Toys R Us Out of Biz, any JB Hunt drivers effected?

Shopping is certainly getting different ...they recently tore down a mall in suburban Kansas city that was barely 20 years old .
Many more look deserted .

 

Amazon and Walmart ran them all off.

 

I guess everyone would rather just stay home and wait for the product to come to them. All these big box stores getting shuttered won't have much of an effect on the distribution centers though. Warehouse personnel will stay busy, and those of us driving the junk around will continue to do so. Until the scary, horrifying, driverless trucks come to take over. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

I worked there for a few years between and during full time jobs. management were nice people, but had no common sense. I did back room stuff and bike assembly. They would get soo much product in there would be no space on the shelves in the back, and if the product was put away in back it only came out if a customer asked for it. They were definitely overpriced, even with the 10% employe discount. my first black friday their they were slammed, the next two it was pitiful. And considering their only competition in my area is kmart, that's said. We don't even have a Wally world, closest one is about 45mins away

 

That YT channel is pretty good. Dan Bell, Retail Archaeology and Ace's Adventure's cover these dying stores from the beginning of the end, all the way up to months after they were shuttered.

 

Need a mall to study? Fairgrounds square mall in Reading, PA. Built on the former reading race track for sprint derby cars. The mall was hopping a decade ago, now its a deserted wasteland. Maybe 2 or 3 stores in the whole place.
