My little brother was playing with one of the Labubu hair products when an employee came up to him and said, "You've had enough fun. Let's not ruin the product." We understood and immediately stopped. After that, though, the employee kept following us around the store, which made us feel very uncomfortable. My brother eventually said, "You don't need to follow us around." The employee then mumbled, "Why don't you shut the f**k up." When my brother asked him what he said, the employee denied it and claimed he was just doing his job. He then asked where our parents were. I called my parents over, and as soon as they arrived, the employee ran into the employee room. When my parents asked about him, another employee claimed she didn't know who we were talking about. This was strange because we had just seen the two employees talking before he went into the back. Another customer who overheard the conversation said they only heard the employee tell my brother not to mess with the products, but that wasn't the issue. The problem was that he followed us around the store and, from what we heard, cursed at my younger brother. I don't know whether he was profiling us, being discriminatory, or simply being rude, but his behavior was completely unprofessional. There was no reason to follow us around the store or speak to a child that way. Customer service like this is unacceptable. For reference, the employee was an older man with a brown beard. Unfortunately, I didn't catch his name.

We ended up ordering one of the classic smash burgers and one of the spicy jalapeño burgers. Both exceeded our expectations and really couldn't have asked for anything more. We will be back.

The burger patty was also left thick and not as smashed. I felt that this burger could be much more elevated with a thousand island sauce. The tater tots were really crispy and had a nice sauce! For $30+ for two burgers it's a little bit on the pricey end and I just felt it didn't hit the mark. But still a pretty decent tasting burger!

The better half and I have passed by the Pop-Up Disney! several times since it opened in April, but…read morethis past Saturday Laina wanted to look at the store merchandise which unlike the Pop-Up costs you nothing to enter. My stepdaughter Erica loves Pop-Ups and Disney, but if she is unwilling to pay the $30.00 entrance fee it speaks volumes about the pop-up, but the you can enter the store for free. The store ( https://bit.ly/2ZgBgqM ), like the Pop-Up is all about the Mouse, but unlike the Pop-Up there is an equal amount of merchandise dedicated to the Disney Mouse without a Y-chromosome. Just to the right of the entrance is a display of Mouse Ears ( https://bit.ly/2YsQ9ZU ) from the opening day of all six parks. To the left of the entrance, there are several exclusive items ( https://bit.ly/2JYtL2w ) from the artists working at the Wonderground Gallery in Downtown Disney. We were warmly greeted upon entering the store and the cast members were able answer our questions with relative easy. As we worked our way through the store, my lovely wife found a t-shirt ( https://bit.ly/2LMdn7f ) she was interested in which is a bit of a rarity since her favorite character is Donald Duck and Disney doesn't carry a large amount of merchandise with the likeness of Disney's favorite fowl. If there had been a churro on the t-shirt, it would have been perfect, but even without the churro it was worth the $34.99 purchase price. Laina also purchased a recyclable bag ( https://bit.ly/2yhOVC9 ) at $1.50 which is a really good deal (for Disney) and the bags are located behind the sales counter. Passholders will get the appropriate discount (20 percent off with my Signature Plus Pass) here, so don't forget to show your pass at the time of purchase. Just to the left of the sales counter ( https://bit.ly/30V4iMW ), there are some ears which you can get a Pop-Up Disney! patch embroidered on, a stuffed Mickey toy, an exclusive t-shirt and some Mickey Ears Beats Headphones. There is a Pop-Up Disney M-I-C-K-E-Y pin series to be had and on August the 1st the shop will be selling the limited edition (2000) fourth letter ("K") pin for A Mickey Celebration. The "K" pin will retail for $16.99 and feature Sorcerer Mickey waving a wand. Continuing to tour the store, I found a really loud sweater and hat ( https://bit.ly/2Yrchj2 ) on display. These items were so bright even a blind gay man would say, "Oh dear Christ! Those are loud! This is not Carnival." The only advantage of wearing clothing like this is if you ever get lost, the astronauts on the international space station will be able to spot you! This kind of clothing makes GPS tracking obsolete. Minnie Mouse is well represented here with both traditional ( https://bit.ly/2YtmlfG ) and exclusive ( https://bit.ly/2Ycu4iY ) items for sale in the store. I thought the tutti-frutti lollipop and donut Minnie ears were particularly cute and unique. In addition to the t-shirt Laina purchased, there was several other sweet themed t-shirts, magnets and key chains with another area with more traditional Mickey items. The display neared to the entrance of the pop-up contained some really cool Mickey Birthday Ears ( https://bit.ly/2GtyFT1 ), Mickey Popcorn Buckets with some banana and raspberry flavored kettle corn and Pop-Up Disney! Tumblers. I thought the Mickey Birthday Ears were really nice looking, but they would have been even been better if they had lit up. The last display ( https://bit.ly/2GyPzQa ) we looked at had Trutti-Frutti Mickey Lollipops, Mickey Crisped Rice Cereal Treats, more Mickey Popcorn Buckets and Caramel and Kettle Corn Popcorn bags. The only problem with these treats is every time I see them on the floor I think back to a scene from Conan the Barbarian where Conan is eating some meat on a stick: Conan: It's good. Subotai: We don't know how long it was there. Rohlinism: If you have to guess about how long a food item has been on display, I guess you shouldn't eat it! If you are a fan of Disney and Mickey and Minnie in particular, the store offers some unique items for a limited time because the Pop-Up! Disney store will be closing its doors on the 2nd of September.

Good sourdough bread usually requires a bit of a drive, but the Small Axe Bread popups are really…read moreconvenient. Both the Garden Grove (on Main St. across from Costco) and Tustin locations have easy and ample parking. Their sourdough bread has a prominent tanginess and the flavors are easily distinguishable. I've tried the miso onion, cinnamon golden raisin, buckwheat sesame, asiago and calabrian chili. The savory ones are a tad too salty, but they pair well with unsalted butter. Miso onion had the most soft and pillowy texture, by far; it's our favorite. The asiago and calabrian chili had a nice kick and a fair amount of cheese. Cinnamon golden raisin was the most dense, and had plenty of raisins but the cinnamon didn't come through. Buckwheat sesame is a nice classic. Their stall is small and quaint. Sliced half loaves and sandwich breads are available. They also offer sourdough chocolate chip cookies and sourdough cinnamon rolls, but the prices are pretty steep at $8 and $10 each. I'd recommend this place to restock your weekly bread!

ENVIRONMENT Several local and surrounding area vendors set up their own canopies and tables on the concreted area next to St. Marks Episcopal School. It's completely outdoors in a nice area of the 90241 zip code. When they aren't making announcements, they have fun music on the stereo. SERVICE Most of the vendors are very friendly. THE GOODS Each time I see such a wide variety of products and items for sale including clothes, jewelry, baked goods, fruit juices, jerky, candy, plants, candles, aguachile, street tacos, coffee & tea, mask chains, hair accessories, skin treatments, and much more. MY FAVORITE PART... Supporting the locals especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. These people are doing this as their hobbies, but also for the extra income... please support them if at all possible! NOT SO FAVORITE PART... I like to know how much items are clearly and quickly. PARKING Free street parking or the Our Lady of Perpetual Help School lot has free spaces across the street. TIPS + While admission is free, patrons are not allowed in without a mask during COVID-19 pandemic restrictions. + They often have raffles later in the afternoon.
