    Every KB toys I ever went to seemed like the store was in total disarray. With out of place merchandise all the floor, and one or two exacerbated teen employees trying to ring people up and pick up the store. Guess that’s why it was so fun to go as kid.

      I worked at an Independent toy that was awesome, mostly highschool / college students working there, got to build window displays and didn’t sell crap toys. When I moved right after highschool I thought I liked working at a toy store let me go work at KB toys. Big mistake It’s a hell scape, and my coworkers were living sad lives commuting 1+ hours to work at KB Toys in their 30s and 40s. I was working on 9/11 we just about open when Bush closed everything down.

        Lol, I can’t believe your manager was going to keep the store open on 9/11. I’m sure corporate would have been proud.
