So I went into Toys "R" Us today, and went into the wrestling figure section to see the whole aisle from UFC, to TNA, to the WWE figures absolutely destroyed. There were boxes all over all the way down the row, including a half open John Morrison Flex Force, and a completely open John Morrison Flex force just lying out. Seriously looked like a tornado went through it. So I took the two Morrisons, and what was left of the box and brought them to an employee. Got back to the aisle and took this picture: This is only 1/4 of the row. The rest was not any better by any means. The second I seen it I was pretty upset that someone would do all this, child or not. So I cleaned it up and organized it: While cleaning it up I found ANOTHER half open Flexforce Morrison and 2 opened mini UFC 4 packs.. So I took those 3 and brought them to a different employee who was on his way to come clean it up as I told the first employee it was a mess. So I told him I cleaned it up for him, and we talked alittle. So he thanked me and I left. Also I got a Royal Rumble Chris Jericho, as the only Jericho I have is the Backlash '04 with tights and long hair. Anyways, thought I'd share my story.

I see this all the time, people don't give a about anything.. Yeah. Not my store, I don't work there and I don't even go there that often but it's just disgusting to see. I don't care if it's a child either, one that is old enough to be alone in the store (I'm assuming they were alone because what parent would sit and watch it) should be old enough to know right or wrong and not open multiple toys, and throw boxes around. Made me pretty upset.

They shoulda given you store credit for being so helpful, when you could've just left it all there for someone else to deal with.

And after telling the second one that I cleaned it all up, I went and paid for Jericho and left. Maybe if I told the manager, but I really wasn't concerned about that. Just wanted to help out. My reward was the feeling of doing something good.

I'm the same way. Sad thing is it seems like TRU shelves are very flimsy and you breathe wrong and a whole slew of figures drop. I remember cleaning up an aisle and one of the associates said I should apply since I am there so much and cleaning the aisle. I'd be taking a big pay decrease if I worked there, which would make it harder for me to obtain the wrestling figures I would be stocking..

Good of you to do so.
I have done that alot too, the worst one was in my local Toys R Us when the DA's had just come out, I went to get Orton and Rey, got there and it was a state, I grabbed an Orton, couldin't find Rey so I cleaned everything up, decided on Angle then left.

I just got back from TRU and EVERY action figure aisle was like that, minus the open figures -_- Then again, it was like that at Target, Walmart, and every other store around here. I can't clean all that up... *sigh*

I always wonder if the employees at the Targets & Walmarts I go to wonder why the WWE section is always in perfect order but the rest of the toy isle is a disaster?

Some people suck by nature. Some don't. Obviously, you fall into the latter group, of those who don't. If more people acted like that, then there wouldn't be these ridiculous problems.

Always happens,especially at Walmart. I always clean it up. It once even paid off, I found a Kimbo Slice when I was putting some figures back in place. Guess karma is real.

I'm sorry but i would never do that. TO many times i have walked into TRu to see employees just standing around or walking around. If i knock a figure off the pegs or off a shelf yeah i pick it up but that is as far as i go. I don't think any of them would help me at me job so why help them? Just how i feel. I think the aisles turn a disaster when they stock the shelves. My TRU shoves to many figures on the shelf sometimes and when you thumb threw them sometimes they fall off instead of them just putting out what fits.

Off topic but I have a tendancy to re arrange DVDs and CDs in shops to correct them. I also pick clothes from the floor in shops, only because since I worked there I hated people who just picked what they wanted and left a huge mess.
If I worked at Toys R Us I'd be patrolling the Wrestling section (that is being invaded by Ben 10 and Power Rangers).

Help the store, help other customers, and help yourself by not looking at such a mess. And as for bringing the store opened toys, I just know someone would have taken advantage of that, and stole them just for the hell of it, because they can. Obviously stealing is wrong and I could stop it or help prevent it by handing over the open toys, so I did.

Now I don't work in that store ( I don't even work for Toys R Us), but thank you for doing something nice. I work at Walmart in the electronics department and sometimes cover toys, and its unbelievable sometimes seeing the mess that people leave for us to clean up. Now I know its part of my job to straighten things up, and I'm not complaining about that, but there are times that it looks (as you said) like a tornado has come through the aisles. Its cool to know that there's people out there that not only pick up something that they may accidentally drop or knock off, but also pick up after others. Good job, karma has been left

in My local TRU
every time when i visit it's always messy and disorganized..
not just the WWE section almost all of the action figure section!
and a lot is on the floor worse than what K.0. posted
it's so bad, a lot of repackaged figures because a bunch people attempted in stealing them.
it's very sad, not only that they are always 2 series late on every figure lines because once a week i always visit and check new things out they always have the same thing..they lack in organizing and stocking figures and also supervising to prevent the low-life toy thieves
