GameStop says No to “good grades only” policy


No good deed goes unpunished.


No good deed goes unpunished. At least if you’re GameStop.

GameStop manager Brandon Scott, of a Dallas, Texas GameStop, has been suspended for his “unconventional policy” of only selling video games to kids with good grades. Public service is what he had in mind, but it looks like it might have cost him his job.

“GameStop is learning about and evaluating Mr. Scott’s concept. As always, GameStop maintains its corporate commitment to assisting parents and other consumers in making informed choices…” - blah, blah, blah.

At publication time, it wasn’t clear whether Scott was being fired.
