    Floor ceiling games
    Diana B.

    Stop by in here with hubby to take a look at what they had to offer. They definitely have one wall floor to ceiling of all the different variety of games old or new. They also have a lot of games there for sale second use games for sale and a lot of different puzzles. Apparently they used to run game nights where you can borrow a game and play the game there. Shop owner was nice enough to answer any questions you had. There's a lot to take in, make sure you look up and down and in the corners to catch everything. They have a maximum of seven people allowed in the store right now. Make sure to pop by and check them out.

    Lots of room for activities.

    The Game Getaway is a cute little store that reminds me in a good way of a used book store. The place is packed with an incredible variety of games ranging from simply board games to tabletop miniatures. There are three tables for gaming in the store, and I visited on a Tuesday evening at 6pm to play X-Wing. There is a large wall of opened games that you can play as well for a small fee in case you want to try them out or just hang out there.

    What a great shop! Every game I asked for he had!

    Poor selection and the owner Ron Petersen is extremely condescending and rude. You can find games cheaper online.

    Good selection of games to buy and play. And the owner is kind enough to bring a selection of games to play at The Fat Rabbit

    Today was my first time and here, and no store (or anything, for that matter) has ever made me miss…read morethe 90s more than the time I spent in here. Everyplace I walked, there was a blend of past and present. PlayStation 4 & 5 games, alongside rows of nostalgia that ranged in clothes, toys, accessories, movies, you name it. This store embodies 90s pop culture, and not the hip hop side, but more the alternative (which is what I felt more represented me). I found a dvd I've been looking for months, in just a matter of minutes. The movies are all alphabetized, yo! It's like a thrift store, but so much more. If you were a child of the 80s that lived through the 90s, you will probably appreciate this place . My dvd was only $1.99!

    While hanging out in Folsom the other day, my husband and I decided to visit The Cave to see if we…read morecould expand our growing Funko Pop collection. I really liked that the Folsom location had a way bigger selection of Funko Pops than the Arden location. There is so much stuff to look through in general at this location, since it's roomier. I specifically scoured the shelves for some Funko Pops to take home, and came across the cutest Jurassic World one (shown below) that I just needed to buy. I also discovered a beautiful Elvis Funko, but that one I decided to hold off on for now. My husband bought a Mewtwo Funko as well (not shown). Most of the Funkos were in really good condition. There was a Stranger Things Funko that I really wanted but alas the previous owner had damaged the box. From a collector's standpoint, the prices are fair. Of course this location had other collectibles and items for sale, such as clothes, records, and whatnot. I've got plenty of records at home and only want to purchase very specific records these days, so I didn't really bother to look in their record aisles. The staff were friendly and chill. I will definitely return to check for more Funko Pops in the near future!

    Sometimes being Yelp Elite means addressing concerns no one else wants to talk about, out in the…read moreopen. That's why I'm here to ask the management of this Target location: is a man in charge of ordering your tampons? That was a rhetorical question. I can tell that a man is in charge of ordering your tampons. I literally drove out of my way to get to Target, cause it's like, out of all the places a woman would expect to be able to find a decent variety of tampons, Target is super high on the list. I couldn't believe that this Target ONLY carries multipacks with different sizes. What is this, costco? Did you think you could buy a normal sized box of regular Kotex or Playtex? No, not unless you are stocking your bathroom for an entire sorority. They literally only have multipacks with varying sizes. Let me break this down for you, Target. As a mother and nursing school dropout. A woman chooses tampons based on the size of her anatomy, not the velocity of her flow. My anatomy isn't regular on Monday and super on Tuesday, if you catch my drift. It's the same size all the time. I thought-- didn't I see a CVS in this parking lot? Turns out that it was ostensibly part of the Target. So between Target and CVS, they didn't have any normal boxes of tampons. I can't believe I had to go to the grocery store to find the correct box of tampons. (They had them at Nugget across the way.)

    This Target in EDH has continued to go downhill. The hubster and I came in today to pick up some…read moreAirPods. No one was in the tech section. Shocker. So we pushed the "we need help" button. Again and again and again. After ten minutes of waiting, I had the hubster wait in the tech area and I went off in search of an employee for assistance. That took some effort as well. Eventually I found one, near the front of the store. She apologized and got on her radio to have someone help us. We waited another five minutes. All the while continuing to press the "We Need Help" button. A second round of search for an employee, this time send a manager to tech please. Finally a tech-looking guy showed up and helped the hubster and a supposed "team leader" showed up and said, "All good?" then started to walk away. To which I stopped her and relayed everything. She seemed not to care but said, "Sorry you encountered this." I explained how unacceptable all of this was again zero empathy. DO BETTER EDH TARGET!
