St. Mary's Armenian Apostolic Church — Attraction in Glendale

When I heard about St. Mary’s Church having a bingo hall, I thought how cool. That gives us the opportunity to do something fun and exciting during the week. Well we went to check it out and sorry but upon the entrance it already is a disaster with smoking in front of the entrance and that killed it right away. Second, we did our buy ins and it was fairly priced even though there is a sign posted with the prices, the men ask you what do you want? They are very rude and ignore you. As if they are laughing at you. Next, the instructions or the program is not very clear as to what to mark and don’t you dare ask a question they get offended and act like isn’t it obvious? For being there the first time, they should have someone to help out the people and not assume everyone is a regular customer. Once in a while you do get new people who may need help, big deal.The main concern of all the staff is the focus on selling out all of the pull tabs and who cares about playing bingo. I guess that gets them more revenue and profit. When it comes time to play bingo, the callers either make careless mistakes, announce the numbers wrong and call way too fast. What’s wrong with having a normal bingo game to pass time and make it fun for everybody rather than a business to make money like hungry coyotes. The staff are loud and beyond obnoxious, they are very disrespectful and you must remember there are elderly people their and the staff say really horrible things and cuss and make hand gestures that these old timers know about way back when from when they were young and were probably taught not to do that in public. Never have I ever seen a display from a bunch of disrespectful people who show they are greedy and money hungry and act like they are doing volunteer work for Church. It’s very sad that we cannot go to a place like that because there is no one you can talk to that acts normal to make a clear point. Unless they change I will never, ever go there. As for the old folks, these are people who are old enough to be your grandparents and they are someone’s parents and or grand parents, shame on the staff for treating...

Very disrespectful people/employees. I walked in and I stood waiting for a while in front of two men which had a conversation with each other. They literally ignored me. When the first guy finally acknowledged me, I gave them $52 which is the cost for the cheapest Bingo package. The man asked me what I want. Not quite sure why he asked, because to me it is obvious. During Bingo the Bingo caller told people to lower the noise level several, several times. The noise did not come from the people, instead the floorwalkers running around selling pull tabs were yelling the name of them. The caller even threatened to call faster because of the noise to punish the customers. The second time I was there they had a new Bingo caller. She made a mistake. Instead saying that the number she pulled was the lucky number of the day she said it was the wild number for that game. When somebody questioned it, she than said it is the lucky number, however; people already started marking their paper with that so called wild number and was upset about that. (I marked mine too). Then came the Lady from behind the pull tab station. She told everybody that the young lady never said wild number and if we don’t like it, we can leave. It is worse than a Kindergarten. Very disrespectful and aggravating place. NO customer...

I had my wedding here and was disappointed with the experience. The church itself is beautiful, parking is easy, but nothing about my ceremony went the way I wanted it to. I couldn't have my choice of walking down the aisle music. The order in which ppl walked down the aisle was determined by a clergyman / priest. Also the clergyman seemed very irritated at everyone and everything. My maid of honor as well as everyone else was rushed and no one was there to fix my dress / veil and it was all crumpled up in the entrance. I wanted my relative to be the cross bearer during the ceremony but they made the process complicated saying it has to be the best man and same person who signs legal documents. I'm very disappointed at the lack of cooperativeness. They also kicked us out as soon as the ceremony was done so we couldn't take pictures and also wrapped up the ceremony that they told me will be an hour long in 30 minutes so my guests had to wanted around during this time gap that was unaccounted for. The priest himself was nice and the content of the mass (prayer...
