Toys R Us

[ogr1]

A biker in Dundee visited his local Toy store only to be told that he cannot take his helmet inside the store?
Why?.....Cause some misguided management ars'ole has deemed that bikers helmets could be used for.......................



Wait for it.....................STEALING! WTF!!!!!

The staff in Dundee said it was a nationwide policy, but could not explain why?
An official spokesman for "Toys R Us" said the policy was an extension of a non shopping bag policy intended to tackle theft. It has been the stores policy since the first store opened 21 years ago, which asked customers to hand in their personal shopping bags.

So remember fellow bikers, that's not a helmet you wear when out riding!
It's a slippery decline into the dark underworld where crash helmets
have another meaning...................

or maybe it's just a shopping bag?

I remember being told not to put plastic bags over my head as a child, does this mean I shouldn't wear my helmet anymore?

Some fat maori kid (security gaurd) at coutdown who no doubt earns less than I do pulled me up once because he saw me putting some icecream into my helmet.

what he failed to notice was me going to the checkout and paying for everything (inc the icecream). he then stops me at the door and makes me wait for longer than i wanted to until his lazy slut of a manager could be bothered hauling her fat ass to the front door...

I've now decided that if it happens again I will ask If I can lay a complaint.

sheesh, i always use my lid for a carry bag, cos they charge for bags at pak n slave. what a load of bs!

Simple, keep yer helmet on while in the shop!
You cannot put stuff in it to steal, but I wonder what their "policy" is about THAT!!!

[GR81]

it sucks but probably a fair call. they may have been stung before by it. who knows!

It's Dundee for fucks sake. Every cunt up there is a thief.

They shouldn't let anyone in the shop.

Well I think that is a little on the ridiculous side
If they are not allowing people in with helmets in the store, do they also stop

1. Mothers with prams (prams are used for shoplifitng more than anything else I have come across)

2. Mobility Scooters

3. Handbags

etc etc etc

Crazy I tell you.
I would rather them carry one into my store than come in wearing one, after the armed robberies that have been going on!!

Ive been into a few shops around auckland with my helmet on and no one seemed to complain...
