Toys R Us training videos used by Toys R Us Australia in the 1990s

She looks like she's struggling to stay awake

[@whereismyxanax]

🤣👌

[@yuma420]

Looks high AF.

[@pantegohummus8215]

Shes floatin

[@tracyseymour6059]

The narrator looks stoned

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

"dont be a hero !" I know someone who actually got fired for stopping a shop lifter in the act.

[@JustAnotherNamelessGuy]

Good

[@scaredycousins]

3:30 this made me laugh, considering that toys r us just went out of business

[@SparklRebel]

Same

[@pnkflyd66]

Shrink… lol

[@VM-no3sz]

@1:25 "...known as shrink. Shrink is what you experience/sensation you get when you look at my face. Everyone experiences shrink."

[@Boomkinguyman]

It is SHRINKAGE! 🥒🥒🐔🐔🌭🌭

[@alexbabs12345]

All that Jem at 0:59 😭

[@trollingisasport]

Yeah. It's amazing.

[@princess_ama]

I love how it looks so obvious that they’re reading lines 😂

[@jmcclain8237]

The 80's. A time of big toy stores and bigger hair!

[@rapman5791]

And huge bushes 🦚

[@jmiller297]

BRUH

[@frankenoise]

I use to work at Walmart in the 90s and I'm 100% sure internal shrink was way higher than external!

[@michaelrichardson1898]

At sam's club it was both!

[@whereismyxanax]

I watched my co-workers steal all the time, also the store manager had employees put stuff in his car!

[@BayouPrincess78]

I just quit Walmart and would watch coaches hide merchandise until it was Penny out then thy buy it . Also 5 coaches at my store were fired for stealing. I worked Electronic an every month a truck of iPhone 14s would go missing Humm

[@cococock2418]

It was. Which is why they had an anonymous "rat your co worker out" hotline, where you were awarded soviet style for ratting on your friends.

[@brianheriot8394]

I worked at TRU in the 90's and the distributive shrink was at an all time high, it accounted for nearly 80% of the companies total yearly shrinkage. The amount of merch leaving the regional distributor warehouses and never getting to the actual local stores was mindboggling.

[@sushistalker2696]

Random Bag and Locker Checks? CCTV that includes register prices on the screen? What is this? The TSA?

[@jkvelasquez84]

That is crazy!

[@JustAnotherNamelessGuy]

Inspect my package you say ;)

[@kz1000ps]

Used by Toys R Us Australia but holy cow that eeaccent sounds like it came straight from Chiceaago xD

[@bartman1238]

Not Chicago sound new jersey to me

[@dataslul]

@n1238 That's a midwestern accent; not even close to Jersey. This could be Detroit or Chicago. Blonde lady with big hair has an accent from the tristate area, though.

[@broadcastmyballs]

@@dataslul The end of the video says it's from the location at Raritan New Jersey. The video in general is very New Jersey, most of the speakers have north jersey accents and look like people did in NJ at the time (especially the Puerto Rican-looking chick with big hair). HOWEVER the main woman of thew video probably was not originally from New Jersey. Her voice does have a Great Lakes Vowel Shift and so she's probably coming from an upper midwestern city, maybe from Buffalo/Western NY too.

[@MeadeSkeltonMusic]

I'm from Virginia and I feel like they have an accent up there but we don't

[@1903tx]

@@dataslul I thought it was midwest too, but according to her obituary she was born in Rochester, NY and spent much of her career in in New Jersey.

[@D_DC]

10:46 so the benefit to reducing shrink is we get to work harder.

[@Jopo1226]

That's how it usually is. I had a job that said if we drive sales we get more hours. I told them I don't want more hours. I want to earn more over more hours.

[@quequotion6862]

2:45 that's an actor. I don't know his name, but I recognize his face. Anyone else?

[@trollingisasport]

Thomas Crooze

[@IvanVelezVlogs]

6:41 Ahhh the veiled threats to employees. We employ you at the lowest wages legally possible and we want to make sure you don't steal

[@nfltrrrqwsa7512]

3:55 he's loving it.....

[@akoww1000]

10:10 so snitches get paid not just stitches :p

[@skppy1225]

3:42 Why did they tell you to notify a manager? In every retail job I worked you always contacted loss prevention first.

[@tylerthedestroyer5723]

You guys have to remember, when this was filmed, Quaaludes were still pretty popular

[@whereismyxanax]

3:51 they look like they're about to break some kneecaps

[@Phil_Melone]

Lol!!! Your right!!

[@BattleAxe1345]

Dude looked like he was going to throw down. "Nobody is going to steal from MY beloved corporate toy store chain and get away with it!".

[@fairfaxcat1312]

What we have here is a video presentation directed to employees of the toy store chain entitled, “Toys R Us.” The presentation is not necessarily intended for viewing by the general public, particularly the customer. The customer approach is to highlight the material benefits of the product and, in this postmodern world in which experience and self affirmation is key, the product’s emotional attraction. The pitch here is to the employees in order to keep them from stealing the product.

[@americanidol434]

I had the minnie and Mickey ball

[@nfltrrrqwsa7512]

1:03 "cos that would mean a higher salary.."

[@TracksideViews]

Minimum wage in 1986 was $3.35 no one was doing anything more than attendance.

[@danielferstendig]

Toysrus is returning.

[@retrofun1479]

Jeanne McIntosh apparently passed away in 2021. :(

[@nathanbush6781]

Awwww...sorry to hear that. Definitely from New Jersey for sure. She seems like good people!

[@rapman5791]

That brunette in the orange is cute AF!! Those eyebrows…..imagine that bush!! 4:49

[@GotTheBestLigma]

I'm sure it was monstrous! From belly button to butthole...

[@Tornado1994]

1989.

[@HarryHikepants]

3:51 Manager looks a little Ben Stiller ??

[@StudioZ7]

Details in the video indicate it's from the US, circa 1984. If it was used in Australia, the accents might have seemed strange.

[@benbode906]

Might be the greatest video ever made 🤣

[@IvanVelezVlogs]

9:50 rewarding employees for the termination of other employees 😂

[@JustAnotherNamelessGuy]

The SNITCH certificate.

[@Flint_Ironstagg]

[@michael-dy8tz]

Toys R us means we are all about toys.

[@brianpatrick7411]

2:10 Dave Meltzer managed the San Jose Toys R Us in the 80’s??? “**** stars”

[@smurfyx]

lol

[@mcgendraft]

Not gonna lie, the video got a little dark when she started talking about employee theft deterrent’s .

[@whereismyxanax]

3:15 Oh he's guilty alright

[@pikachuthegayatheist6215]

The last company I worked at had a whole bunch of dishonest employees “cough management” they’re out of business now and that company is known as Toys “R” Us LOL!!!

[@TuckerHopkins88]

Lol, I saw this on break room tv.. The key chain. Lego kid

[@BattleAxe1345]

3:36 Woman stole some baby toys and they look at her like she got a hold of some launch codes.

[@trollingisasport]

What's the use in getting toys for a baby that you are only going to raise as an immoral monster?

[@fairfaxcat1312]

@@trollingisasportLol.

[@BayouPrincess78]

Fast forward to 2023 toy r us is out of business

[@MattGuitarPlayer]

Dude at 3:27 with that dirty mop on his head is crying to this day about it.

[@jeffdemick8216]

She was smokin that brick weed

[@tobysgamingworld1550]

I worked retail LP over a decade covering the entire southeast. It’s an interesting job but in this current age where the average dog shit person actually thinks the thieves are the ones that are right…..I’m so glad I changed careers. Too many people confuse store policy with law. Policy is the shit she’s spouting. Law is if you concealed it you stole it and the store employee can hold you until police arrive and if you hit them it’s felony robbery. Policies are what say “don’t touch only observe” The law is different.

[@rochelle-xz8gl]

And Toys r us is now out of business

[@boyguapito1]

Jeanne is acting high AF… either that or She’s drunk.

[@josephmcconnell5869]

Her painted eyebrows make me nervous and want to hide behind large toys!! LARGE ONES!!

[@mjallen1308]

Manager: Make sure we provide EXTRA customer service to our brown customers if you know what I mean 😉

[@jasonhall3963]
