Stage Nine Entertainment & G.Willikers Toy Emporium — Local services in Sacramento

I want to take the time out of my very busy day at work to write this review of this openly racist store located at 102 K St, Sacramento, CA 95814, named Stage Nine Entertainment. I want to specifically recognize the brown bearded skinhead Gavin, who spends his time while working harassing African American teenagers as they come in a look around/shop in the novelty store.

My son whose a regular 14 year old kid, whose fun-loving intelligent, inquisitive and well traveled was spending his time in Sacramento with his cousin a (white kid), yes my family is mixed raced. When they both walked inside and around the moviestore looking at the tshirts and other stuff. The skinhead Gavin or Thor approached them singling my 14 year old out by asking him what he wanted. My son said he was looking around. I might be out of date a bit with how things are done now a days because I am a 70's baby from the Bay Area.. But isn't that what kids (no matter what racial makeup) do during the summer break, they visit family members, go to stores or hang out at the malls?

Well apparently not when Gavin is working because when he hatefully tailed my son around the store making him feel uncomfortable with the harassment. My son minding his business was asked to leave the store without reason. When my son intelligently asked why like any mindful person would. Gavin answered like any tough toy shop worker would, "because you look suspicious." Well isn't that great, so Stage Nine Entertainment are racial profiling? I'm glad he made that clear and gave my son his very first experience with racism while shopping (we are in 2014 right?).

I hope that John Paul the manager understands what his employee is promoting (hate). Because you can best believe that never in life enter into his racist establishment and I will continue to post this experience on every review site possible.

"#Stage Nine Don't Serve African Americans", I'm glad we found that out, but not glad that my son whose a hard working straight A student in one of the best private schools in Bay Area, who regularly volunteers at the library to teach kids how to read, participants and wins technology hack-a-thons, who can present critical frames of thought to a room full of scholars, businessmen and his peers and have them captivated had to come face to face with a very hateful, numb, degenerate of a person named Gavin while shopping doing what all kids do his age.

Situation like this should not be tolerated, I hope that everyone who reads this review really understands the hurt I feel for what my son experienced at this store. He doesn't deserve that nor does anyone else. Google Plus Review being a powerful tool can shift business to and from a businesses. Lets shift business away from this disgusting place and put stores like these out of business for good because we don't need them...

I went in about a couple of weeks ago to buy a product from a collection I collect. I was pleased to see the Maleficent item I wanted in stock. I was a little put off that it was $319 when, on Amazon and another store it was priced at $255. I was excited and really happy when they were able to price match from the other store. I was asked to examine the item and I did. The only items I was not able to verify was her hands that detach from her arms. The cashier wrapped those up fairly quickly, and I didn’t get a chance to view them.

I came home, excited about this purchase and I opened my item. Upon opening, I saw that one of the hands had been previously repaired with glue and the other hand had a red mark on it. I was shocked that they were asking so much over the market price.  I realize that they were able to price match at the $255 price point, but considering it was damages, there should’ve been a bigger discount. I returned the item the same day.

I went in the store today and that SAME item, that I purchased, was “fixed” and put back on display for the SAME amount of $319. When I asked the cashier “How could you guys put this item back on the shelf for the same price?” She looked at me and told me that “Management told me to put it back because it was salvageable.” I told her “There isn’t even a sign that states the item was repaired or damaged.” She told me “I’m just the messenger.” She didn’t seem concerned at all that this company was misrepresenting it’s product and it’s condition. There is NO REASON a damaged/repaired item should be sold above market value WITHOUT acknowledging that it was repaired. This is what you call abusing...

This was my first time purchasing from Stage nine. ORDER #3677 was a RSVLT'S shirt that I purchased as a Christmas gift. At the time of purchase, the item was "in stock" and I received a purchase confirmation via email. Two days later, I noticed a credit fee notification on my credit card. Stage nine canceled the order with no explanation. I went to the items detail page to reorder and noticed the item was now "out of stock". My guess is they either sold me something they did not have "in stock", or over sold the item. Either way, Stage Nine wasted my time, provided me with a meaningless purchase confirmation and then provided zero customer service. A simple email, or a call on the phone would have been nice. Instead, they ghosted me. ...
