| - I am soooo disappointed, and frankly dusillisioned. I'm in the midst of a vacation and I had seen nothing but positives about this shop from the other Yelp reviews. Based on the selection and variety I was going to rate this at least four stars.
Here's why I'm not. I actually found several items to ask about, and was prepared to buy one or more of them. The person at the desk, someone about my age or at least mid thirties, was talking to a friend who apparently comes in there a lot. The clerk had said "hi" to me about 7 minutes into my visit, so he knew I was there. I stood back a respectful distance so as not to intrude on their conversation more than was necessary, and tried to make eye contact. I know he full on looked me in the eyes at least four times, but made no attempt to talk to me or ask if I wanted something. After 23 minutes of this, the friend left, without buying anything I might add. I should have left a long time ago but I was trying to give the clerk another chance. Instead he left the desk area for the back, and peered out twice at me. Finally, when he returned to hia counter I walked up to him and told himbrhat I don't know why he didn't want to sell anything yor me today, nor why he chose to ignore me for thirty minutes, but that he's lost a sale, as I was intending to buy today. I'm still not sure why he treated me so rudely, but I did catch him saying ti his friend twice the word "tourist" in a derogatory way. I don't know if that was about me in particular, but a specialty toy shop in Vegas should expect tourist customers. I'd rather think that's the reason, beacuse otherwise my only other inference would be that me being overweigh and/or balding offended him, and that's too CRAPPY to think about. I will still be in Vegas a few days, but I doubt that will make a difference if the owner reads this. For all I know the clerk IS the owner. But I do hope that this man feels remorse enough to never treat a potential customer that way EVER again.
