I had a truly terrible experience at this store that still bothers me to this day…read more I liked this store because it was basically on my doorstep, and it had a good selection of cards. After patronizing this place for a while, I was asked not to come back to this store. Naturally I was curious as to why they would do this to a repeat customer. I was told that I had made an employee uncomfortable- by flirting with them!! I was gobsmacked as to why anyone would think that. I'm a talker- I talk to everyone I meet the same way, but this person thought I was flirting with them. Perhaps they have too much main character energy to think that. Perhaps they found my chattiness annoying- not everyone is going to be delighted by me- but why, WHY would they not just tell me they were busy and couldn't talk? Did they feel they were being held hostage? I saw Standard Goods as a neighborhood spot. Keep in mind I wasn't camping out at the store; I'd say my average visit was -20 minutes, and I wasn't there frequently. This just doesn't make any sense to me. I'm forced to consider the possibility they felt ill at ease around me due to my disablity- I'm legally blind and my eyes look different, some people aren't comfortable with that that's their problem. Even if that's not the case, it still really hurt when they asked me not to come back. What is this, high school? Yes, I cried. They made me feel like my presence was a nuisanc. It left an impact. question whether people want me around. There were so many other ways they could have dealt with it and at the same time keep in mind that I was a customer with feelings. I get the distinct sense that they don't care about customers or the community. It's good for managers to take their employees' concerns seriously- Just not like this. Maybe they are extremely nonconfrontational, yet there must have been another way to addrss this without banning me from the store.

There was a wide range of products from scarves to ornaments to baby books and mobiles to soaps to jewelry to home goods in the store that were all of high quality but not crazy expensive like some other fair trade shops have been that I've visited previously. I really liked that they feature handmade product made from various communities around the world, which are easy to read about with their associated products. The staff was friendly and helpful - we found a baby mobile that we wanted to get and they went to the back to see if there were any that were packaged up (aka not the floor model) that we could bring home instead. Checkout was fast and easy (they take credit card) and despite the shop bustling due to it being a weekend we had no problem finding someone to help us with the mobile nor with checkout. Bonus points to the shop for a having a very clean bathroom available for use - knowing that most of the other shops in Ballard don't have this amenity, it's a huge welcome.
