One thing I've learned working in customer service is not to argue with customers. It's one thing…read morewhen you don't provide coupons to the customers at the counter (which I think is pretty sneaky), but it's another thing when you have an associate tell a customer they are wrong about seeing it online and insist that it was an online only coupon. One associate did try to help me, but the other little clockwork orange girl argued with the customer before me and continued on with me. I know what I saw...and I was right. Maybe we should teach some customer service skills...cause it's pretty lacking. This is the coupon I was told yesterday I imagined.

Every time we visit, the space is spotless. No matter how many kids are running around, you never see a mess. It's clear how much pride they take in keeping everything clean, safe, and welcoming.

She's constantly moving, cleaning, restocking, resetting play areas, interacting with kids, helping parents, and somehow doing it all with a smile. Her work ethic is unmatched and it doesn't go unnoticed.

I took my family to do the Runaway AI themed escape room. The business is located in a strip mall,…read morebut the anchor store was a Harbor Freight that was going out of business, so nearby parking was abundant. We went on a Saturday nice. The front lobby was clean and had a no-charge foosball table you could play while waiting for your game to start, which was a nice Ent-Bite. (I am coining that here!) They also offered water bottles for sale. This will be helpful once the Arizona heat starts up in May (and ends in October). The AI room was clean and nicely decorated. We successfully escaped the room. It was fun seeing my husband and my two boys having fun. The negative - the location was understaffed. The business had just one employee working. This employee had to monitor all the rooms, which included giving clues to those in the various game rooms. He also was checking people in, taking pictures of those leaving, answering phones, and I assume also cleaning and prepping the room when people left. I get businesses wanting to increase their bottom line but they are being shortsighted when they cut corners that impact user experience. An escape room is about engaging in distraction. An understaffed escape room causes users to wait on a games master to address their questions while the clock is counting down. Our host said he added some time due to the delay. While that was nice, it would have been better to actually play the game as it should have been played so that our sense of accomplishment is not devalued. Anyway, the room was good, the theme and decoration was fine. Would I go back again, yes and no. There is nothing stopping me from going back, but if I find a business that better staffs its business, which also shows kindness to its staff, I prefer to support that business owner.
