Actually, I'm just against self-righteous busybodies telling businesses what products they can and cannot sell, and telling me where I can and cannot state my opinion.
I worked for “We B Toys” for about eight months; it started out being just for the Christmas season but I was asked to stay on and did until I got a better and higher paying full time job and no longer had to work in “Retail Hell” just to make ends meet ; ),
I mostly worked on the “We B Babies” side of the store (and don’t even get me started on waiting on the hormonal and overly emotional pregnant women, helping them complete their Baby Registry or even worse, them trying to return baby shower gifts they absolutely hated and went to great lengths of telling me why or why the MIL or SIL was a “biotch”, and some of which hadn’t even been purchased at “We B Babies” – had Target or Wal-Mart tags on them but insisted that I give them a refund or store credit for returning them) but I also worked on the toy side especially during the Christmas season and filled in on the toy side of the store as needed.
I was rather amazed how many adults collect action figures and also Lego sets. Every time a new Star Wars or Star Trek or Harry Potter, etc. action figure or Lego set came out, there would be adults (OK, Nerds : ), ) lining up before the store even opened and a lot of the new and most collectible action figures and Lego sets would sell out in the very first hour, and they were not buying them for kids.
I might also mention that Toys R Us sells video games, some of which like Call of Duty, Grand Theft Auto and Assassins Creed” are rated “M” meaning “Mature” i.e. – Not Meant For Kids. As I recall the few times I worked in the electronics department, anyone purchasing an “M” rated video game had to show ID to prove they were 18 years old or over.
Does overly concerned Florida Mom also complain about Toys R Us selling “M” rated video games?
She probably will once she finds out they are selling these video games that she, like the BB action figures, has no intention of buying either for herself or for her kids but will do what she can to prevent anyone else from buying them because…..she doesn’t like it!
