GameStop has a message for law enforcement during the coronavirus shutdown: don’t even try to classify us as a non-essential business.

A Vice Games report circulates a memo sent to employees that is to be presented to law enforcement or anyone else trying to shut down stores. The same memo was also obtained by Kotaku and to Polygon.

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

Employees were given a flyer to hand to law enforcement that has the company’s corporate numbers on it.

This comes days after another report stated that the chain was poorly equipped to handle the virus. Following that story, GameStop updated its coronavirus policies on its website.

"We are providing all our stores with the necessary supply of disinfectant materials and hand sanitizer to frequently clean high-touch surfaces to kill germs and ensure our stores are a safe environment for both our customers and store associates,” the retailer said on its website.

GameStop has reduced its hours and is limiting the number of customers allowed in the store at any one time. It changed its release date for Doom Eternal to today in an effort to practice social distancing and separate it from the latest Animal Crossing game release on Friday.

GameStop has not responded to these new reports about the memo.
