We traveled from San Antonio Texas to visit my brother who's sick in the hospital in Columbia. The family and I were already in the area and we wanted to check out a few stores before heading back to the hospital. Thought this store would have been great to get a few things for my kids to bring back to Texas for them as they stayed with their grandma back home. When we looked up the shop it said it was next to the pinball arcade shop but when we looked it wasn't there. So we headed to the ice cream shop down a few blocks and to our surprise this store was across the street. After we got done with our ice cream we went to check it out. There was a very old lady sitting at the register or where you pay and my husband NICELY! Mentioned to the old lady, like hey Google is saying you're still down the road and not at your new location, she mumbled and said something then said rudely Yeah well there's nothing I can do to fix that. We weren't asking her to at that moment. But she could if she could comprehend using the internet and figure out how to fix it. If the old lady is tired of people mentioning and wants to be rude about it then why not email Google to fix it instead of being rude about it? Makes no sense. My husband saw a few things my son would have enjoyed, like the wooden sets that were a BBQ set or the grill set that cost 185 dollars or less but I told him no considering how rude the old lady was. Plus you can buy the same things for CHEAPER!! On Amazon. Good luck with the rude old lady oh and the overpriced...

I went in here a couple years ago with my child while waiting for something, we had some time to kill downtown. My kid was like 6ish at the time and we were looking around and checking everything out. Basically the lady was so extremely rude to us and I'm pretty sure it was a racist/islamophobic thing. She was super rude to us about being about to close and basically kicked us out but she wasn't closing for another 20 minutes and folks had come in and out after us and she wasn't rude to them at all. We were there for less than 10 minutes I'm sure cause I kept looking at the time and when she became so rude I started to try and make excuses for her like maybe it was closing time but there was a full 20 minutes left and folks came in after us so that's not why. Now every time we pass the store my kid wants to go in and I have to remind him the owners are islamophobic and we aren't safe or welcome there. I forget the exact words said as it happened a year ago at least but when I saw them on Facebook I felt inspired to write this review cause they hurt a child. It's one thing being racist to adults but they really were so nasty to us and mind you my kid is so well behaved we weren't disrespecting the store or anything. Just figured folks should know not everyone feels...
