    Brick and mortar stores are a thing of the past.
    Everything is internet these days.

                He's moving to the North Pole to work for Santa.

                His work history should get his foot in the door.

                          To be fair this wasn't all Amazon (they didn't help though). The store in our town started turning into a dump before Amazon became a major issue for brick and mortar stores. We have some smaller toy stores in town doing just fine because they are actually fun to go into and people tend to purchase toys at slightly higher prices. We even have a local arcade thriving because they make it a fun place to be when everybody is complaining about how modern game consoles destroyed arcades. A lot of the problem is many of these stores don't value the visitor's experience enough.

                              highlighted "stupid", it is not only the stupid but the selfish egomaniac parents
                              not all parents, but many
                              All my friends (mostly men between 45-85 and most of them with children) agree, that any man that has a child in this day and age might need an evaluation


                              men my age and older here on forum/planet that had they started practicing a practical solution to problems even I saw coming 30 plus years ago - we would be in much better shape as a nation and world.

                              Considering 20% of men or more that did have children were or are shit for fathers, it should be no surprise the country looks like it does.

                                Damn, a friggin toy store goes belly up and it turns into "The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street" around here. Who'd of guessed that'd be the tipping point? I guess all we do now is await the impending arrival of the Four Horsemen.

                                  Make sure his six year old chews on a piece of plastic and chokes to death on it? What the penetrate is wrong with you. Be a political oyster until your heart desires, but even an ignorant joke about someone's kid should be below that. You must be a Grade A piece of shit.

                                              First record stores, now toy stores... many of the chain book stores bit the dust too.

                                              I guess all we have to look forward to anymore are grocery stores. They still have those, right?

                                                  I use Best Buy as a showroom, then go home and order Amazon online. Or even right in the store using my cell.

Plus, on anything that retails for $50.00.... you can basically get it for at least $5.00 off and free shipping online... sometimes NO TAX. You'd be a fool to spend that $50.00 + state tax at Toys R Us. Again, it's society now...
