For the last few years, GameStop, likely owner of your local AT&T store, has decided not to take part in the Thanksgiving Day retail frenzy in much of the rest of the mall. This year, though, there’s a new Nintendo console to sell, and employees asked the chain to open up on the holiday. Wait, what?
No, really, that’s what the company said. Kotaku learned about the policy shift from employees who took part in the conference call where this was announced, and the company confirmed that it’s shifting back to staying open “for a shortened and limited time” on the holiday. Because customers and employees asked for it.
