pranking game stop and getting on the ban list

[Kyle Nuva]

so two different people would bring in junk, fake consoles and games, multiple attempts at other stores quickly got them intro trouble and on the ban list, some employees somehow already seen such videos. so they have the power to call the cops for like trespassing? now come on, its just a prank and as of late, people have turned into the biggest snowflakes on earth and cant take a joke. its a prank for crying out loud, not a crime. therefore its not trespassing and besides, 911 is only for emergencies, not for pranks or forcing people out of the store. the store owners should be at fault for wasting their time, not the customer, and where are they gonna shop for games next huh? however, one of the two people was sus by taking a photo of the employ without them knowing, made it the logo of a game and tried to return it to gamestop, ok thats a red flag on being on the creepy side. yet still not able to take a joke is still ridiculous. so they went to gamestop HQ to lift the ban, only to be told to leave but manage to talk to the ceo with the same prank... so the prank got them in trouble in the first place and his best idea to undo the ban is with the same prank? makes no sense. what they should have said was like we dont do it again, using the same prank that started it is ludicrous. its just a prank, people need to learn that and stop being a fragile snowflake

Those stores are private property. As such, (in the case of commercial properties) once an individual is informed they are no longer welcome at a location(s), if said individual returns to the property(s) they are, in fact, committing the crime of trespassing. An individual has no legal right to access another's private property (unless that right has been conferred by contract).

...911 is only for emergencies....

Or to report crimes (such as trespassing).

Sorry but this whole thing sounds like "stupid people did stupid thing(s)" and " Omg I can't believe they had to suffer [the predictable] consequences for their actions". Especially as you've indicated that they've done this multiple times at multiple locations.

(Most) Businesses aren't there for your personal amusement. Don't expect that they'll welcome you back to their store(s) when you purposely and repeatedly waste their time. Neither employees nor businesses tend to be all that fond of that.

Because messing with people’s livelihoods and wasting employees' time with fake consoles and "pranks" is just so hilarious, right? Stores are there to conduct business, not to entertain pranksters who think everyone else's time and patience is their playground. And calling employees "snowflakes" for not laughing along? Maybe the issue isn't that everyone else is too sensitive ... it's that some people don't understand basic respect for others' time and workplace rules. And what’s next, "just a prank" becomes the catch-all excuse for anything inappropriate or disruptive? Store bans exist for a reason, and if you can't even respect that, maybe it's time to rethink who's really acting like the fragile one here ...

So, you don't see a problem with someone committing fraud or larceny or otherwise attempting to misrepresent their returned product for personal gain?

It'll be nice when someone does that to you, right? Fun prank...

And, yes, it's private property and they can refuse entry if they wish and do not have to serve anyone.

Sounds like some unemployed behavior to me
