I’d love to support Toys R Us again, but they don’t have a very big selection. Those other options aren’t good for toy shopping. Kids want specific toys.
Stop making excuses and just Google it. I didn’t even know toys r us was even still a thing before that comment. If you care more about convenience than boycotting just say that, but it’s very much not “impossible” to avoid certain stores if you actually want to.
Also they’re not your kids? Why would it be your job to get them some specific toy?
That’s fair - for birthday gifts for my kids’ friends, I can use Toys R Us’s limited selection as long as I remember to get the gift in advance.
But my own kids have birthdays coming up, and there are some toys I can’t reasonably get any other way.
Working full time and raising two kids, some convenience is necessary. Life is hard. I’m already making it harder by not going to Target, which is two minutes from my house and sells basically everything I need. I think that’s reasonable, especially since Target is the only one of those companies that’s actually likely to cave to a boycott. But I guess I stumbled into the wrong community to voice that stance.
