I've been antiquing and thrifting for decades, and I can honestly say I've never experienced quite…read morethis level of "maximum-security antique shopping." From nearly the moment my children and I entered, an employee followed us from room to room with all the subtlety of a prison guard conducting rounds. Not occasionally checking in. Not discreetly keeping an eye on things. Following us. Room. To. Room. Complete with the unblinking, judgmental stare that made browsing feel less like shopping and more like supervised visitation. I'm not naive. I understand perfectly well why antique stores keep an eye on customers, particularly families with children. Some children are careless. Some parents apparently believe "don't touch" is an infringement on personal liberty. I get it. I've been doing this for decades, and I've specifically taught my children how to behave in antique and thrift stores: be careful, be respectful, and understand that the things around you belong to other people. Which is also why I'd appreciate being allowed to actually parent my own children before a store employee decides to assume the role. At one point, my child--who is under 10--picked up an item to inspect it because he was considering buying it. The employee, who of course was already hovering nearby, gruffly told him that he needed to put it back unless he wanted to buy it. Interesting retail strategy. Perhaps I've misunderstood antiquing all these years, but generally one examines an item BEFORE deciding whether to purchase it. If the store's policy is that customers may look but not touch, pick up, inspect, or otherwise evaluate merchandise, that is certainly their prerogative. Put up a sign saying so. But don't be surprised when customers respond by doing exactly what you apparently want them to do: look--and then leave without buying anything. What bothered me most wasn't even being watched. I'm sure plenty of antique stores quietly keep an eye on customers, and I don't blame them. The difference is that every other antique store I've visited has managed to accomplish this without making customers feel like inmates being escorted through the recreational yard. There is a considerable difference between discreetly monitoring your merchandise and overtly following a family from room to room while communicating suspicion through your expression, posture, and gruff tone. Maybe give people the benefit of the doubt first. If my children start mishandling merchandise, by all means say something. I would probably be saying it before you had the chance. But treating children as a problem before they've actually done anything wrong--and treating their parent as though he cannot possibly supervise them without assistance--is neither welcoming nor particularly conducive to making a sale. And that's the unfortunate part. I've purchased several items here before and would have happily continued doing so. There are individual vendors in this store whose booths I genuinely enjoy browsing, and they are ultimately the ones who lose future sales because I have no desire to shop while being shadowed by a self-appointed warden. Antique stores depend on people being willing to browse, inspect, discover, and occasionally fall in love with something they didn't know they wanted when they walked through the door. That experience becomes considerably less enjoyable when someone is staring over your shoulder waiting for an infraction. So, to the vendors whose booths I've enjoyed and purchased from before: I'm sorry. You have some wonderful things. To the management: if you're going to put someone in a public-facing position, perhaps consider whether they make paying customers feel welcome--or like they should be counting down the days until parole.

Viviane and I pulled a bunch of playful pieces and it honestly felt like we were playing dress-up before a date in a rom-com. The racks were full of colorful, sparkly things and it was impossible not to get into the spirit of it. I decided to lean all the way in and pick something a little funky to show up in. Viviane even found the perfect silly hat to tie the whole look together. She allowed me to get ready in the dressing room since I don't live in Truckee. She even turned on a little space heater for me to stay warm. She gave me a great deal and even gifted the gloves as well as a rose quartz crystal. Unique Boutique is different from any other boutique I've ever stopped at before. I would definitely recommend coming to check out her collection and to meet the business owner because she is amazing!! Thanks for your help Viviane!
