I observed the same when my kids were little. Other parents would let their kid run wild, pulling items off shelves and removing product from the boxes. The aisles were long, narrow and cluttered so kids could get easily get out of sight of the employees, who were typically at the front end checking customers out. I'm sure there was a lot of "leakage" in those stores.

When I was a boy, Child World was the place to get toys. I remember those stores being spacious, shiny and clean. The store employees wore shirts and ties and would give you scowl if you even slightly misbehaved.

I'm not surprised Toys R Us is going belly up. I am surprised it took this long.

My grandkids wouldn’t have the slightest idea what that means.

About 15 years ago I went to Filene’s pricey shoe department and said I wanted a black,high heeled pump and gave my size. The guy left,came back with about 8 boxes,dropped them on the floor,and said “Here,try these on” and he walked away.

I got up and walked away .
