Chatham Toys — Local services in Chatham

Awful experience. I’ve taken my kids to this toy store for over ten years, with EVERY trip to Chatham we make, multiple times every summer. This afternoon me & 2 of my children were ready to make a purchase (well over $100.) & my polite 10 year old son, politely asked the man behind the counter if he had a trash bin he could throw away his paper cup? The man behind the counter said: NO! (And then instructed my son to walk half way up the block and throw his cup out there in the public trash bin. I then said; wait...what do you want him to do? He then repeated and I said that’s absurd! And he then weakishly shrugged his arms and said, we don’t have a trash bin here we only recycle! I said: Great! It’s not even plastic it’s paper! The man then said; well I can’t take it I have no way to take it. Huh?! Wait?! What?! Needless to say I didn’t end up purchasing anything, and my special trip to the toy store was ruined. I will NEVER step foot in this place ever again. It’s also worth mentioning that the store up the street that sells a few toys, dishes etc. (same side of street)! The gentleman in there could not have been kinder, with no mention of my awful experience at the Chatham Toy Store, this lovely man/employee offered to cut tags off of the stuffed animals we purchased as well as dispose of the trash!

Also I’m curious how does the Chatham Toy Store dispose of the sulafane wrappers - and other non recycleble shipping and packaging parcels that their products are shipped and...

The couple of low reviews are bizarre. The level of entitlement of some people - from wanting to use a store as your trash can to someone who wants the store to babysit his a plus student who "never steels." This is a small business toy store, not a dumpster or a daycare. Use the trash cans everywhere throughout town and watch your own kids.

Anyway, we swung by for our first time to buy some Legos. My four year old was enthusiasticly greeted by the shopkeeper and she asked us what we needed help with. We were in and out in a few minutes and will be...
