New US Toys R Us stores are kind of creepy.
First they aren't really selling toys or even own their stock. They only lease space in their stores to companies. For example only Lego profits if a Lego product items sells. Toys R Us doesn't collect any money on toy sales. They only make money from leasing space. But that's not the creepy part. That's just weird. The creepy part is they are monitoring and collecting data on shoppers with dozens of sensors located in the stores. What they consider "cadence" and "other metrics" isn't exactly clear. Isn't illegal to gather data on children? Isn't that what youtube got in trouble for?

Reason: typos
You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
