"A Washington State GameStop employee was robbed at knife point Monday night by a man muttering to himself, Bellingham police report."

"The employee told police that a "tall, very skinny white man" in his 20s was browsing in the store for about 45 minutes before taking several games to the register. After the employee rang up the games the man began to walk out of the store talking to himself. The muttering man then turned around and pulled out a small knife and demanded cash and games."

Im surprised that n4g didnt report the robbery at a gamestop in cherry hill, nj. Two guys ran in there with guns, stole 15g's in cash, and like another 2-3g's merchandise.

it's dangerous to work there and even more dangerous to shop there as an uneducated consumer.

Expect more and more things like this to happen as the US's economy gets worse.

Your going to have crime. What do you think goes on in India? China? and Lord knows Africa. Work at a store that has cash and you stand to get knocked off

I wasn't talking about crime in general. I meant places that you never expected to get robbed will be getting robbed as people get desperate for money.

yup, my classmate was pistol whipped by a robber back in '06, the robbers took all the PS3s and Wiis and dozens of games

I never got robbed while working at gamestop, but I've heard plenty of horror stories about other stores in the region.

Depends on how much cash you can get lol. Part-time is what 10 bucks/hour? or less?
