Bankrupt Toys R Us sets aside $16 million for executive bonuses

[Zaap]

TrUS has weathered every kind of biz climate for the past 70 years tho.

On a basic level... if people running a toystore chain can't sell toys to kids and parents, and make a tidy profit, after doing so for 70 years....!

What kind of fucked up 'businessman' are you?

The kind that doesn't see them getting new lines of credit.

That's akin to fucking up your credit line when your business is selling water to people crawling out of arid deserts!

You're running a business where I have to keep your main customers on a leash of "no! We can't have that! Maybe for your birthday. Christmas. We'll see. No. No. No. Okay fine... but just this one! Don't tell mom..."

...and you fuck that up? Just sad.

They've already proven that they cannot adapt to the current business climate so there's no way in hell that I'd keep the same executives who ran it into the ground.

When I heard KKR got involved I knew Toys r Us was going to be loaded with debt and destroyed, thats what they do.

Well it looks like Toys R Us might be shutting their stores next week.

So fucking pathetic of the corporate world.

RIP Toys R us. It was like heaven for a 10 year old 40 years ago.

I still remember when I bought my oldest son's baby stroller, crib and play pen at the TRU northside store in KC, MO. That place was fantastic with a great selection of adult toys as well, albeit they weren't hobby quality rc's.

They need to push a line of coal powered toys. To make America great again.

Back then adult toys were made mostly by Nikko and didn't cause parents to shield their children's eyes.
