To celebrate my father's upcoming birthday, my sisters and I hatched a plan to throw a surprise…read moreparty for him. Typically, my sisters handle the bulk of the logistics related to decorations, but given the ample time afforded by my retired-bastard schedule, I offered to pick up a few of the requisite decorations in addition to my straightforward duty of simply procuring food and/or dessert (typically Mitchell's ice cream ). My original plan involved simply obtaining the desired balloons and dessert plates from a local Party City store. My detachment from the party-setup scene was made evident by my sisters who informed me that the local Party City stores had been shut down a while ago. My sisters informed me that I could go to the Diddams store located in San Mateo (a 20 minute drive from my home). When I arrived, I was greeted by SEVERAL staff members with a VERY friendly "hello". While attempting to track down and consider options, I was assisted by two representatives working on the floor, Aricela (sp?) and Jairo (sp?). Aricela was extremely PATIENT and KIND in providing assistance tracking down several items. Jairo was FRIENDLY and HELPFUL in his numerous attempts to check the storage area for a couple of things that were unavailable on the display cases. At the counter, Jose was very COURTEOUS and PROFESSIONAL in preparing the balloons that I purchased and in ringing me up to finalize my transaction. Side Note: I ended up having side conversations with Aricela, Jairo, and Jose as they were all extremely FRIENDLY and, not surprisingly, very KIND in indulging my desire to practice my green-belt level of Spanish EPILOGUE As things turned out, I returned home to find that the top layer of a stacked set of balloons I purchased completely deflated by the time I arrived home. I ended up returning to the store to inquire about how the issue could be remedied. As luck would have it, the store manager, Jason, was present and he was able to quickly address the issue by allowing me to simply grab a pre-constructed version of the balloon stack without question. The timing of my return was quite fortunate in that I was able to introduce myself to Jason and inform him, face-to-face, of the COURTESY, PATIENCE, and KINDNESS extended to me by several members of his team. KUDOS to Aricela, Jairo, Jose, and Jason - keep up the great work in providing EXCELLENT and FRIENDLY service to all your customers!

They said she was a complainer and were going on and on about how she probably never set foot in the store before this. It was very unprofessional and made me feel very uncomfortable in there. There is a sign on the door that says to 'buy local' but this experience made me question continuing to shop here. This happened days ago but the experience has been on my mind so I felt like I needed to write a review about it. To prevent other customers from feeling uncomfortable.

I was very disappointed to see this business selling candy that looked like it had been opened and…read morethen resealed. That is a serious food safety concern -- sealed packaging is there to protect customers from contamination and tampering. Once that seal is broken, the integrity of the product is gone, and no one can guarantee it's still safe to eat. Seeing it back on the shelf after being resealed immediately made me question the cleanliness, quality control, and overall trustworthiness of this place. On top of that, the pricing is completely unreasonable. They are charging nearly $10 more than what the same candy would cost anywhere else. This isn't a specialty import or a rare find -- it's the same everyday candy you can buy for a few dollars at other stores. Combining questionable handling practices with massive markups is a bad look for any business. Customers deserve both safe products and fair prices, and sadly, this shop fails to deliver either.

I had to wait a few minutes for the cashier to get off of his phone and do the exchange. The entire time he kept chatting with his friend about messages sent in a group chat.

I went in to purchase am Elmo costume and wanted to use a coupon that specifically says in stor or online (take20) one single item. Diana tells me that it doesn't work on costumes and is only for the jumping spider and other electronics when it specifically says that it excludes these items...she read it 3 times, she doesnt know what the word exclusions means. Then Nico, who seemed to have an wgo,comes to read the coupon and comes to the conclusion, "well it doesn't work" without even trying it! I am assuming he wasn't able to comprehend the coupon details so took the easy way out. Whats he have to lose, he just works there and cares less about company loses. I recommend trying a store with employees who have a bit more work ethics and aren't incompetent (in many things).

The last few tubes I've been into the store there is a sign on the door that says "we ordered too much, excuse the boxes". Every aisle in the store has piles of unopened boxes stacked to the tops of the shelves. The people who work there are spending all of their time trying to unpack these boxes and boxes of stuff with nowhere to move them. It's hard to shop in the store because of it and everything seems disorganized but it's just that there are too many boxes. I don't believe the store accidentally ordered too much, why would this be going on for months? I hope they can get it sorted out soon, it's not nice for the people who work there to constantly have to deal with the excess either.
