[edit] Other Lawsuits
I don't recall the exact facts, but I know that KB got sued for their "fake markdowns" -- almost all items in the store would have a pre-printed price sticker, with that price then crossed out in red and a new price marked. This made it seem as if the item was on discount, thereby making it more appealing to the customer. The problem with this, however, is that the item was never at the original price. Ironically, even with the fake discount, toys at KB are almost always more expensive than the SRP used at other locations. JPG-GR 03:34, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
- I have to disagree, the few KBs I've been to had ridiculously low prices, perpetually in a 'closeout sale' or something similar.

Can someone do something about that large chunck of text talking about KB's finanical troubles? It's awful.
[edit] From An Employee's Point of View
I've worked for KB as a sales associate for a couple of years now, and I have never seen these "Fake Markdowns". Sometimes an item's markdown may seem strange, if the price is changed many times, then the "was" price is always listed as the price of the item when it first entered the system..
