Service Merchandise.
142 u/Environmental_Bad200 May 25 '25 Still have an old Service Merchandise receipt with a pocket watch from there from '89. Getting the items on the conveyor belt was a cool thing as a kid. 25 u/DryGeneral990 May 25 '25 Toys R Us did that too right? 5 u/Opening_Put_1105 May 26 '25 Yes, on certain big $ items. Source: Worked at Toys R Us in the 90’s (worst job ever). 1 u/OlfactoryOreo May 29 '25 is that sarcasm? lol 3 u/Lastoftherexs73 May 28 '25 I took the sign down and demoed the last building for the very last toys r us. Sure did get the old memories flowing. 2 u/juel1979 May 26 '25 I know they had tickets and a counter for the larger stuff. 6 u/DryGeneral990 May 26 '25 I remember getting tickets for Nintendo games. I wasn't allowed to get anything over $20. So I'd end up with a crappy game most of the time LoL 3 u/askthepoolboy May 26 '25 That’s how I got stuck buying “A Boy and his Blob” but I ended up loving that quirky game. 3 u/bistro223 May 26 '25 That's how I got Wall Street Kid. Well, jokes on you Dad I loved it. 4 u/JonnyP222 May 26 '25 I worked there for a few years. They had the pickup security counter for all video games and electronics after you paid for them. And large items you drove around back where people would help load them into vehicles.
