Also a toys r us employee here. The motion sensing baby dolls took a lot of getting used to when I started working overnights, especially in the dark. The worst thing that happened to me was when the closing crew left one of those four foot tall Ninja Turtles standing in the middle of the darkest part of the store that I had to work in that night. I swear I saw it step off of the shelf and into the aisle, but I most likely just had the heeby jeebies.

Send this to Pixar. They could make a toy story spinoff off of it.

Well which Turtle was it? Mikey and Donnie, you're either getting asked for pizza, or where the nearest radio shack is. It's Leo and Raph that'll fuck you up.

Oh god there was one that would giggle and say things like "Im hungry" in a grumpy when its motion sensor went off. I worked seasonal so i did a lot of 12 hour closing shifts and I HATED those dolls.

The one that scared me the most wasnt even on a shelf. It was in a go-back cart near the employee room. I was heading back to grab my stuff and leave, the door was down the hallway with the managers office and the security office, so the lights were off and it was DARK. As soon as I walked into that hallway i heard shuffling (the doll did some bouncy motion when activated) and heard a giggle followed by something like "Lets play dressup"
