Had a strange experience here last time. The cashier's face turned fire engine red when I talked to her about a product we were buying. I swear to Peter, Paul and Mary, Spencer Gifts employees and Victoria's Secret sales associates are a lot less easily flustered. You work in an adult novelty store that sells everything from lube to toys to porn to greeting cards, a married couple -- MARRIED COUPLE, mind you -- comes in wanting to buy something, and they come to you with questions about a certain item... if you're so embarrassed by customers approaching you with a question, then maybe don't work here? Just a thought. It is your job to make the shopping experience as comfortable for the customers as possible. We don't feel awkward in this type of situation, but others might, and so you really can't be a shrinking violet, or fazed by questions about this type of merchandise, if you are in this line of work. Otherwise, what's the point?
Also, right after we finished paying, another customer who didn't seem to know where she was asked my husband for a jump-start on her car (when we came in, we noticed her looking at the merchandise and she seemed a bit weirded out or didn't seem to know what was what). And this is a standalone store, and she was parked close. It's not like she came from two stores down after she couldn't find anyone to help her jump-start her car.
I do like this place more than Annabelle's Adult Supercenter (which does lean more toward the trashy side, if I'm being honest), but overall, a really weird experience that we do not want repeated, when and if we decide to return. read more
