When my husband arrived to pick up my goodie bag, he experienced the most horrible customer service treatment! He waited to be assisted for 15 mins, without so much as an acknowledgment or Hello. The red head who assisted three other customers, who arrived after he did, was very rude & racist! She finally asked my husband in a nasty tone, “What do you need?”.

A friend of mine gave me a gift card and they told me it had “expired” even though the original receipt for the fort card did not include information about gift cards expiring. Kind of a bummer.
Everything we've tried has been amazing. I can't wait to go again and we're from the West Coast!
