What should you discuss after Preston’s abandoned-toy shopping competition?
Tell your kid not to move store merchandise for a game: Preston’s abandoned-toy challenge includes asking someone to relocate products. In one part, a participant asks another person to put products in random store areas so they can qualify for the challenge. Give your kid a clear rule: do not move merchandise for a joke, video, or game. Leave a misplaced product where it is or tell a store employee.
Watch at 23:28The video also makes a large checkout total part of the competition. A participant says they were told not to spend more than $2,500, then reports spending $986; the final round requires the loser to return the purchases in person. Mild insults and exclamations also appear during the shopping. Explain that this is a contest setup in the video, not a model for ordinary shopping, spending, or store conduct.
