I walked out of this store today very shocked at how unpleasantly I had just been treated. Honestly, I didn't expect such unfriendliness in a shop that specialises in yoga/meditation equipment and promotes "peace" on its front door. I had gone in to buy a meditation cushion for my daughter's kita teacher and took my two daughters with me to help choose. Firstly, the man complained to us because my daughter was disordering his display cushions. To be fair, she was playing with them as a typical child would and not sedately testing them out as customers probably do normally, but she wasn't being wild or causing any damage that couldn't easily be rearranged. Nonetheless, his comment made me feel awkward, as it always does when people make it clear that they find your children an inconvenience. I asked my daughter to stop and planned to reorganise the cushions when we were finished. However, before I had a chance to make up my mind on which cushion I wanted to buy, his female colleague spoke to me in quite an unfriendly manner and pointing to where my two children were playing quietly on the cushions said very rudely, 'Can you clear up that mess?!' I should note that there was no one else in the store so it wasn't as if my daughters or the "mess" were disturbing other customers. Too shocked even to respond and feeling quite upset (which in turn worried my daughters), I simply cleared up the cushions and we left the shop. I think the woman realised she'd been a bit remiss because my smallest daughter started to cry and she tried to talk to her, but by that point the gesture didn't feel very genuine. It's rather sad that keeping their display cushions tidy is more important than having the grace to show kindness and a little bit of tolerance to a mother and two children who stepped in with good will. I hope that by leaving this review they might reflect upon the way they made me feel today and treat future customers with more respect. But it still remains a disappointing experience, especially because I now have no gift for my daughter's teacher. :( read more
