I'm not corporate shill but blame the dumbasses in such a rush to get those games they HAD to lineup. They were open all day. I got mine at 2pm and no one was around yet there was still a line of 10 people at the BestBuy (one guy was returning an Atari console!).
There was also the option of cancelling the preorder and buying online or digitally. They weren't accepting trades or cash and had wipes on hand if you needed to use the pin pad. Also, they announced they were closing for the foreseeable future as of the end of the day Friday.

EB is bad, so is BB.
Walmart needs to stay open for essentials (like foods) and for the pharmacy. May be they should make all other departments off limit while they have to stay open for people that needs their prescriptions, etc.
And people put their entertainment & preorder deposits over health, not to mention potentially putting their family members at risk. Everyone can live w/o Animal Crossing and DOOM Eternal. Yes, EB wasn’t flexible in letting customers choose another delivery methods (may be not doable in some manners?) but it is not like EB is canceling their preorders.
They closed probably because of the public backslash. They most likely just wanted to dump all their Animal Crossing and DOOM before the lockdown to minimize loss.
