>>11460659>Was working at TRU at the time and I remember when we first got them and when they exploded in popularity.Same, because I worked in the R-Zone and they dumped all the responsibility for it on me. Because it was a hot ticket item they would only allow the purchase of one pet and one playset so they put them on a table in my section, told guests that was the only area they could purchase them in, and had me make sure the rules were followed. Still had assholes complain. Also, during Black Friday, they were handing out rain check tickets for the popular items to the people at the start of the line so they could guarantee product for the people that got there first. Some dude then proceeded to go up the entire line, through the whole parking lot down the road trying to sell his tickets. No one was budging though because it was such a scum bag move, then somone called the cops to report it and he actually got arrested to the applause of the entire crowd. It was one of the damndest things I've also seen. Pic related, saw the new ones at Walmart the other day and all this PTSD came flooding back in my brain.
