ABC Toys — Local services in Auburn

I went in. The employee followed me around the store like a hawk being super annoyed when my child would touch a toy (if you don't want kids playing with the toys then don't work at a toy store). Then the owner proceeded to tell me that my "husband" left a cup on a shelf by accident. He then said "oh my apologies I see no ring... boyfriend". Then he continued to be very rude and I decided to put the items back because the cup was empty and he would not allow us to have an empty cup in the store even though he saw us walk in with it (what am I supposed to do when I have a sippy cup for my daughter? Is that not allowed either?) so then when I told my husband that I was just going to not purchase anything because of how rude the guy was being... the guy said "I don't care if you put things back- you don't deserve respect because you are not a good person". I said "excuse me" he said "you heard me". I said "no. You don't deserve respect. You're the one being a jerk to me in front of my child. Don't own a toy store where you have things out for children to play with if you're going to breathe down my neck when I have done a very good job of replacing what my child has played with". He said "I feel so sorry for your child to have an a**hole mother like you" he actually said the word!! I said "are you kidding me" and he said "get out of my store if you don't like it".... absolutely RUDE! He has been reported to the manager and owner of the mall. Do not give this man your business. All of this after lying to me about a price when I was there previously and charging me double for the item just because my daughter wouldn't let go of it. And then when I asked if it was "20% or %15 plus %20" since the whole store says %20 on a sign out front but individual items are also marked off extra. He said "15+5=20 in case you didn't know". ABSOLUTELY REDICULOUS AND WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE! This is why ABC Toys in Eastdale Mall in...

If I could rate this place lower than a one, I would! My partner and I were there a few days ago and the owner was watching us the whole time! We’ve been there more than once and the first time he was watching us but did not bother us. This time, he came up to us while my partner had a toy in his hand and told him to put it back. We were in the back of the store, it was a big toy, and were still exploring! This was obviously with malicious intent because he was being rude and dismissive acting like we were not in HIS store, shopping for HIS merchandise. It is Christmas time and we trying to find gifts but instead were welcomed by his nonsense. So, my partner ended up buying the toy that wasn’t even worth stealing because if that’s how he wanted to play that’s fine, we did not miss that measly 15 dollars. We didn’t even want it. We were just holding it. And we threw it away right outside the door of his store. The mall needs to really reconsider who store they open! This is not a good environment and the owner is racist and just rude. For him to appear as a POC is disheartening as well because to be a minority or have an appearance of a minority and still act that way is ignorant to a high extent. This store should be closed permanently and from reading the other reviews it’s clear that he’s done this plenty of times and all around not a good...

Former employee of this store. I walked in a few weeks ago with my friends (since it is Christmas) and I did not touch a thing nor did I do anything to mess the store up, and the next day I got a threat text from the owner saying he would call the cops on me the next time I was to enter the store..... I did nothing wrong to this man or his store so he has no reason to call the cops on me. He is incredibly racist and selfish. People would come in with broken toys or toys that were missing pieces in the box and he would not give them a refund or listen to the problems that were wrong with the toys. He would tell them oh well and they could not their money back. I was working alone for the Christmas season because he would not hire any of the black people that applied to work there so he carelessly made me suffer working every shift, everyday, which led me to quit along with his unfairness. He is completely unprofessional and should not own a toy store. I would never recommend this store to anybody because the owners are so cruel and do not deserve anybody’s business....
