Toys r Us coming to St. John?

Joblogo Not likely, you would think.

But for the past couple weeks on the Monster.,com employment Web site, there’s been a “Store Manager” listing for Toys r Us/Babies r Us with the location given as US-VI-St. John.  The ad says the successful candidate should have five years retail experience and will be “Responsible for creating a supportive culture where there is a partnership commitment among the team.”

The News of St. John reader who alerted the Inquiring Iguana to this item commented, “Hmmm, typo or has the recent villa boom called for this store on island? :)”

Here’s a link to the ad: http://jobview.monster.com/GetJob.aspx?JobID=70574047&JobTitle=Store+Manager&lid=51&lid=1381&brd=1&cy=us&vw=b&AVSDM=2008-04-07+16%3a40%3a00&pg=1&seq=6

I say apply for and get the job as advertised -- spend an hour looking for the non-existent workplace before you go to the beach - collect your checks- and enjoy some time on St J.

PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN! I HAVE TO SAY IF IT DOES, I WON'T BE RETURNING TO ST. JOHN. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN LOVING ST. JOHN FOR 25 YEARS, AND I HAVE TO SAY THIS WOULD BE A DISASTER!!!

Please say it's not so. I'm compelled to start looking for a different spot of paradise and it makes me sad.
