We booked a part at Jump n Jump for our 7 year old dauhter on Tuesday March 15th. The party was booked for 24 kids. We ended up with 29 (however 2 went home before food but that besides the point because I was not contesting paying for them) because some parents showed up with siblings and rather than having them pay out of pocket for a general admission (which is only 8.95 a child) we told them to ask if they could check in with us and we'd take care of the cost. Apparently we went over the "extra 3" allotment of add-on pricing for party. The manager rather than charging $10 per additional child (for a total of $50) wanted to charge me for a second party!

All the written material says is each child above 24 is $10 per child. After a few minutes of back and forth mall security shows up. Since I was refusing to pay anything above $50 additional to the party package, mall security calls the Kingston Police Dept for "theft of service".

One of the police officers told the manager that what I was willing to pay sounded reasonable and he thought it was "prudent of you to accept it". ! He said he was not authorized to. He refused to call the owners back who he said would allow him on an earlier call to discount the second party by $50 (so, $129). So, after double checking that this was not a criminal matter with the police I wrote down my cell # and gave it to the manager and told him to have the owners call me tomorrow. He then tried to hand me a complaint form and said if I want to contact the owners i need to fill it out!! This entire situation is very upsettng. My 7 year was crying on her birthday because the police showed up. As one c
