Re: GameStop To Stay Open During COVID-19 Outbreak Because It Is 'Essential Retail'

Don't think for a second the grocery store employees want to be there. Many of us still have families to protect, and while financial security is a nice peace of mind, Many of the staff that I work with would rather be safe at home with our family. While we're not required to come to work, if we have any integrity we're likely to go in and do our duty because that's the job we signed up for, and we have co-workers (our other family) who depend on us. it's a rock and a hard place and our reward is exposure vectors beyond our imagination, and stress we shouldn't have to deal with in a grocery environment.

what about the flip side of the coin. The grocery store employees who are being exposed but need to come in to continue to pay bills? They don't have a choice but to go in and be exposed by all the people who don't believe that this is a problem that effects them. These staff are being exposed by these people who are coming in to these grocery stores (some of whom are still shopping daily) for a "community experience" because it's the among the few places open.

@stevep A huge difference with the switch is that it is a "wireless" system. At least typically when changing game carts out most people will have to hold the system in their hands, rather than docked. Because the system is a closed circuit (enclosed battery) it doesn't need to be grounded in an outlet,This makes it much more difficult to create a static shock.
