    Stores are supposed to then take what they’ve received and donate it to a local charity. The workers have to figure out what charity they’ll partner with, and have to do the leg work of coordinating the donations themselves.

    And let me guess, they’re either expected to do this in their free time or not miss their targets if they do it during work

    I wish my grandmother were still alive. She’d be the type to go down there and play along with me.

    “Hi, I’d like to trade in my 103 year old grandmother for $5.”

    And then we both poker face our way through a gamestop employees reactions.

    Holy hell. I have some bad GameStop trade-in stories, and that’s just from taking in normal trade-ins. I can’t even imagine the clusterfuck this would be. I’d be calling in sick.

    Well. I would have been interested in donating canned goods for charity, but not like this. This is a terrible idea.

    I can imagine some of the absolutely disgusting things that will be brought in from this. It’s already bad enough without a day to bring in “anything”. Too bad the executives in charge of these dumb ideas never have to put up with this crap.
