I just had the most incredible experience of selflessness I believe I've ever felt. I went to the Lego store in Potomac Mills and I was so excited to spend $100 so I could get the nutcracker. Well what I neglected to realize is that this was a Black Friday thing and when the cashier rung me up I guess he could see my heart drop with disappointment. I contemplated putting everything back and returning on Friday but crowds and a barely 5ft person aren't a thing for me. Needless to say I swallowed my pride and was just going to go home feeling defeated. Well my cashier, David, went to the back of the store and came out and said that he received one as an employee and that he already had one that was his Nana's that passed away so he'd like me to have his if I wanted it 😭😭😭😭😭😭. I was humbled and hesitated because I didn't feel like I deserved it if it wasn't available but I REALLY wanted it so I actually accepted the gift with the utmost gratitude. I wanted to buy him a Lego in return of his liking but he refused. I will find some way to repay his kindness and I will pay it forward. David, you are special and I hope God continues to bless you. If you go to the Potomac Mills Lego store please say hi to David and make him feel special. Fill out the survey for his kindness and let's raise him up with kind words so he...
Read moreBuild your own minifigs is a cool idea and so is the wall of random pieces you can choose from. If you become a member of the Lego program your membership expires if it isn't used within 2 years. We live 5 hours away and we don't go to the store often enough but now you can use your membership online. Also, the store is cool (a lego store, there aren't that many) but just has a limited selection that I'm guessing is chosen based on sales and/or new releases. This year everything my son wants is online and nothing he wanted was in the store. The store has the two unique features I mentioned earlier but that's it. I'd also like to point out that there are 2 lego stores very close to each other (about 30 minutes apart) but then no stores for hundreds of miles in between which is why we don't go very often. We live too far away to visit regularly. These are my issues. The store was clean and organized. The staff...
Read moreI am a super fan of Lego and its philosophy. Unfortunately the employees of Lego Store at Potomac Mill Mall dont share and behave that philosophy. Last Sunday ( 08 / 07 / ), my son and I were at the store. We did the same routine : built at store something and then put the pieces in the vase and buy them. In this opportunity, when we were building our " masterpiece " two employees came to us to warned us that the pieces were there to buy them and not to play with them. We were astonished and we left the store after puting them back. I hope the employees are new and not that Lego changed...
