.

I imagine corporate have to pay legal fees would accelerate their shuttering permanently.

I have no love for GameStop, but I really liked Thinkgeek, which got bought by GameStop. GameStop already ruined it AFAICT so I don't mind if GameStop goes out of business...

#9This is reprehensible. Under no reasonable definition are they essential retail, and they are putting human lives in danger.
