I tell you what, they recognize me when I got into Toy's R Us. People say
to me, "Your the Lego guy, huh?" Places like Target will never recognize
you and most places Tom and I would go into, we clean out or buy nothing at
all (I'm guessing it is like that with you, too, Tom). Not much repeat
business there, unless once/twice per year is what they consider a repeat
customer.
