We travel full time for work so the wife and I took a month or so to spend in the Joshua Tree area…read morein our off time. We decided to desert camp close to a RC track. The 1st time we visited the owner and staff were helpful, friendly, and social. They invited us for race night and said we could even use a rental car for the night since we didn't have anything for their class. Unfortunately, that whole experience felt like we just paid to be track marshals and then be rushed into races we weren't even ready for. Either way, we made the best of it and enjoyed our time together through the event. At the end of the night, the owner asked me about my experience and, being transparent, I told him the other racers were driving dirty by putting other drivers intentionally into the wall and, from my experience, I wasn't really a fan of rushing out to marshal every race while I watched regulars sit back. Over the next few days, the owner began to display a growing chip on his shoulder. At one point, I was working on my car and asked the owner if he could help me with some soldering. He said he would help but avoided my pit table for the rest of the evening and even made a snide remark to another customer about being asked to solder something for me. If it weren't for another regular there who ended up giving me a hand with the soldering, I'd probably still be waiting for the owner to come through with his commitment. We were invited for another race night after fixing our short course truck. We drove an hour trip to the track only to be told they weren't racing that class that night. So, we stayed and watched all the races to make it worth our trip. That must've upset the owner because, afterwards, we went to a local outdoor track and were told all about the local drama. Unfortunately, as visitors to the area, minding your own business isn't good enough for the owner of Coyote Hobbies because he will want to start drama with you. If you're not from the area, he will likely try to make you the scapegoat for his own drama. With how uncomfortable he made us feel over time during our stay, I'd highly recommend anyone traveling through to avoid this place if you don't care for conflict and drama. This place is known for it and has no problem making you the center of the drama they start. The owner is well-aware that he is the only race track/hobby shop in the area, and he has no problem using that monopoly to his advantage. It is people like this who turn newcomers away from the hobby, and it's clear that he really only cares about advancing his and his son's careers in the RC world. Be prepared to kiss the proverbial ring if you plan to take a trip to Coyote Hobbies.

So much has changed!…read more Overall still a great store. Get greeted most of the time. Great Christian books and inspirational books at the front. This store has a large parking lot and is in the same shopping center as PetSmart. They're also in the same neighborhood as Sprouts. They sell arts, crafts, tshirts, fabrics, sewing items, knitting and crocheting items, faux flowers, gifts, licensed items like Minecraft, Super Mario, some anime and more, they sell seasonal decorations based on the season (Christmas, Autumn, Summer, Spring, etc) they have birthday items, household items, resin, resin molds, earrings and earring making kits, and so much more. It's a nice store but can get hectic (with long lines) during the holidays. Overall the cashiers and employees seem friendly.

I explained my project and he seemed disinterested in the idea and gave short one word answered and walked away. Seemed to care more about sorting rocket engines and helping a customer who was looking at a new rc car than myself or my son. Went to ask someone else for help. Aiden listened to our ideas and we needed. He went to work to provide us with the materials we needed and was very kind to myself and my son Aiden single handedly saved our experience. From my observations the black polo shirt gentleman seemed to be management - where I think Aiden would have been a better manager. Hobby stores are hard to come by these days and this experience could have easily converted me to seek guidance online, however Aiden changed this. Please go to this store for Aiden.

I drove about 30 minutes out to HobbyTown Corona specifically because I was told yesterday that the…read more"Squeezy's" would be available today after 4 PM once they were scanned into the system and put out. I rearranged my schedule and made time to come back based on what your staff told me. When I arrived today, I was told they still weren't out yet. When I asked if there was anything they could do since I was specifically instructed to come back at that time, the employee at the front basically acted indifferent and just said there was nothing they could do. I've been in retail for years, and entering inventory into a system is not some massive impossible task. This honestly came across as laziness and a complete lack of concern for customer satisfaction. Don't tell customers to come back at a specific time if you're not actually prepared to follow through. Traffic and gas prices in Southern California are terrible. People are spending real time and money to come support your business, so at least be considerate of that when making promises to customers. I understand inventory processing takes time, but communication and effort matter. A simple apology or attempt to help would have gone a long way. The store is large and packed with product, but there also weren't many customers there, which makes the lack of urgency even more frustrating. The owner should seriously consider improving management and customer service standards because experiences like this are exactly why customers stop coming back.

I wanted to get my boyfriend some MTG cards for his birthday, so I headed to this local game shop…read morebecause a family friend and his wife owned the place. I figured if anywhere would be welcoming and helpful--especially to someone new--it would be there. I was wrong. I walked in and stood there for several minutes while the staff ignored me completely. They weren't busy with other customers; they were just chatting with their friends. Eventually, an employee came over and passed me off to Nick. I explained I was new and needed some help, but from the get, he was unfriendly and dismissive. I tried asking questions, but he barely answered, acted annoyed by my lack of knowledge, and gave me these disdainful looks like I was wasting his time. It got worse. He finally said, "You should probably leave and come back with someone who actually knows what they're talking about." My jaw dropped. I asked if he was seriously telling me to go. He backpedaled a bit--"You don't have to, but it'd be better if you did, since you really don't know anything"--So I left, feeling humiliated and frustrated. Thankfully, I went to Sevens Goods and The Paladin's Rest instead, and it was the complete opposite-- staff was genuinely kind and patient and not for one second did he make me feel stupid. We've been going back ever since for buying, trading, whatever. My boyfriend says the prices are fairer there too, and the whole vibe is just so much more welcoming. In the end, it worked out--thanks to Nick, I found a better spot. But I still feel bad for the owners. I can't imagine Rudy would be happy knowing how the staff treat people like that. Its pretty sad. To responder: Im not sure who replied since Rudy passed. My dad passed last year and really respected Rudy. The incident happened in January. Your staff is certainly capable. It took me a long time to decide to post, but was talking with someone who had a similar experience and decided that I needed to. I don't like to say negative things about small businesses, but this was something I've never experienced. There is a thing happening with staff thumbing their nose at people. I wasn't rude. I was respectful and asked for help. Its nuts that I would be told to come back with someone who knew what they were talking about. The very reason I came to the store was to talk to an expert, not to be treated like they didn't want to waste their time on me. Even after, I just simply left. I didn't even know what to say. It just sucked because I didn't expect it and customers certainly don't deserve it.
