I live an hour away and occasionally stop by this shop when I'm in Beaumont. I've never had a bad…read moreexperience until yesterday. The lady that works the front tried to accuse me of not paying for some books literally less than a minute after paying her. Never stole anything in my life and spent quite a bit of my hard earned money on comics and citadel paints from here over the years. Being treated like a thief in front of other customers and lack of apology just doesn't sit well with me. Definitely not going back!

I continuously return to this store and experience a fantastic time every time I go. The store is…read morealways clean, well stocked with hundreds of hidden gems, RPG books, models, and boardgames that are out of print and very hard to find. They have some of the best stock in the state and the friendliest attitudes of any game/comic hobby shop in Texas. I have a very good friend who was affected by the recent flooding in East Texas and he recount this story to me: "Friday night I went to Book Stan, no big deal now since I am staying in Beaumont/Nederland for the moment. Miss Beverly knew I had lost 99% of my books and cards and some of my miniatures had been stepped on because they floated around the house. And the Friday before she told me to stick around and offered me a discount on the books I felt like replacing....being soft hearted as I am I cried and she gave me a hug and told me she was going to help me. I came in Friday and looked on the new stuff shelf like I always do, and when I got to the counter, I started to ask her for 2 of the books I had set aside to buy. She said I got 2 problems, first the discount I told you last week, Terry said it wasn't good enough and doubled it. And second I talked to Games-Workshop and they have given you money to help replace your books and the miniatures you lost....." I hear stories like this from all of my friends that go to Book Stan, its a fantastic hidden gem of nerdery in East Texas, the only problem I have is its so far away that I can't make it a daily trip.

I am usually pretty forgiving with local businesses but I was rubbed very wrong yesterday. I slept…read moreon this so I wouldn't be doing this without thought. I went in at 5:45 pm, a fairly busy time for them, and they tried to stop me from going into the humidor because they were making a video. Who wants to keep paying customers from the money maker of your business? Are videos, which should be shot in slower hours or outside of business hours, making you enough money to cut customers from the cigars? This is horrible business practice and not very customer oriented behavior. I shopped here to support local business but I'm in Houston enough that all my business will be done over there from now on. This shop should really reevaluate how they stay open and place that as their number one priority.

I asked to speak to a manager being I had a very big event to attend for my daughter it was a very special day for her. I went to grab what she wanted and rushed to her bithday dinner. Needless to say last month we were buying my birthday gift and we were told an ID would be fine (we normally facetime and it was fine) but not this time. I even had multiple other items that I had planned on buying as well. I got a very unprofessional email from the manager which I will not speak on. She said everything I needed to hear and expressed about the prior workers who did not follow protocol. My child did not receive what she wanted. Which is okay we went straight to Kendra Scott's website and also got an extra discount and we will be ordering from them directly. I like supporting small businesses, but again this is why unfortunately a lot of people are not and are ordering online. Good riddance, and thank you again for putting the classless email I have with everything you stated. WE WON'T BE BACK.

I have the receipt and wasn't allowed to return it for ANY kind of refund OR store credit today. So, now if the top doesn't fit, the person can't return it either. $62 top It has to be within 14 days. It's the holidays man, people start shopping in November for Christmas. They have it extended if you bought something after Thanksgiving but, that doesn't help me. I HAVE THE RECEIPT. THE TAGS ARE STILL ON IT. total crap Of course being Christmas Eve, the manager or owner aren't working today in either store. I left a message with Abbey in nederland for one of them to call me back but, it won't be before Monday, meanwhile I return home to Galveston Monday I don't return much, hardly ever so THIS customer is NOT happy MUST READ SMALL PRINT

However this time, the punk behind the counter was a complete ass. He told me that they don't allow backpacks (my laptop bag) in the store. This is understandable so I ask if I can give it to him to set behind the counter while I shop. He says no and that I need to put it in my car. This wouldn't have been a huge issue other than the fact that it had started to rain just a few minutes prior. I put my bag in my car and left. My business will go to a store where customers are treated with a least a little dignity. I'm not trying to steal from you, I wanted to give you money.
