The Discovery Hut — Local services in Calgary

Normally me and my friend adore this place, the smells from the fry store drifts in and makes it a wonderful place. On the left wall on your way in there are collectables, they are quite expensive so we went for the cheapest one. ‘Creeplings’ which might I add is only 5 dollars. I gave the small packet to my friend as I went to go check fry prices. When I came back in, a store employee started making their way towards my friend who was stopping his alarm. He then was about to place his phone in his pocket when the employee reached for his phone obviously mistaking it for the small packet we had grabbed. The person then pulled away after seeing it was his phone and awkwardly started moving the horses into an orderly fashion. I then grabbed the small packed from my friend and placed it on some boxes beside us as I was too lazy to put it back and wanted fries instead. So we then left. We grabbed fries and sat at a table in front of the store. Halfway through the yummy fries the manager from discovery hut came up to us. “You stole something and I want it back.” Me and my friend having no idea who was talking to us and very flustered told the lady that we had it and then put it on top of the boxes. The manager then said they were absolutely sure we had and that there was a video of us doing so. Which in fact we NEVER stole. After we profusely told the manager we had not done so. They went back into the store and we continued on with our fries. My friend seemed really uncomfortable and when I asked what was wrong he mentioned how the employees were huddled and staring at us. We were past the store and my friend was still feeling queasy. We then decided to go confront them as I myself started feeling weary. When we went in the manager greeted us as if we had slapped them across the face. We then offered to take everything out of our pockets. They then claimed we could have already thrown the toy out. We asked if we could see the evidence of us in fact stealing, they refused and we walked out of the store.

Again, we did NOT steal. Probably not...

An amazing store with top notch customer service! We had one peice missing out of game we purchased from there. Sent the company that makes it an email thinking they could replace it easier than Discovery Hut could. They company got back to me and let me know to contact discovery to deal with this matter. Once contacted they were VERY helpful and easily came up with a solution. Instead of exchanging it (we had already mixed in the extra expansion packs we purchased before noticing the missing piece) they would open another game and give us the missing piece. We would just have to go into the store to pick it up from them. Another slight issue, we live about 5 hours away from Calgary. The store manager(Chinook location) Then gave the staff member the go ahead to take my address and mail it out to us. The service we received from them is truly appreciated and it is safe to say we will definitely be back! I would give 10 starts if I could! Thank you again...
