There have been times when I've wished things upon GameStop employees and prayers for a plague of bees may or may not have escaped my lips.
However someone's prayers (or incantations) were heard in a New York GameStop where employees were trapped for hours inside their store by thousands upon thousands of bees.
New York's ABC7 was on hand for the chaos but experienced several problems of their own. The ABC7 crew reportedly called the police for help, who told them to call the fire department, who told them to call 911, who told them to call 311, who told them to call Mayor Bloomberg.
Yowza.
Eventually the police department's resident bee expert, Tony Planakis, used a queen bee scent to lure the insect horde away while he removed the hive. Crisis averted, GameStop employees resumed harassing patrons into reserving games and purchasing Game Informer subscriptions.
A word of warning GameStop... ease off the, "Would you like to reserve bla-bla-bla," and "for a few dollars more you can get a subscription to GameInformer along with our Edge card yada yada." Bees are where the plagues start. The next step? Bears.

We would stop, but the thing is, we don't like doing it any more than you like hearing it. Most people don't know that an employee's worth is determined by how many reserves, game insurance, and edge cards he or she sells. Without them, we get fired pretty quick.
