I have been going to JMD for about 12 years or so , and I have to say I love that place , it is so much fun , they have a plethora (sp?) of cr@p to look at , the prices on clothes are a little high and do seem to be made for people on meth , think size 0 ,lol but they have lots of fun knick knacks , magnets , bath stuff, books , stickers , and almost any other useless yet nifty thing you might want to pick up ""just because"" , I love the giant shoe staircase that leads up the the shoe area though I don't go up there very often cause I am a casual shoe kind of gal, When ever I go I almost always keep in mind presents for stocking stuffers from all the wacky things they have like the mini chicken or ninja launcher guns , lol...Now about the staff , .... I love them too, yea they are stand offish and yeah they don't chat you up with a perma-grin , but then again you ain't shopping at walmart or target are you ? You're in weird freaky store full of weird freaky people that deal with mostly tourists/posers all day ,So as long as you remember that and just want to go to have a fun time looking at and probably buying some wacky/strange/funky fricking stuff and not go in expecting anyone to want to be your best friend ... you should do alright :) oh and the shoplifting thing is all how you take it , go in , give them your stuff , get your keychain , and go shop , it really isn't a big deal unless you make it one , ( probably planning on stealing if your that offended) there are alot of theives around and they are doing what it takes to keep theft down in their store :)
Pros: fun , huge stock, good parking on weekdays, interesting staff, surrounded by other cool stores like Crystal Blue , good price on special effects hairdye
Cons: prices and clothing sizes, pay to park on weekends, not alot of space between racks, not gonna be your buddy but not really con since you came to shop right?
