A Gamestop store has reportedly been stapling customer receipts to Switch 2 boxes and puncturing holes in the screens

In "news to make your teeth itch", a Gamestop store in Staten Island has reportedly been stapling receipts to boxes containing brand-spanking-new Nintendo Switch 2 consoles. Ordinarily this wouldn't be much of an issue, but thanks to a lack of protection between the outer layer and the LCD screen inside, midnight launch attendees at this particular store have complained that some of their Switch purchases have ended up with holes punctured in the screen.

A thread on the Gamestop subreddit from user Konflick first identified the issue, although the original post has since been deleted by the moderators (via Kotaku). However, X user Wario 64 managed to grab images of a damaged Switch 2, and they're not pretty.
