Experience matters, so this contributes to my overall rating.
Yesterday was my first visit to this store. I'm all for supporting local business.
I let my toddler play while I looked around this tiny shop. I'd check on him once in a while to make sure he wasn't wreaking havoc.
Eventually, it seemed he'd found a toy he liked -- a little stuffed pig from Peppa Pig. He clutched on to that thing and the woman behind the counter noticed. In my head, seeing how my son was rather attached to the toy and it only costing $3.95, I knew I was going to buy it.
I hate buying just one thing, so I kept searching the store for something else to buy. I don't know if that look make me look suspicious but it sure felt like it.
Eventually I picked up a Peppa Pig book. Then I walked to the counter to pay for the items and put both items on the counter. After the woman behind the counter scanned the price tag on the book, she paused and was just looking at me. I just looked at her because I had no idea what was going on.
She tells me she's waiting for the sticker on the pig. So I think the price tag has fallen off because I place both items on the counter. So I'm looking everywhere thinking it's attached to me or my child, and I'm searching the whole store because I went everywhere.
The lady starts searching too. And she says something along the lines of "I'm not trying to say you're stealing."
Eventually she sees that the pig has been sitting in front of her this whole time. She apologized but that was it. I kind of felt like a criminal, now that I'm looking back on what happened yesterday.
For this reason I probably won't be back. Who wants to feel like they're being watched like a hawk. Anyone who knows me knows I'm a very honest person. I just wanted to buy some things for my son.
And know the lady doesn't know me, but please make me feel like you're giving me the benefit of the doubt.
The store has quite a good selection of children's clothes and clothes for moms (not maternity clothes) too. It's very small and a little crowded, especially yesterday when there were bags of items that looked like they were still in the process of being organized on the floor surrounding the counter. There were a lot of shoes too.
Despite my experience, I'd say it's still a good place to check out when you want to buy children's clothing on the cheap. As for me, I'm crossing it off my list. read more
