"He needs to be reading a book. He knows how to play before he knows how to do his ABCs and 123s - that's backwards," said store manager Brandon Scott who imposed a policy of refusing to sell games to school-aged children unless an adult would confirm the child's good grades. As a result he has so far refused about two dozen game sales he said although most of them had returned with proof of good grades to make their purchase.
While many local parents applauded the act. GameStop has suspended Scott following reports of his actions. In a statement the affiliate said it 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." Scott himself said he wasn't certain whether the suspension was the prove of his policy which he first implemented earlier this summer or because he spoke to the media about it.
Along with his grades policy. Scott maintained other self-imposed rules of care in his hold on. "They experience when they come in here they do not curse they do not use the N-word pull your clothes up," he said. He also said he'd buy a mark new game for any student who showed him a straight-A report card with a teacher's signature and a parent present.
The suspension has not lessened Scott's commitment to "making a difference," he said. "I wouldn't say rebel but I can be rebellious. I can contend for what I believe in."
