Seriously angry person who took whatever their problems were out on me. I literally asked one polite question (whether they had another version of the thing I was looking at) and got barked at. This person needs to find another job. Prices are very high here, but I probably would have paid them if I had been treated with even basic civility.

I visited this boutique recently and had a very disturbing experience. During my conversation with…read moreone of the salespeople, they made openly antisemitic remarks about Jewish people. It was completely unprovoked, inappropriate, and deeply offensive. No customer should be subjected to this kind of hateful language, and it made me extremely uncomfortable. I want others to be aware of my experience before choosing to shop here. There are plenty of businesses on Kauai that treat all people with respect--unfortunately, this was not one of them during my visit.

I had frequented Blue Ginger (Kuku-Ola shopping center) every time I visited Kauai! I have several…read moredresses! However, my recent visit wasn't as usual. The customer service wasn't the same. Twice this week on two separate visits I experienced very poor customer service. The first visit found myself and only one other customer in the store. As I was browsing, the employee was chatting with another customer about her divorce, her two son. I they had biblical names. Anyway, everything was about her divorce and her sons, not once did she stop to ask if I needed help. I continued to browse, and she never approached me. Fast forward a couple days, Thursday I checked the website for hours, which indicated 9:00 a.m. I knocked on the door, the employee looked up and ignored my knock. So I called to see if they would be opening soon, no answer! Employee can still see me I knocked one more time and she looked up gestured her hand as to flipping/shooing me away! I tried to make eye contact gesturing with my hands two five (10:00) she continued to shoo me away with her hand. Honestly, all she had to do was simply tell me when they would be opening. I felt she was very rude, and unprofessional. I've spent a lot of money in their establishment, told my friends too. However, I will no longer spend my $$$$ at any Blue Ginger.

(I think it was my fault...between the rum I drank downstairs & my crazy 15 family members, somehow I lost the bag & he paid cash. We thought the necklaces were gone forever. I called the hotel, rum factory, nothing.. I go BACK to Kauai 2 months later thru a series of WEIRD & RANDOM events, the universe blessed me this year, & I was back in this store w/ my mom (who wasn't on the last trip). As we walk in, I'm explaining to her the story "we bought & lost 2 necklaces from here & ended up buying duplicates on Etsy b/c I felt so bad." The lady who works there (I'm sure the owner) says "you lost 2 necklaces here 2 months ago? Hold on a second...." PULLS OUT 2 BOXES. In my head I'm like "no, no, this is not real, you're mistaken, this is someone else's box." But NO! IT WAS OUR 2 NECKLACES! Someone from downstairs found them & brought them back up to the store. They kept them for 2 months! Even though he paid cash. Most people would have taken the $100 & resold them. Free money. But this owner did not. The integrity of this store is such a rarity in this day & age. A true, honest, kind gem! They are just good people. I will always come back here when I go to Kauai. And yes...these necklaces were way better quality than the ones from Etsy! HA! I also bought more items that are gorgeous. Thank you so much! XO Lacei
