Yesterday was my dear mother's birthday. Schultz went above and beyond to deliver a fantastic gift…read moreset of flowers and balloons for her. They were trying to reach her in order to make sure they could deliver it to her personally. In this cold weather, they wanted to make sure they didn't leave the flowers outside so they could succumb to the cold. My mom, being the party animal she is, was way too busy, having a good time, and missed the call. The folks at Schultz called me and kept me updated about what was keeping them from delivering the flowers, which I totally appreciated. By the end of the day, they found my mother. When she saw the flowers and gift set, it refortified why I am her favorite son. For all my future flower deliveries, Schultz will be my go-to.

I stopped in today to check out pricing for a bridal bouquet. The lady at the desk said she's not…read moredoing weddings because she's booked solid in July. Too clarify, in case it mattered, I said that I needed just one bouquet. I am not a florist, so at this point, I'm guessing that one bouquet might not be comparable to handling a whole wedding. She restated she's not doing weddings because she did have the bandwidth. I said ok and headed for the door. No biggy. Then she said to other ladies, "Did you hear her?! I said no and she kept asking." Are you kidding how rude and unprofessional?! You should never mock potential customers! In fact, I would've approached that encounter like, "So sorry I'm totally booked. Congratulations on your special day! I see you brought your holder with you. What are your colors or what flowers do you like? You could try making it yourself. You'd need to soak the foam overnight and space the flowers out like so, and include greenery too,"or something to this degree. Any type of way would've been better than choosing to be unkind. Be wary of this place Valpo.

I love Hallmark and I'm an avid collector. I am a KOC member and make a Wishlist every year. I buy…read morea lot of ornaments at the ornament premier in July. I visited many Hallmark stores and usually enjoy every one. I visited the location at 310 Porters Vale Blvd in Valparaiso Indiana just a few days ago and everyone was very friendly. The assistant manager helped me with my ornaments, and we were talking about family. It was a nice visit. She even said she had remembered me from the year before. I told her I would be back for the 75% off sale and she welcomed me to come back. I went back in yesterday when the ornaments went on sale and was buying a lot of items. My family, sisters, and daughter-in-law all share these ornaments. They get passed around and we split the cost and each pick what we want. We do it every year and have such a fun time. These also make wonderful gifts! As I was adding my items to my cart a store employee was pulling an online order. She asked me several times if I had the items she was looking for. She said I'm trying to pull online orders as if I was doing something wrong. She asked me once again I had one specific ornament that she was looking for. I replied that I did. She said how many. I said I'm not sure as you have them held behind the counter for me, but I believe it was only one. She said I need it for my online order. I just looked at her and didn't respond. I was honestly over it at this point and just wanted to leave. I felt unwanted and I also feel that if I have that ornament in my cart and it is not on the shelf you should not be asking me about it. The person who checked me out was a different person and wonderful which is typical of Hallmark. I don't know what the problem was today with this Hallmark employee, but I don't think I'll be headed back to this location.
