Definitely "QUAINT little shop"... Lady who runs the shop, a bit "quirky" LOL...probably...lol...
BUT rude...NEVER, ...UNLESS it was warranted...LOL!
Stop in and say "Hi"...to Pam (lady who DOES know how to run a cute 'FUN' little business), Pete ("her male counterpart" for over 48 YEARS!!!), and THE OFFICIAL GREETER...'Winston' (He's the star of the shop, better said, "the boss". He has his own FAN CLUB-both two & four legged!!!). If I remember correctly, Andrew T. didn't seem to like 'Winston'...but, 'Winston' was as nice to Andrew, as he is to EVERYBODY. You can see 'Winston' on the Facebook page for Gifts A'la Mode, Austin, Texas, USA.
BTW - Pam and Pete DID let Andrew T. KNOW that they were closing...in fact they were bringing things (display) in from the porch, lights HAD BEEN turned off. We had to turn BACK ON for Andrew. The Magic cards were priced at fifty (50) for only $5.00; ten (10) cents each! Sorry if we did not want to have to stay any later. It was after 6pm on a Saturday night. We had been open since 9am. Andrew was told that if he needed to go through his app to find ones "worth" buying, he would need to come back when he would have plenty of time.
Sorry that a situation like THIS needs to be explained...BLUNTNESS is not rudeness.
Business is ALWAYS APPRECIATED. read more
