GameStop workers say its Trade Anything Day will be a huge mess

A promotion that sounds nice on paper is not always a good time for the people who actually have to make it happen. Take, for example, GameStop’s upcoming Trade Anything Day. The video game retailer is branding Dec. 6 as a lax day for trade-ins, when customers will be able to bring in nearly anything and get $5 store credit. PR-wise, it’s a great pitch. But the workers who will have to process — or more likely reject — the unfortunate things people try to trade that day are buckling up for a bad time.
