There was only one cashier at the time of check out due to another employee being on break. -understandable- The layout of this location is interesting. It feels like they took inspiration from their north county location which specialize in party supplies. This location has a huge selection of party goods; also some of their more purchased items like affordable toiletries and movie snacks. I like the straightforward feel of the aisles; it is clean and organized. The Grand Avenue location in Arroyo Grande differs. They have craft supplies. Definitely on trend--as it's currently showcasing fall decor, pumpkins, and autumn leaves. It's July. They also have quite the selection of cold food. Because it's hot. I don't shop there for those types of items but I thought it important to share for those that are interested.

Jump forward a few weeks and the same manager did not help, even with a line of 6 customers waiting. There was only one cashier open and they were helping a guest with a huge cart full of items. I asked if they were going to open another register since there were many customers waiting. The same manager said * I can see there are people waiting * A few minutes later she put another cashier on duty and walked away. By then there were 10 or 12 people waiting in line.

You may love their stuff but most likely they are not trained and the chances of you getting all your stuff you buy are slim. Even after today they kept one of my hair bands. I wait 45 min for them to figure out how many errors they made even in my favor, If i was the owner I would be really watching inventory. I did not say good bye because i had to drive back from slo and with so many mistakes I will never go back again. I rather pay amazon or ebay.

(1 star -- and that's generous)…read more Let me save you 30+ minutes of your life and the humiliation that follows. We spent a good half hour browsing this store. My little one chose a game, which was paid for at checkout so he could open and enjoy it while I continued shopping. Simple enough, right? Wrong. The game was broken. Straight out of the package. Not dropped, not mishandled -- broken on purchase. Here's where it gets truly unhinged. We returned to the register with the game and its broken pieces only to be informed that Daiso has a strict NO returns, NO exchanges, NO refunds policy -- and that this policy applies even to items that are defective or broken out of the box. I pointed out that when a customer makes a purchase, there is a reasonable and legally implied expectation that the product is whole and in working condition. This is not an opinion -- it's basic consumer law. While the checker agreed before the manager came to assist, the manager disagreed. Loudly. The manager eventually relented and agreed to issued a refund -- but not before the manager pulled what can only be described as a petty power move: she/he demanded I verbally agree to DAISO's terms and state aloud that I would NEVER request a return or refund again and asked whether I UNDERSTOOD! This happened in front of other customers in line at check out and directly behind us as a condition of receiving money back for THEIR defective product. I'm sorry -- what?? I put back every other item I had planned to purchase, walked out, and I'm now writing this review instead of spending more money there. Consumers, take note and pass this on: Daiso's policy essentially means you are buying everything AS-IS with zero recourse, including items that don't work the moment you open them. That is not a bargain -- that is a gamble. And when you lose, don't expect dignity on the way out. "Overpriced cheap junk" is being polite. Pair that with management that demeans customers at the price of a refund, and you have a store that deserves to lose every dollar it would have made from loyal shoppers. Shop here at your own risk. You've been warned.

The employee in the mobility scooter who believe is named Athena continuously harassed an unhoused man who was trying to shop. She followed him through the store and accused him of shoplifting even though he very vocally said many times that he was trying to shop and would be paying for his items. It was an extremely off putting situation that was wholly caused by this employee and even made us feel unwelcome. I don't shop in a store that treats vulnerable people with such hostility.

A shame. The staff are incompetent. The amount of MISPRICED, MISLABELED, and UNLABELED merchandise is appalling. The amount of times the staff member at the checkout is unable to scan an item because it doesn't show up is surprising. They ask "do you know the price on this? You can't buy it if it doesn't show up in our system" as if it's the shopper's fault. Then they have to run to find out, holding up the ONE line (since they can't manage to do more). The store layout is poor. The employees always forget to move baskets back from under the registers to the front door. The "manager" is mean. I love GO, so I wish this location lived up to the expectations. I'm sure GO corporate would make big changes if they visited this location.

"Hi i was just checking if you guys were open today?" she responded with "mmhmm" and straight up hung up on me. I went anyway because i was in the area and live out of town. When I went into the store neither employee greeted me and the store had racks everywhere you could barely get around , I've never seen it such a mess in all the years I have shopped here. I stood at the register for over 5 minutes and was being ignored I finally yelled out "can I please be helped?" The employee walked over to me totally annoyed and said "what do you need help with?" I told her i needed to exchange for a smaller size and she said "well did you want to find the items?" I said " you don't have them which is why I would like to order them" she was so rude and unhelpful. I came in to exchange item from a previous in store purchase my sales person was chaz they were extremely helpful and their customer service was amazing. I asked the employee if we could order online because i used $80 of rewards and my torrid cash. When ordering she said i had to pay more because it's online , I've shopped at many other locations and know that it can be overridden. She refused to do it so I said then I will just return everything then Im not gonna pay more for what I already purchased. I lost out on money because of the rewards i used but i don't even care I will never spend another dime at this location which is unfortunate because it's the only location in this area so I probably will never shop this brand again. Once i did the return and went to my car i checked to receipt and guess who the employee was? Deborah. She is the blondish one with glasses and short hair very rude. I've been in here before where she was trash talking other employees and the district manager she obviously hates her job and her whole attitude shows it. Makes it so unpleasant for customers , I've never met someone in customer service who is so rude.
