GameStop clerks should tell police the store can remain open as it's 'essential retail,' company says

Video game retailer GameStop is reportedly urging store employees to keep stores open in defiance of any orders to close in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

"Due to the products we carry that enable and enhance our customers' experience in working from home, we believe GameStop is classified as essential retail and therefore is able to remain open during this time," the memo reportedly reads. "We have received reports of local authorities visiting stores in an attempt to enforce closure despite our classification," the memo continues."Store Managers are approved to provide the document linked below to law enforcement as needed."

This is ridiculous—the national guard needs to enforce a shut down for businesses like this!! Keeping these places open is encouraging ppl to venture out and spread the virus—no to mention blatantly putting the employees at risk!! Covid_19 CoronaVirusUpdate

Unfortunately, odds are they are fighting so hard to keep stores open because it likely means bankruptcy if they don't.
