Toys R Us has always been far more expensive than every other place that sells toys, on or off the internet. They can't blame online stores for their failure....sounds like poor management.

Part of the problem is that big stores bring big costs. Heating, cooling, lighting, cleaning, and stocking a big store are all more expensive. Those costs end up getting passed on to the consumer.

I've been to Toys R Us twice this week.  Bought a few things the first time to put away for gifts, got home after the first trip and realized one was a duplicate of something I'd already bought and returned it yesterday and bought something else.

 

On the first visit, I told the associate we were thinking about them and hoped they'd stay in business.  It felt awkward NOT to say anything.

 

He's a young guy.  Said he'd been with the company for 18 years and would be devastated if they closed.  Having been through company sales and layoffs before (more than once), I felt for him and told him so.

 

Times his story by 33,000.


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

My funny, radio guys said,

 

”Do you think the spelling of their name finally caught up with them?’

 

🤣🤣🤣🤣

I must not not have taken my brain vitamins this morning. I don’t understand this post and what’s funny about it.

The “R” instead of “ARE”....and a backwards “R”, to boot.

Ok....still looking for the humor though.  I don’t think it’s funny.
