or worse yet get all indignant. Its a bad situation to put folks in. Now where they COULD show some judgment and responsibility is by not shoving this shit back out on the shelves, ... they should put one in the L column and take the loss, but no they will keep on keepin on and try to pawn it off on the next unsuspecting customer/
^Yup. While I know that most of my local TRU staff are utterly ignorant of the toys they are selling (I don't just mean Joes, I mean everything - they don't know where or WHAT stuff is even in strictly for-kids toy lines either) I know that some of them have to at least be sharp enough to notice that the figures don't even fit the backing, or that they don't look like ANY of the other figures on the peg when they go to restock the return. There is some culpability in both areas, I think. Some ignorance, some apathy.
And I don't mean to pick on TRU, but when it comes to selling toys I expect the staff at a toy-specific store to have some awareness, possibly even TRAINING in the product segment which is their sole ware. I expect less information about toys from a store that stocks everything from food to diapers to car accessories.
TRU employees' toy ignorance annoys me almost as much as the three separate occasions on which I went to a KFC and was told that they had run out of chicken. What...the...fu... How do you run out of chicken, in the early afternoon, at a place where all you do is sell chicken? What do you plan to do for the next six hours you're going to be open? Gaaaaaaah!
