And for my final soap box moment of CMas shopping at big box stores..b/w the expensive of the toy tied in with the fact that it was made in a sweat shop in China for $1.00 or the cheap ones that look like they will break 5 mins after a child starts to play with it....the lovely customer service of standing in a line & getting to the register to pay & the cashier doesn't even acknowledge your existence, even when you say hello...
Now, I worked customer service for years along with waitressing & had my good & bad days...so, I have a tendency to look the other ways more times than not...but, to hear "$78" in a mumble as she is looking at a text message on her phone....I was ready to lose a few marbles
Yes, as does areas of WalMart & Toys R Us...actually, we saw same toy...one blue & one pink. Saw a pink lawnmower for pete's sake...
My son enjoys watching Dora here & there. He wanted to see the Dora toys one day. That entire row at Target was girls. It caught my attention.
And if any of you want a fun outdoor toy made that does hold up ok & is fairly priced...the bubble lawnmower...my son wanted to take it outside this morning to help his daddy shovel the driveway
