Today, my brother and I went to TRU to look for the dynamic duo, and we didn't find anything. However, we did find some L Packs and L Elves, so we got those. While we were in there, we took a look at the Chima sets and actually found some Bionicles buried down there, which they gave us for free.
But here comes the bad part. We're looking at some sick Xbox headsets and controllers and the guy on the ladder drops the box he's carrying, and a BUNCH of Eye Brawl/ Thumpbacks fall on the floor. He climbs down and tries to shove them in the box so we don't see, but we see them anyway. We ask if we can buy some and he just says "No". We ask why and he tells us that they're not out yet, and we tell him he's wrong. He's obviously trying to scalp them, and we show those two on eBay and Amazon as proof. He still doesn't believe us and we show him the Twitter post about them. He get's really mad once he knows he's beat and starts cussing us out and yelling in front of kids and moms. The scene is crazy as he's yelling and swearing, boxes fall off of high shelves and kids are crying, the manager comes out and sends him out to the curb, and all the staff are trying to fix everything and calm everybody down. We ask if we can still purchase the characters and he just says "What's wrong with you kids?" and just takes the box back to the back of the store.
We ended up getting the L's, and the lady at the register says she'll hide some for us to buy later while we're leaving.

Toys R Us employees have a tendency to be rather jerkish at times. It develops due to putting up with scalpers, angry parents, and unattended children that like to smack things off the pegs and open packages.
Still doesn't excuse such treatment to customers though. |

If I wasn't right next to an employee when he pulled out a Clear Stealth Elf, he says he would've put it on eBay. And, BOTH of those employees (MANAGER included) are idiots, total, idiots. They obviosly aren't smart enough to check the boxes for release dates.

TRU is a horrible store. The employees are scalpers and the service is no different than crap. More like Crappy Are Us.

So Wumbo made the TRU story just to draw attention to himself..? And yes, I figured the part when the TRU employee started cussing was kinda off there.

:c I believe it a little. It's not like it's impossible for something like this to happen, yo'. The cussing part is a little unbelievable though. But, you'd be surprised how messed up some store employees could be. o:

^ This! Some of the employees don't even give a crap about you.
I once asked someone if they had more figures in the back and they said this: "I don't care, how about you go back there and look?" in a nasty way.

^ Whenever I ask, I just get the same old response: "All our Skylanders are at the front, if we don't have the one you have check back in a week or so". I know the person is lying because I just ask other employees and at least one of them isn't lazy and checks the back. Most of the time the employee comes out with about 3 to 5 boxes.

Okay, I don't understand why swearing is some kind of impossible act to you all. It's not like it never happens or something. Besides, the dude was clearly some kind of dropout who probably didn't even want to work at TRU.
