    Dude, I know how you feel about Toys 'R' Overpriced in Penrith.
    They are useless.

    What annoys me the most is they dont have lay-by there anymore. I easily had $400 worth of stuff in my trolley that I wanted on lay-by, only to be told they dont do it no more. I just left it in the aisle as is and took off.

    I havent bought a single figure from them in ages because of how bad they are, and the lack of anything that I want. Everytime I go there, its the same crap. I dont even bother travelling out of my way to go there anymore.

    I could go on about my experiences from that store, but it will take all day to write it all

    My only complaints:
    - over priced
    - no layby

    But they are not enough to make me hate them.

    Nor morley. But he has.

    I too dislike toys r us, as vented here.

    they are ridiculously expensive and the lack of knowledge of their staff is embarrasing.

    Oh and Gok whipped up the comic with his Toys R What? thing! I like that one and was wondering where I saw it! Cheers Gok!

    Toys 'R' What describes them so perfectly.
    I asked one, sweet, rent-a-drone where something was one day and she giggled. Like an actual real high pitched giggle. She said she'd go look for me. I found her ten minutes later in another part of the store 'working' away and asked her what happened and she just smiled and said, 'Sorry, we don't have any.'

    Another time a manager caught me in their storeroom trying to locate new TF's that had been released at all other TRW's but not mine and he told me I should have asked staff on the floor to help me. I told him that there were no staff on the floor. He didn't have an answer to that.

    It's best to voice your displeasure with your wallet and not buy there at all, Zaul. I would do the same in your position.
    Bomb scares and death threats are fun as well...albeit illegal.

    I like how it was the manager who caught you and not a staff... They didn't have staff in the storeroom as well?

    Lack of staff is also very common in many TrU stores.

    In the store room.

    Man, I'm going to try that one.

    The thing I don't currently like: Having to pay extra on top of the kings ransom for a bag now. Some sort of greenie rubbish.

    Man I hate how smelly poor dirt eaters cause prices to skyrocket.

    Almost forgot my pictures I did a while ago.....





    Still relevant.

    Same as at Target... you would figure that all prices in store would have been reduced 15c or whatever it is for the price of the bag... lol
