Our day started out wonderfully. My family and I had an amazing time apple picking and were really…read moreenjoying our day together. Unfortunately, the experience took an upsetting turn when we went to the shop to purchase apple cider doughnuts. My sister and I were standing in line when a staff member suddenly called us out in front of the other customers. She yelled, "Get in the back of the line and don't cut. That lady was here first!" My sister and I were extremely confused and embarrassed. Everyone turned to look at us as though we had done something wrong. The staff member then asked, "Did you place your doughnut order?" We explained that we had not, which was why we were standing in line. She responded by telling us that we needed to place our doughnut order first and then get in line to pay. We completely understand that there may have been a specific process for ordering and paying, and we would have gladly followed it if someone had simply explained it to us. However, the way this information was communicated was unnecessarily harsh and humiliating. We felt scolded, embarrassed, and shaken by the interaction. I can still remember the angry, raised tone of the staff member's voice. There are many ways this situation could have been handled respectfully and professionally. A simple explanation such as, "Excuse me, you need to place your doughnut order over there first, and then you can come back to this line to pay," would have been more than enough. What should have been a wonderful family outing ended with us feeling embarrassed and uncomfortable. No customer should have to be treated this way, especially when there was clearly a misunderstanding rather than an intentional attempt to cut in line. Unfortunately, after this experience, I do not feel comfortable returning. I hope management takes the time to address how situations like this are handled with customers so that others do not have to experience the same treatment.

We used Gordon's for our small wedding, and they were able to accommodate everything we needed, delivered on time, and everything looked amazing. I have used them since to send my wife flowers for our anniversary. Always willing to help, and use fresh, colorful flowers. They even went out of their way to deliver outside of their "zone," during a terrible rain storm. The flowers are always beautiful, and last for a very long time. We're still enjoying the roses that they delivered over a week ago!

As far as gift or novelty shops are concerned, this place misses the mark a bit. It doesn't seem to…read morehave its own identity figured out, if that makes sense. Yes, it is a small space but it is pretty jam-packed with merchandise and lacks a general sense of cohesion...or at the very least, feng shui. For example...lingerie outfits hanging randomly above the doorway and window? Y'know, right by the silk pashminas and whatnot. Not what I'd expect from a gift store in Ipswich. Gift items span the continents - some Asian, South American, and even local designs from artists. Some of the items are ridiculously overpriced (i.e., little woven trinkets from Turkey - where I used to live - marked up astronomically). Yes, there are some neat finds to be had at Foreign Affairs, but I doubt I'd return.

This Family Dollar is oddly situated in the middle of downtown Ipswich on a street with a bunch of…read moresmall gift shops, jewelers and restaurants, so it kind of sticks out and kills the small town vibe Ipswich is going for. However, it did prove to be very convenient when I worked across the street from it for a few years. It has all the random little things you expect to find at a Family Dollar: makeup, snacks, cleaning supplies, very unstylish clothing, pet food etc. The staff tends to be nice, although sometimes you have to work at finding someone to work the check out when you're finished shopping, and the store is always pretty clean. Overall it's not an impressive place to shop, but if you need to pick up a few things at a good price, Family Dollar will suffice.
