When we first got married my lovely wife worked at a Toys R Us, just as the Cabbage Patch Dolls came out. They needed some of Clarkstown, NY’S finest at the store to maintain order, it was that nuts over those stupid things. And when they released the Black Cabbage Patch Dolls, the sh!t really hit the fan. And it was WHITES fighting each over them. Our Black friends thought it was hilarious.
Baby Bust 2? 3?
My 4 year old will be crushed. I think she is a platinum card holder there.
Toys we Rn’t
Another victim of online retailers. I have a hard time believing brick stores will stay in business much longer for toys or books.
Working for the company in 1997 during their “objective 2000” remodel was an education in watching crappy management, mismanagement, and raging personalities.
One manager for the remodel ran his pwn schedule sheet, put people on said schedule without telling them, then shrieked at them in the middle of the store in front of customers.
Can’t say that I’m broken up over this news.
