I hate this place for the sole fact that my last purchase cost my over $150 because I wasn't told that my card would be charged for magazine subscriptions street I was told that they were free.

I called back to say hey don't even send my credit card info in but was told that it was "Too late" and that it's gonna take their managers up to a week to get the issue resolved. The staff would have been friendly had they actually not lied to me. The interior is also very crowded and the selections are smaller than they used to be since most of their content is toys and collectables. The staff was no where near the checkout when I was ready to go and I had to wait around, which I don't really care to do but if you're in a rush they're not the...
