I worked at Toys R Us seasonally 5 different times. Once over the summer, during a renovation. We were there to move entire aisles, pallet stock, pull down old shelving and hang new shelving. Plus lots of cleaning around the subcontractors. The other four times were for the Christmas holidays. The catch was that this was all at night. 11pm to 8am (two 15 minute breaks and 1/2 hour lunch. Great job during school break. Work for three weeks, last day for me was Christmas eve and make about 1,000 bucks and go back to school a few days later. I had the old board game wall. Back then, Toys was three rows deep with board games taking up the entire right side of the main part of the store. Action figures was aisle 7c, and that was a pain with all the hooks and different sized packaging. The biggest dedication for the store was Barbie, which took up all of 13C, no part of the store was so dedicated to one product. Plus we would unload at least 2 53 foot trailers each night as well. And yeah, it was easy to get distracted with all of the toys and comic books around.
