They had a fair amount of floor sales associates and I was approached at least 5 times by five different sales people while I stood there looking confused and indecisive. \n\nI was there about 2 years ago and purchased a costume with relative ease. Perhaps it was easy since it wasn't an entirely popular costume and was easy to find...\n\nIf you want a costume, you have to find your choice on their MEGA WALL, they have so many costumes that they have the posters lining the upper walls through almost all of their aisles. If you want to try on a costume (only 2 costumes per change-room) you have to write down the costume number & name, bring it to their special warehouse staff and they run off and bring out the costumes to you.\n\nThis is where my time at the store went downhill. \n\nI called before hand to double check they would have my desired costumes in stock. I posed the question \"Does your website stock reflect the stock you carry in store?\" I was told YES.\n\nThis is not the case. I had my eye on about 6 different costumes, 5 of them could not be found AT ALL in the store despite being listed on-line as being available. They also seem to \"Sell out\" of costume despite STILL having the costume poster on their wall. So its a huge god damn time waster both for customers and sales staff to run around looking for costumes that don't actually exist. or do they? WHO FUCKING KNOWS. \n\nAmazing Party Store just seems disgracefully disorganized...\n\nThis place is mostly staffed by young adults. Although helpful and generally polite, 75% of them seem to be \"out to lunch\" and try as they might, they fail on a few areas of being detail oriented and perceptive. I handed one of the costume runners my requested costumes slip, and he came out with the totally wrong thing (wrong as in I wanted 2 nun costumes and he brought out Jesus of Nazareth...) So yea, I clarified my slip order and he tried again and brought out one costume that I wanted, and then another nun costume that I did not request...\n\nANYWAYS, Despite wanting to dress up as a provocative nun, I ended up in their sale tent (after being told one of my desired nun costumes was there), which is even more of a astounding disorganized mess. I didn't find my desired nun costume BUT, I did find a kick ass HIGH PRIESTESS costume for dirt cheap.\n\nSo moral of the story...you will walk in and spend about 2 hours figuring out how to get your desired costume and walk away with something completely different.\n\nBut, I am super happy with what I bought! Almost like my High Priestess costume more than all the shit I tried on. What they lose in their stocking system they make up for in variety and fairly decent prices. So, its worth a shot if your are patient and willing to go there with an open mind, time and a good attitude. \n\n:)"^^ . . "1"^^ . "3"^^ . "2"^^ . . . "2"^^ .
