              i did time there as well and definitely the only benefit was getting first dibs. i wonder if their policies have changed regarding employee purchases.

                I also worked there for about a month when I was on winter break from college one year. I just needed to work wherever I could find it to help pay for books, etc. when I went back to school. It was minimum wage and although I spent most of my days out on the floor stocking shelves and helping customers; I had a difficult time with co-workers. Nobody particularly mean but just didn't find anything in common with anyone. I also felt extremely bad that this was basically their occupation while I was just making some money for school. The managers were pretty nice to me though. I worked hard there and did whatever was asked without question. I wish I could have said that I had first dibs on toys which I'm sure I did but was so focused on saving for college, I didn't buy anything.

                  With me being totally unfamiliar with their policies in regards to employee purchases what were they like when you worked there? Just curious to know.

                  Too much space. Need more toys!

                      Actually TRU is owned by the same private investment company that owns the company I work for and they are really smart when it comes to this type of stuff.

                      My kids are past the toy buying age with the exception of my 10 year old and he's starting to lose interest. I noticed that Wal-Mart was eating TRU's lunch a few years ago but the local Wal-Marts seem to not be carrying the variety of toys they once did and neither does Target. Maybe they see an opportunity to jump back and grab market share.
