Davkaus Posted December 18, 2017 Share Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) It sucks when people lose their job, but to be honest, I'm kind of glad that Toys R Us is going bust. I've been in there 3 or 4 times to buy presents for various friends' children, and it's been **** shit on every occasion.On one I was made to feel like a thief and asked to leave my bag at the customer disservice desk, despite several women walking past with handbags. The last time I was in there, last year, the checkout staff didn't even have scanners. They typed barcodes in by hand. A customer having a voucher turned in to a 10 minute long ordeal that needed two separate managers. There were 4 customers waiting to be pay, and no fewer than 6 staff just strolling about chatting and waiting at the customer disservice desk, not willing to take payment. I put my items on the floor and walked out, then ordered them from Amazon. **** Toys R Us. Good riddance. WH Smiths next, please. Or Boots.

Be careful what you wish for, the death of the high street isn’t particularly beneficial to anyone. I do agree with you on Toys R Us though, a perfect example of an outdated model that just didn’t move with the times, in the age of internet competition they were always going to fail.

Did that cheer you up, or something that pissed you off that shouldn't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In isolation, barely worth a mention. Cumulative effect though - the proverbial straw that broke the camels back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rugeley Villa Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 Last day today. 9 of us have just got to felt a roof in, so should be done for 12 ish. I do find myself in a bad situation though, most of them are boozers and will be foaming at the mouth to get on it when we finish. Just need to stay strong headed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
