_The Doctor__

It is a shame b/c I actually thought that TRU had really good stores. My experiences w/ TRU and BRU in the last few years was really good. Well stocked and organized stores with employees that are helpful. They may not have always been best on price, but they are in a space where it is really hard to compete w/ big box stores like Wal-Get and online. Plus with demographics changing and there just being fewer kids overall I can see why they are in big trouble.

It seems to me that a brick and mortar store could compete with an online retailer in the same category, but when you've got one massive seller covering all categories and growing by the day, there's not much chance, especially for things that ship easily and you don't need instantly.
