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... -
Honestly this whole "TRU Revival" is ridiculous. It's akin to someone killing Toys R Us and then skinning them and parading around in the skin suit and hoping that no one notices the difference.
"It's really me, your old pal TRU... Pay no attention to the stitches..."
It's a shame there was more money is closing TRU than actually selling it to real investors who wanted to keep the stores open and the brand alive. They had a couple of legit offers.Comment

"Toys “R” Us Pivots From Teddy Bears to Surveillance"
The once loved toy giant could have simply died a quiet death. Instead it has been co-opted and transformed into a private equity surveillance project.

I am not sure there is a public space left anywhere in the US where cameras are not in use and where yo are not being recorded, whether they notify you or not. And if there is not a camera per se, it's likely some private citizen with a phone is filming somewhere in the vicinity so you are being filmed anyways. Not saying it's a good thing, just where things are at at this point in the 21st century. Heck, things like google maps and google earth means large swaths of non-public space is also being filmed, so the fact that someone is now trying to monetize it (or that people have been trying to monetize it in various ways for a while now) is not shocking, or even news really.
