I come here if I'm in need/want a new toy, just bored and feel like seeing what there is, or want some kind of lingerie. Only been in this location a handful of times.
Saturday I went in there and the clerk would not stop harassing me. I mean every 3-5 minutes she was on my back asking what I'm looking for despite me telling her I had no idea what I was looking for. She kept trying to force a $120 vibrator on me that I told her I wasn't interested in, kept asking what toys I use the most, what kind of feeling I like, and it was just so creepy and overwhelming. She was getting WAAAAY too personal and now I feel like I can't go back in there because it's uncomfortable. People don't want to be given that much attention at these stores, it makes them feel sleazy and like they'll be recognised next time they go in. No one wants to feel like a regular at a sex store. Then, when I finally picked out a toy, she tried to convince me I wasn't able to use it without lube and tried to force a $20 bottle of lube on me. All while what seemed like the manager (short older Hispanic woman with a resting bitch face) stood behind the counter and watched me be uncomfortable and tell the clerk that if i needed help I would ask for it.
When I finally went to pay for my purchase, the manager kept eyeing me and rolling her eyes and literally checked every bill I payed with to see if it was fake. Including the $5 which she said was fake and very accusingly said "we can't accept that. It's very clearly your fake. You'll have to use a different form of payment." I get a lot of cash tips, so I just handed her a different $5 and they accepted that one. They asked if I would like to join their rewards program and I told them no, but the manager said with annoyance "it's free, just do it." But as soon as the transaction was done, while I was saying something to the clerk the manager said "you're free to go." Like I was some kind of criminal.
Took the $5 to the bank to exchange it and they told me it's not a fake at all. The manager was just being rude and suspicious. Maybe because I was walking aimlessly around the store just browsing and she didn't like that. But I will NOT be returning to this shading spot. Their stuff is overpriced anyway, their store is outdated and a little drab, and their clerks are always questionable people that I don't want touching my toys when they test them. I'll go to Zone or Adam & Eve.
