\t\t\t\t\"party<\/a>Stapleton is home to more kids’ birthday parties per capita than probably any place on the planet. On top of that, several people turned forty this year<\/a>, and there are always theme parties and several direct giving parties for the schools. So, when party-throwers need to get party supplies, they want to make the trip as efficient as possible. What better place to go than a place completely stocked on things for parties?\n\n\u201cI have gone to Party City because they seem to have everything in one place,\u201d says Richele Clark. \u201cI could go to Target, but I feel like the things are all spread out throughout the store. The thing I don\u2019t like about Party City is that the checkout seems long and frustrating, even when no one else is there. Oh, that and helium balloons seem really expensive.\u201d Many customers feel that the checkout process could be better. \u201cI have gone there several times,\u201d says Kathy Young. \u201cIt is close by, and they do have all the things I need. But, my goodness, what is up with the checkout? Maybe the employee turnover is high, and they always have \u2018the new guy\u2019 training on the register, but it shouldn\u2019t take that long.\u201d\nFor at least one Party City customer, the laboring checkout process actually caused them to cancel the party. \u201cMaybe I was already having a bad day,\u201d said Kelly Hall, who was planning on throwing a surprise party for her husband. \u201cBut, I grabbed all the things I needed, and they are checking me out, and it is taking forever. I think I maybe had 20 items. We switched registers twice, had a couple price checks, and finally I was like, \u2018you know what, I think I am alright,\u2019 and I left.\u201d Hall said she wasn\u2019t rude, but just excused herself from the situation. \u201cLike I said, maybe I was already stressed, but watching the employee scan each item for three minutes was killing me. I just thought, \u2018this isn\u2019t worth it.\u2019\u201d Hall said she still had the party, but simply went and grabbed a few things from Target. \u201cI\u2019m so happy I kept it simple,\u201d says Hall. \u201cHonestly, by the time I left that Party City, I just didn\u2019t want to party.\u201d\n]]>\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
