People talking about how evil Amazon is for *killing* Toys “R” Us as though Toys “R” Us didn’t have an online presence.
I’m sure their decrepit business model, obscene prices, and the fact that they haven’t updated their marketing strategy since the 90s had nothing to do with it.
Toys R Us got bought out and slapped with a ton of debt in some debt related gambling by their ostensible “investors” in some debt flipping scheme, apparently.
It seems like this is honestly one of those cases where they got screwed over by those that owned them rather than not being able to keep up with online retailers as is “usual” for brick and mortar stores
who the FUCK killed toys r us
