Hate it for them but I posted this in the other thread

Getting my 2 year old son out of the toy section of any store is like I cut off his arm. It's never easy, fun, quiet, or cheap

Good, frick them. They tried to compete with online sellers by actually raising their prices.

Capitalism works again.

Yup.

All those millennials who took the company private over a decade ago and loaded it with debt

All those millennials who refused to overpay in stores for a crappy in-store experience

All those millennials who worked in R Us corporate who refused to properly invest in a decent store layout and a staff who cares

Truly sad. There was just something about going there as a kid and now taking my little boy there.

Good. Toys are a distraction and are a net negative on society. Kids should be earning their keep as soon as they can talk and walk.

We have one a few miles from the house and I've probably taken my 10 yr old daughter there once or twice.
