I haven't really been in hot topic since high school & was happy to take my son inside to check out what this generations "hot topic" is. He found some cool stuff & I surprisingly did as well. I came up on this throwback BMTH shirt which was pretty dope and rare in my opinion. It juss sucks the way they put the plastic tag in the collar now. It would be cool if they didn't tag them like this. read more

Had such amazing experience this evening because of the two young ladies working tonight. I was going to purchase one item for a friend's birthday. I ended up buying more because of the great service I received from Amber and Veronica. HOT TOPIC you really did good when you hired them. They have great customer service skills. read more

Service was great but this is less of a review of Hot Topic and more of a review of Jason. He was so nice and cute and said he liked my tattoos. I wanna go back just to ask him if he's single lol, anyway 5 out of 5 stars read more

What can I say about a hot topic that you don't know already. Customer service was excellent. Plenty of merchandise. Good location, clean and most important they sell exclusive Pusheens. read more

I was given a pair of denim from Hot Topic and two gift cards last year. I enjoyed the pair of denim and wanted to get a couple more with my gift cards. I ordered my items from the store but will be calling tomorrow to cancel my order. The frumpy associate working the door should work on her bad attitude when a customer doesn't know they have to be let out. Instead of socializing with your coworkers, stand at the door and do your job. A manager should coach her on etiquette. You don't bark at customers Karen. read more

Today I was helped by such a nice employee named Eli. He was seriously so sweet and helpful at the register and I just wish everyone had amazing customer service like him. Super nice guy! This store also had such cute demon slayer things that I hadn't seen at other stores. I was in a hurry today but hope to come back soon. read more

Very impressed with this store! I hadn't shopped here in years and stopped by to pick up a birthday gift. I had just got off my shift at a neighboring store, was very hot and irritated, but left in a great mood! All the employees were very hands on, polite, and made me feel very welcomed and important. I loved seeing all the high school kids working hard and eager to help all the customers in the store. And a big shout out to Crystal! (Who jumped through hoops to make sure I got exactly what I wanted!) you rock!!! Definitely will be returning! read more

I called to verify my information on a package because it's a birthday gift and let me just say. After a few days of bad customer service, from places like target and ikea. Amanda, brightened my day. She was informative, patient, and helpful. Her peppy spirit made it easy to talk to her and so much easier during rough times. Amanda also was kind enough to say happy birthday, and hopes the gift is everything we could hope for. Amanda, if you see this. You're incredible, wonderful, and we need more of you in this world! I would definitely go to this store again!! read more

Honestly I was really disappointed,I just came to pick up an order and there were no signs to indicate when the store was closing,an associate answered the door and wouldn't even let me pick up the package,she just told me come back tomorrow and she was kinda rude about it, I came back today and the store was closed. I usually don't get irritated about stuff like this but I found the customer service to be very poor. read more

The managers of HT suck but VG was the first place I had such a great experience with the managers of this place! when I first came into the store a few years ago Krystal and Andrea the two store managers greeted me graciously and catered to my every need. It wasn't just basic customer service (which most of the workers at the HT VG have down 100%, especially Stephon, Kayla, Puja, Jordan and Isaac) but it was also knowledge We bonded over pops and clothes and it made experience more exciting as long as them and most of the existing associates still work their they'll be getting my business and I don't even live in the area! I've gotten to know Krystal, Andrea, Seana and Vanessa with all of my merchandise returns and exchanges and they have kept me coming back for years read more

I felt this place was a little more annoying than you average hot topic. We were stopped and told about the current sale by every employee. They have a good selection of your standard hot topic fare. read more

The line to get in takes over an hour don't come to this location. Only 9 are allowed in the store at a time and it will tale forever to get in, don't bother. read more

THE worst Hot Topic in the tri-city area. The staff are the typical "working for a pay check" people who knowing nothing about the music or scene that they're supposed to be selling. Don't bother asking for help since you will be rushed to the In store computer terminal and told to make your purchase there. Seems like going to the back is too hard for them. read more

I've been here multiple times and I'm always welcomed and asked if I need anything. The employees are always doing something but also pay attention to their customers. Great location. read more

Honestly kinda dissatisfied with this place right now. Like at first this place had only one register open and they had sufficient people to at least have both of them open so it took forever to get rung up. And also I was given the incorrect change. I didn't notice this until I came home but I literally got robbed ten dollars from this place yesterday. I gave the cashier a 100$ bill and when I check the receipt she put down that I gave her 90$ so I was given the incorrect change. I wish I would have noticed this sooner but it's my fault for not checking before getting home. Don't really mind it cause it's just 10$ but you gotta be careful just Incase it's ever more than just ten dollars. Train your cashiers better. read more

I havent had any luck with this staff, especially the assistant manager. She was completely rude and had attitude and was glad to let me know she was the assistant manager like there was nothing I could do as a consumer because she was the "boss." I already contacted hot topic headquarters. We will see what they say. I'll just stick to the hot topic in Riverside. read more

Let me start off with how amazing Kayla and Seana are! Give them a raise, make them managers, or make them employees of the month because they gave 110% outstanding, above and beyond customer service today. I had ordered a box of The Nightmare Before Christmas 3 piece trinket box gift set, and 2 eyeshadow palettes and had it shipped to the store because I was afraid it was going to break if I shipped it to my residence. I picked up my order on 08/23/2019 at around 9pm and Kayla had asked "would you like me to open it and make sure everything is correct?" I said yes and she opened it carefully and had grabbed each item to make sure everything was what I had ordered. She even opened the eyeshadow palettes to make sure the eyeshadow wasn't cracked. I appreciate that Kayla!! Then she unwrapped the trinket box from the bubble wrap and made sure it looked good. Everything looked great and she wished me a great evening. But unfortunately when I got home I opened the trinket box (something I should have done before I left the store) and was pulling each one out. As I pulled out the last one I saw a piece lying in the box, I was devastated to realize that one of the trinkets was broken. I couldn't go back to the store because it was already past store hours. I had to wait until I got off work today (08/24/2019). I just left the store and oh wow did I get the same AMAZING, OUTSTANDING, APPRECIATIVE 110% customer service from Seana. I walked in and right away Seana greeted me with a welcoming smile. I had already made the decision that I was going to return it and just get store credit. But then Seana made my day! I explained that I came in the night before and picked up my online order but that when I opened the box when I got home it was broken. She right away said "I knew it, when I picked up the box in the back I heard a noise like it was cracked. But we have some in store so let me go grab one." She walks away and comes back with a brand new one. Of course I wanted to open it before I left the store because I didn't want this one to be broken as well. It was all good and looking really cute. I took out the paperwork that came in the box to do the exchange and she just simply says "no you're set to go, we don't need that because it is a straight exchange." I cannot thank you enough for such a simple exchange that was hassle free! Then Kayla walks in and I explain to her what happened when I left the store the night before. I cannot explain how amazing it is to feel treated with respect and enthusiasm and such great positive attitude. You ladies rock and definitely deserve some recognition for the great work that you did. I wouldn't have imagined myself making a purchase from hot topic after an incident that happened 3 years ago. I finally let go of the grudge I had and gave them a second chance, hoping they would have changed since then and they did. It may have just been the customer service being different from online to in person. But I will definitely start shopping again at Hot Topic. Coming from someone who also works in retail I cannot thank you enough Kayla and Seana for such an amazing interaction I had with you two!! Ps. If I can give you more than 5 stars I definitely would! read more

My boyfriend shops here often for POPS, first time coming in with him to use his Hot Cash! The employees where very nice and helpful. Ended up getting some items for myself :) read more

I called to ask what time they close because I can't trust the hours listed. I haven't gone to this hot topic since before the pandemic, and I don't want to waste my time driving and showing up to an empty store. They answer, acknowledges me, then put me on hold and after 15 seconds, hang up. If you're busy, I understand. I can hold. This was just rude read more

The girl with the grey green hair was really rude. We picked up an item and she snapped at us to keep organized because she was gonna stock it. We've come here for years and this girl kinda killed it for us. Oh well read more

This place sucks...Was in the store 15 min and NO ONE greeted me. The store is small geez!! None of my $ spent here for sure!

I love this hot topic, it is one of my favorite hot topic locations! (And I have actually been to many locations because I'm a total hot topic fan..) The reason I enjoy this location so much is because they usually always have things I don't tend to find in other locations, idky, maybe from others selling faster or something, but I just love how I can always find super cute shit at this one. The other reason is because the manager, Krystal, is super friendly. They also have an Instagram page @hottopic_vg which I find super cute and creative because the employees model outfits rather than posting tons of generic ads. +keeping us updated on merch stock. Last, there's this one employee with purple hair, I think her name was Kayla, she is sooooooo cute and was happy to help me. I always enjoy employees that are welcoming and friendly. Cute stuff+nice employees=happiness! ;D read more

First time at this location, but i have visited many! They do a good job changing up their merchandise. Nice that you can have an opportunity to listen to the music they sell on the CDs before you have to buy them. They tend to have some killer sales, like the one we took advantage of today! The staff is pretty helpful and friendly. read more

I had a problem with a malfunction in the product and it was completely taken care of with no hassle. She had blue hair, I believe her name was Mari. Great customer service. read more

Negative 5 starts. Rude! Unprofessional Customer Service. Marie, should value her repeat customer and provide the right customer service as a so-call Manager. read more

This location sucks! I used their store online kiosk to purchase a shirt they didn't have in stock. NEVER AGAIN!! Let me just say if you choose to do this be prepared for sucky customer service if there's a problem. They sent the wrong shirt and when I told the guy who was working the register, who's name was Steve, his reply was "since it wasn't purchased at our store you are going to have to take it home and call corporate yourself." I'm sorry but since it was a hot topic mistake shouldn't hot topic take the shirt back, give me a refund or call the d.c and fix it for me??? I told him I was sorry if it seemed like I was giving him attitude but that I just didn't want to deal with the hassle and his reply was "nobody does" gee thanks Steve. I'm glad you aim to please. I will never shop there or buy from their internet site ever again. read more
