I'll never forget the security cage and the magical pimple-faced losers that had the awesome responsibility of exchanging a worthless piece of paper for a shiny new NES/SNES game.
Thanks, I was one of those "pimple-faced losers"
So I posted an event on Facebook... the "Toys R Us Salem Store 7523 Going Out of Business Reunion!" and simply said:
"Hey there former employees.... let’s get together and have a reunion of sorts at our old place of employment before it's too late. With the impending news of Toys R Us going out of business some of us are feeling a bit nostalgic.... so let’s all meet up and take a group picture in front of the place! Invite others who we worked with as well!
I'm still in touch with 10 people I worked with in my 4 years working there, and Invited all 10 of them. By the next morning they had invited friends who invited friends and we had over 100 people invited.
We all met up Friday night, and over 100 people showed up! A local newspaper and the news showed up too.... and the store sent someone out dressed as Geoffrey too!
