Ha! That's just more work for poor Viking!

That's actually pretty smart, considering I have to check both TRU's in town anyway. Of course, you still have to be able to float the cost until the refund goes back in your account...

Toys r us on the other hand can have several "hands" touch the restock inventory request. The store manager looks it over and makes changes, then the district manager looks it over and makes changes, and the regional manager looks it over and makes changes, and then finally the Distribution center manager looks it over and makes changes depending on store "output", i.e. total sales. This system sucks for smaller stores because they give preferential treatment to larger stores or even their favorite stores. I worked at a high volume store in Ann Arbor Michigan, but the district and regional managers HATE that store so restocking anything but necessities and TRU brand crap was next to impossible.

I hope this helps to shed some light.
Wow, knowledge sure is beautiful. I wish Walmart and Targets made more of an effort to pander to collectors, I'd never step foot in a TRU again.

Stockers and collectors have their "deals" they make or stuff they want, so they put it in the bins/shelves above the toys. Just glance through the holes from the bottom and if you see a box, lift the flap, pull it out and see what you win!
That's a super tip! I thought about making 'deals' with the stocking guys, as they all pretty much know me now, but it just feels weird. I'll definitely be looking up in the overhead at the TRU's in the future!
