 | 	- Holy cow what a interesting toy store. Penny candy for a buck, Dollar toys for ten.  A cool place overstocked with retro and authentic vintage toys. Strange action figures ( like Jesus and Moses with props), and 1000's of tiny little things that you can keep in a cigar box or your pocket of your dungarees  till mom washes them... Boo Radley merchandise! Plus Kiss, Brady bunch and some adult birthday crap as well... Old library card catalog cabinets full of plastic and glass things, marbles, and other small things you should not put in your nose.
I asked the heavily tatted, bearded, bored, vacant, inattentive, texting dude ( standing next to his fellow female coworker - same attitude, different shirt)  at the counter if  he could tell me what the very cool Monkey Mobile Matchbox car in the case cost. He asked if I intended to buy it. I replied that I didn't know till I found out what it cost. He harrumphed, and, muttering under his beard, began the long and obviously painful process of unlocking the cabinet and reaching in to check the price.
I felt so bad for him...in fact, I told him to nevermind...I didn't NEED the item anyway.
Right after I wrote this, A very nice and well respected member of the Cleveland Yelp Community wrote to me. I think this exchange is telling:
Mr X:
Hey Mike, Big Fun is truly an AWSOME place but the hipster doofuses that are employed there need to be overlooked...
They're nothing more than cash register button pushers that don't have a clue about MOST of the stuff in Big Fun...
There is another one on the west side that should be better and consider that next time you are in town.
Cheers!

Thanks for the heads-up.
Problem is - the staff IS the business to anyone who is not just walking through. I wanted to buy a few rather pricey things, but damn is I'll give my money to anyone who acts extremely annoyed that I was there.
Nope ... never again!
Peace :)

Mr X,
Sorry to beat a dead horse, but there are three prime aspects to a business.
Environment, product and service.
I can't overlook a dirty, mean  a$%*$le his wages. Why does the management think so little of their clientele that they not only charge 2-3 times wholesale but also subject them to people like this whilst trying to buy ??
Just a bunch of sheep I guess..
Just my thoughts, thanks for the words!
Mr X:
Yup...
I get it...
Peace!

Hey no worries, I share your mindset about that...I've done my fair share of retail therefore expect  certain things...
Big Fun dropped the ball here....
Almost makes me want to call and chat with the owner...
Cheers!
So there it is - very very cool, very very unfriendly place.
Come to think of it... I don't need anything there.
Out.
