I just started a business and I'm unfortunately not very happy with what I was told. I needed a lens hood for how I want to shoot, but was refused 3 times. I was told buy filters, my schooling taught me otherwise. They were a little rude and quite arrogant. Hopefully they get their act together and I don't have to go to Calgary for equipment anymore. I'm unsure of the professional education level of the employees, and it makes me uncomfortable to buy equipment or get advice from people who are self taught and are giving advice based around personal bias.

Sadly, the section wasn't actually called "General Fiction" so I ended up looking for 40minutes for it with no help. Some of the staff were just talking and occupied beccause it was busy. Once I finally found someone it took 2 minutes to get it. The reason its 4 stars instead of 3 is beccause I imagine it being a better experience once I revisit and want to give it another chance and its not their fault I'm an idiot.

I've been here many times and never had a single negative experience. When I was shopping for…read moreengagement rings, I went to every jewelry store in town...twice. I did a lot of research into diamonds and engagement ring styles to avoid getting ripped off. Several stores tried to sell me low quality items with highly inflated warranties. Fosters, down the street from Tompkins even treated me like I was worthless because I didn't want to spend $15,000 to $20,000. Tompkins genuinely cared about getting the perfect ring for my fiancee. Flo worked with me to find the perfect design and the best possible diamond to complement it. I felt very comfortable that their first priority was finding me what I wanted, not making a quick buck. They had a ring custom made and placed the diamond. My fiancee loved it. Their aftercare has been great too. Unlike some stores in town, like Fosters, they understand that they will be more successful by cultivating long lasting relationships with their customers. Several of my friends got engaged around the time that I did and I recommended Tompkins without hesitation. I was very happy to hear Tompkins treated them as well as they treated me.

I had the lovely pleasure of designing a one of one engagement ring for my wife. My wife liked the…read moreRing so much she didn't want to spoil it with a wedding band! That's your advertisement right there, 11 out of 10 product, people, and service. Designing the ring was a ton of fun, make sure that you're not in a rush. My wife works in healthcare so the owner had some recommendations that really made the ring come together and not interfere with her work. Little modifications so gloves don't tear when you put them on, making sure her hair never gets caught on the ring, little things like that. Every time I came to the store front I was met with smiles, you can really tell all the employees love their jobs and want nothing but the best for their customers. At the first design meeting I was up front about my budget, and the owner was very respectful and diligent when designing the ring around my budget. It was never brought up a second time. This made the process very enjoyable and stress free as I new exactly how much everything was going to cost. The owner went out of her way to order custom cut diamonds from New York that where so beautiful she bought them knowing that type of diamond doesn't come around very often. After the fact I can come into the store front when ever is most convenient for me and they will clean my wife's ring and give it a quick once over, if there is anything less than perfect they take care of it right away! If you want to spend your hard earned money on a local, multi generational family business, that provides the highest standard of service, provides the highest standard of product, who genuinely takes care of their customers, then Tomkins is a no brainer.

A quick Google search showed 4 different options. From reviewing their websites, I wasn't quite sure if 3 of the shops could help me or how much it would cost. iDeal iRepair's website was very well designed. It was easy to navigate and gave me all of the information I needed to see if they could help me. I dropped by and found a nice, well designed store. The two gentlemen working greeted me immediately (sorry, I didn't get their names). In under 5 minutes, they had replaced my battery and informed me what I needed to do to condition the new battery. They were very friendly and knowledgeable. The whole experience was very impressive. Apple would have charged $79, plus shipping and other fees. Plus, they would have taken my phone for who knows how long. iDeal iRepair charged $50 for the part and service. I absolutely recommend this store. Thanks for the great service!

But this time I was in a rush to get new frames and lenses because my current pair of glasses broke. Tina and all the staff were so very helpful and accommodating and put a rush on the order so it will arrive in days, not weeks. Tina helped me find a perfect pair of frames that fit my face, and was complimentary; (I have a very narrow face that is hard to find frames that are the right size) and I am so happy with what she found for me!

I have been getting my eyes checked regularly and they haven't changed in over a decade. So they are now withhold contacts /glasses if I don't get my routine eye check up. So now I have to walk around unable to see because I can't get more contacts and have no way of booking an apt any time soon for a check up due to financial hardships. I feel like withholding a product because you didn't get your regular eye check up is ridiculous and extremely unfair. Especially for someone who goes regularly and has not had any change. Very frustrating and seems to be a gimmick to get more money out of you. I informed the lady working reception of my concerns and she informed me that she didn't want to deal with the situation/didn't know how and basically avoided all of my concern's. Informed me she would get someone else to call me back (which did not happen) and I am now left to scramble and find another eye doctor and figure out how I am going to manage not being able to see until I can afford an apt at another eye doctors office. If you are planning on going to this eye doctor/clinic I would think again and try some where else!
