Ok I'll make this as brief as possible, the 3 Gamestops in the Flint area (and Burton,Michigan) are now REQUIRING your right thumb fingerprint, and your driver's license to enter you into the Michigan criminal system when trading in items. Now i have nothing to worry about i am not a criminal but this is just utter bullshit. I had 3 people behind me in line while I traded my 3 games in, I asked the retail associate how long this process was going to take she said about 40 minutes.. I was like your kidding right (no she wasn't). Anyways the whole reason behind this is because of the reduction of the Police force in the Flint area, and she said people bring in more stolen/hot gaming items then jewerly etc; So this is NOW required by them via the Police Department. I asked her when i left if she had anyone REFUSE this process and she was like several people have. If they continue this procedure I believe i will RENT my games from my local blockbuster. I then kindly asked her if she got a pay raise since she had to do EXTRA work, she frowned and said no--I said i would have quit..Typical employers add more work to your job, cost of living keeps going up, but your hourly rate doesn't..This ends my rant.

This has been a long practice in my local GS.
This is to avoid getting in trouble for receiving stolen merchandise.

Trading in games shouldn't take that long, if anything I wait longer to buy a lot of games cuz they gotta go through all the drawers to find them.

Well at least they are not asking for blood yet!
Haven't seen why this hasn't been enforced here where I live with all the dormroom thefts that happen here. Plus if you where ever robbed and this is what brings the thief in you would probably love this system. Oh well I guess hate it!

Ok, thumb prints - banks have been doing that for several years now + I have no problem with it. 40 minutes? Yeah, I have a problem with that. You said that you were an established customer, well, it should have been fast tracked, at least that's what I would have done. A new customer I can see taking the time to get it right. Long term / established customer, I already have you on file and on the store cams. Gamestop needs to pull their head out of their butts.
