Yeah...when you snip out the important parts of my post, it certainly is interesting... :-/

 I snipped only the parts I agree with.

All this is going to do is teach the kids to shop at Walmart, where they don't care what your grades are.

You mean the children with bad grades don't you?

The manager is actually separating his target market much like an "upscale restaurant" only serving to appropriate clientele.

Which is not bad. Perhaps bad for business a bit, but I think I know where all the kids with straight As are going...it probably draws in substantial business for kids with decent grades too.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )

You know how happy I would be if that turned out to be true and we really did start singling out and demeaning stupid people? I'm just saying I know black/white segregation and all that is horribly wrong and all that, but damn I would be happy if I didn't have to deal with all the stupid people. I would even consider working retail again.

He got suspended. I say good riddens. Policies like that are ridiculous and are BULLSHIT.

It wasn't a well thought out policy but a suspension seems a little unnecessary.

He did think it was going to cause trouble with his superiors when interviewed, guess he got that right.

A businesses main objective is to make money. Refusing sales doesn't make money, therefore the business has an issue. It wasn't corporate policy, and it's not like he owned the store. GameStop was completely justified in their approach.
