[quote name='Togepy']Don't trust Toys R Us employees. I once spoke to an employee about both the GBA SP/SMA4 bundle and the buy 2 get 1 free PS2 and Xbox games and they had no idea about them even though it was only a week before time. The guy even said "how did you find that out, are you a hacker?", so I'm like no... I just know where to look online. Last time I ever think a TRU employee knows any upcoming specials...[/quote]
That's cause most retailers don't tell their employees what's going on sale till the day it does... I know at officemax anyone who's not in management is not even supposed to see the circular until sunday morning, which is retarded since they send out the "offical" sneak peek on the web saturday.. and some papers get them saturday as well, not to mention unoffical outlets such as this one that get them several days to weeks in advance. This is all in a futile attempt to drive sales of items that are to go on sale, at full price till the very last day, as well as keeping hoarders from buying up all the good stuff only to return and repurchase it the following week to get the sale price. So don't get mad at an employee for not coming to sites like this and finding out deals in advance, he's not ignorant or playing dumb... very few workers know that info and the ones that do shouldn't... so consider yourself privlaged I guess
