I'm waiting for a call from party city's corporate office, if I receive one, I may or may not change my review.
This weekend is my sons first birthday party. I wanted to order balloons tonight, so that I didn't have to worry about it before the party. I went into the store, and the kid behind the counter was- I kid you not- tossing a balloon around. He was so into tossing this balloon around that I literally had to say 'excuse me' to get his attention. I asked him if I was able to order balloons. He said yes. I said 'how' and he looked at me like I was crazy. I told him I wanted to order a bunch of latex balloons for my kids party and asked if I just pick out balloons in the isle. He said 'yes'. I TOOK 20 MINUTES OF MY TIME TO PICK OUT ALL THESE DIFFERENT COLOR BALLOONS. I go up to the counter to check out, and a different kid is working a register because they suddenly got busy. I said to the guy, 'hey, I need to have these balloons filled for a party on Saturday' he then explains to me about the $1 per balloon filling charge and tells me that I should really pick single balloons that hey have sitting up front so that I don't get charged a lot.............are you kidding me?!?!???! Meanwhile...I have my sleepy son in the cart, and I need to leave. I told him I was never told about this and he just stares at me. I had to leave so my head didn't explode. I tried to look around the store for someone to tell about my experience, but apparently these two were the only guys working. Fantastic. Hopefully everyone has a better experience than me! read more
