This store is the closest one to me but over the years has been borderline scammy with their pricing. My friend taught me Warhammer at this store and my friend had always told me that we buy something from the store after/before every game as a way of supporting the store allowing us to play. The first time I bought a set of those 36 tiny d6 dice, it costed me $25, which seemed high for Chessex but I didn't want to be that person. A few weeks later, I bought the same dice, just in a different color and I was told it was $32 all of a sudden; again not wanting to argue, I just paid it and didn't buy dice again. A few months ago, I came to this store to play Warhammer with a local and I was told I needed to pay for the table. Something I wasn't aware of since it wasn't present before and I hadn't played there in a while but it was okay. I confirmed with the employee before paying that I'm just paying for the table and not for each person and decided to buy a couple Pokemon booster packs to support the store again, besides just paying for the table. I was told the Booster Packs were a whopping $11 a piece, some others that I didn't purchase were $14; where I had been buying these same packs at other, similar sized stores for between $4-$7 a pack. Again, didn't want to argue and still wanted to support even though I was getting sick of this. The employee told me the total was $50 when after doing the math plus taxes, it came out to $32 which I explained to him. He said "Oh, there was another thing already in the system, let me fix that." After about 10 minutes, he reduced the total to about $40, still being higher than what I said, which he then replied with saying I had to now pay for each player, not just the table. I paid and played my game and left. I really get the feeling they just make up the prices and see what they can get away with. I for sure can go to another store and pay their prices, but I just really hate that through the multiple times of trying to suppo
