I asked politely. She did not give me a clear answer and barely said anything before going back behind the register and looking at random items. She seemed to have an attitude the entire time based on her body language. When she returned to the register, I assumed she might be trying to find information about the display item. I ended up standing there for about five minutes waiting for a response, but nothing was said. I was not being rude, and I did not talk back. Before I opened the exit door, I simply said in a calm voice, "I don't know why you're giving me an attitude," because I was frustrated but still calm. She then looked at me and told me to "get out" aggressively and said that I did not need to mumble my words so loudly while other customers were still shopping. She also claimed she was the manager on duty. She called the store manager, or whoever was in charge, and told them I was being rude and obnoxious, which is not true. I hope they review the security cameras and any available audio so it can be clear what actually happened. I understand that working in customer service can be stressful, as I also work in customer service. However, it is not my responsibility to deal with whatever may be going on in someone's personal life or behind the scenes. I was simply there to shop. I shopped here last month, and they have my information on file. I only asked a simple question, but I never received a clear answer. I was repeatedly told, "Oh, I can't help you with that." I was confused because the last time I visited, I was able to purchase a display item of a panda. That was last month, and a different associate, a female employee, helped me. She was very kind and helpful and took her time to find the right box for it. But this current employee was an African American woman with black braided hair all black clothing about 5'4. Her tone and behavior suggested she may have been having a bad day, and I understand that. However, I also work in customer service, and I would not speak to customers that way or dismiss them when they ask questions or request to speak to a manager. I was honestly shocked, so I simply walked away. I could have said more, but I decided it wasn't worth it. This isn't the end I'm going to file a complaint... if u are a manager on duty do you talk to your employees like this? Anyway I would not shop at this location anymore...

Edit (Sep 28, 2025): I went back and they gave me a cash…read morerefund, even though I originally paid by card, which I really appreciated. That made things right on the surface, but the experience itself still left a bad impression--especially for a store that specializes in cards. Here's what happened: I went in asking for sleeves to fit standard-sized Magic: The Gathering tokens--just regular cards, but double-sided. I explained that I already had sleeves for the rest of my deck, but those had colored backs, so I specifically needed clear sleeves on both sides to show both faces of the token. I picked out clear baseball card sleeves (which are the right size for MTG), but the staff told me they wouldn't fit and pushed me toward something else. The pack they sold me turned out to be 60mm x 87mm, which is too small. That's where the frustration came from. They were more concerned about whether I was using a "gaming" sleeve vs. a "sports" sleeve for feel, but they completely missed the basic form factor--which is way more important. I would've been fine with a sports sleeve if it fit. Instead, I left with something physically incompatible with the cards I clearly described. I don't expect every store employee to be an MTG expert, but this is a card shop. Knowing the standard MTG card size (91mm x 66mm) should be a given--especially if you're giving product advice. It's frustrating because I went in expecting the kind of help you get from a local face-to-face shop, but I ended up finding the right sleeves on Amazon after getting burned in person. I want to support brick-and-mortar shops like this. But when they miss something that basic--and then misguide the customer--that's a trust issue. The refund helps, but the experience still leaves me unsure whether I'll be back.

Unfortunately the store is extremely cramped making it difficult to navigate, my husband nor I were acknowledged while in the store, and though they have a personal policy of asking customers to use masks (per sign outside) it was not being enforced. We didn't end up spending too much time in this business because of those three things. I didn't feel that those things necessarily counted them out as having decent inventory, so I did make an effort to get a good look around while inside the shop. They do have a solid stock of collectable toys so if you don't necessarily care about space or having employees attention, this spot may be worth checking out.

Great value for the selection! I'd also like to mention the fact that they have practically any old childhood toy you could desire, from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to Transformers 2007.
