I think to myself.  Eyeing the shelves, I see many board games, chess sets, and minis games that I would gladly buy for any 10 year old.The gross man's response is, "We don't have anything for that age group.  You should go somewhere else."Now - I can tolerate almost anything for good product.  But I cannot tolerate disgusting smells, rotting shelves, or week old food in combination with service so horrible.The store had a large selection of books, true.  But I would never consider going there again.</blockquote>
