    Went to Meet and Greet for KC Comets indoor soccer team season ticket holders. Large group but only one waitress, she did great but felt Main Event should have provided her some extra help.

    Host was okay, other game services awful especially the laser tag omg she was awful talking to KIDS with such attitude and not even better with talking to adults. Maybe because it’s a weekend and it’s overwhelming however that shouldn’t matter when your working at a kids place. Complained about resetting the game to teams (as she set it to individuals even tho we came as a party) she didn’t confirm what we wanted and said she wasn’t going back to change the settings. Hope their costumer service gets better because we won’t be returning due to this experience.
