>>6538570>Cut the hours it stays open (No one is gonna be buying toys at 10 in the morning. Open from Noon to 8 to cut down on business hours/expenses)Actually they do, a lot on weekends. I was in living in WA traveling to OR and CA for work between 2010~2014 and I toy hunt as TRU open and they were busy with moms and grandparents on weekdays, got to the east cost PA traveling to WV, OH, KY, VA and same story between 10 to noon it was busy with parents. Your move would kill sales in a bad way for those areas as they would just learn go to Walmart or Target at that time.
>Cut down on store size (Toys-R-Us is like half the size of a Wal-mart/Target but you see like 1/20th the amount of people there.)That's a lose/lose because remodeling cost money and even not using a part of the store would just be wasteful because cost of upkeep, property tax and so on would still be eating at it, Also a major seller throughout the summer is bikes and sports equipment which need a lot of room to both store and display.
>Stop overcharging for everything that's not video gamesThis one is fair but it becomes dicey because those market ups are a by product of hiked worker wagers, it's why you see fewer workers too, they can't afford what they are paying them and unlike Walmart/Target they have no other departments that are low wholesale making up for the weaker wholesale toys are.
>Stop giving into scalpersThat is likely there biggest buyer are the guys wanting the new wave/exclusive first. You are telling someone not to make a grand+ in a single sale because others -might- buy it too soon, more so when that scalper shopper is always coming back, to them that's killing the golden goose in the hopes some poor kid/manchild with parents money can actually afford the item
>enforce a one-per-person limit on action figures so someone doesn't walk in and buy a whole case assortment before it even goes on the shelfThat would piss off family's with more than one kid.
