Toys R Us and their extended warrantee policy
December 26 2009, 3:25 PM
I go to Toys R Us alot. Mostly window shopping with my 7 year old. He gets
things like candy and small toys there, so i get to hear the relentless
promoting of the staff selling their extended warrantee to people. I am sure this is good business for that company, but the way they push it
really irks me. I have seen them push it for everything, even toys with a 1
year warrantee on the box! Plus i have seen it sold for toys that, frankly,
i would be surprised a child will be playing with much in a month and and a
half, never mind breaking it and wanting it replaced. I have also observed
that the people who do buy it have trouble speaking English and i wondered
if they even realize they know what they are buying. Tonight i was there and the clerk was trying to sell it to me a PS3 game.
When i told him i didn't want it and i didn't want to hear the spiel, he
still insisted on trying to promote the virtues of this. For. 30 dollar
game that costs of a CD!!
I think the way they push this service at Toys R Us is odious. Whenever i
have a chance to take my business elsewhere i will. I hope you do too.
