Why Toys R Us might be annoying:

Their old name was Childrens Supermart.
Their new name has terrible grammar.
Their toys are mostly made in China and there have been issues with lead paint being used in the manufacturing process.
Despite their business being toys, they are dwarfed by Walmart's toy sales.
Their employment doubles during the holidays, only for those workers to be laid off afterwords.
Their jingle. You don't wanna grow up? You're a Toys R Us kid? Too bad. Get a job hippie.

Why Toys R Us might not be annoying:

They experiment with solar power.
They give to Toys for Tots.
Kids love them and their stupid giraffe mascot.
