How is the way Nintendo boxed them "weird"? If anything, stapling the receipt to the box is weird, that's so unnecessary. No other store is doing that.

Update 6/5/2025 12:42 p.m. ET: A customer who was impacted by the stapling issue says they were told that replacement units are on there way from a neighboring store. How did the staples become a thing to begin with? According to what they were told, the store’s air conditioner was broken and it had gotten hot enough in the store that the receipts weren’t staying taped to the boxes. To avoid mixed up paper work they were stapled on instead.

It was too hot for tape? That's bullshit, it was only 85 fahrenheit in Staten Island today, what kind of tape are they using that stops working at 85 degrees? WHY DID YOU NEED TO TAPE THE RECEIPTS, THEN??? JUST PUT IT IN THE BAG. WHY ARE YOU OVER-COMPLICATING THIS???

Nintendo makes a lot of dumb decisions. But stapling a receipt to the box wasn't one of them. Don't blame Nintendo for this, blame the morons working at the Staten Island GameStop.

You've got a shelf full of fifty boxes. Forty five of them are sold. You've got five people working in the store across three registers. You want to make sure that the people who ordered one get one, so you pre-allocate them by printing out all the orders and attaching them to the box.
