Dallas GameStop Makes The Grade Count

Have you been saving your allowance to buy the latest game release? At a Dallas GameStop location, you are also going to need to make your grades if you want to make a purchase. At the retail store off Interstate 20, manager, Brandon Scott, is enforcing a rule that you have to prove your grades meet a certain standard before he will sell you a title. WFAA-TV reports that “No school-age customer can buy a video game unless an adult confirms that the child’s getting good grades in school. GameStop doesn’t endorse or even know about the good-grade rule.” Scott admits he’s “probably going to get in trouble for this, but to me it’s worth it, because the kids understand that somebody cares.” Make your grades to get your game, and Scott will even purchase one for you to congratulate your hard work.
