I remember the stock guys, taking time and looking at the boxes and finding the characters I wanted. Employees now, simply do not care. It could be the current generation that work in said places, never collected toys and have little to no idea what the heck is an action figure.

Different theories, but it is what you think it is essentially.
People think those times are gone for good, but eventually it will return, as people yearn for simplicity from the past and the market will open and provide it or a man with a GOOD brain will find a untapped, niche market.

I yearn for train stores and a more family friendly environment involving toys, and eventually that need will be filled by me or someone like myself who has the wherewithal to do it.

I think it's more that most retail employees are barely getting paid enough to live working multiple jobs, and certainly not enough to live with any sort of real comfort or security, so the amount of care they have for the job is understandably low. Plus, retail work environments are often garbage for a number of other additional factors aside from that as well, one of the big ones being frequent mistreatment by customers who hold low opinions of them, or who expect unrealistic things from them. For many of those people, they're literally only there because they have to be to live, and for a variety of other reasons, they have no better options for making a living.

TL;DR: maybe don't shittalk retail employees. They already have enough to deal with.
