Rant: Toys R Us

What a dump this place has turned into. My town has 2 and I am in between both and they both equally suck.The kids are doing Kickball in PE and somehow we're out of playground balls, had 3 or 4 and now we're down to 0. Whatever, it happens. Now I want a kick ball so I can wipe the diamond clean with these kids. They just don't have one. I am looking online and there's one for $20 I can order and pay shipping on or there's 1 available in the store that I can pickup in an hour, a Melissa and Doug frog face ball, fine whatever, oh nope, no stores within 100 miles have this item.I went and bought $300 worth of bicycles one day, not a single person would help us. I had to get the one down off the second level shelf myself. They went to charge me assembly and I threw a fit. if someone would have helped me, you could have given me the boxed one! But because I had to do their jobs already, I'm taking these bikes whether they want to sell it to me or not. Manager set the moron employees straight real quick, sad I had to throw a temper tantrum over it.A few months ago there was a clearance bike with no price. I roll it up to customer service, "There's no price on this, I would like to know what you're asking for it." "Do you want to warranty?" "I want to know what the price is" "$6.99" JACKPOT! I'll take it! "Your total is $169" "WTF? You said it was $7? That was the warranty!" "Well shit, you still haven't answered my original question, HOW MUCH IS THE BIKE?!"Amazon. Target. Hell, Walmart, if you must, quit giving us toys r us giftcards! It's not what it was when I was kid. via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2psjlKM
