One thing about me is I love to rifle through oodles of stuff. I like yard sales garage, sales, vintage stores, consignment, shops, Goodwill, Salvation Army, swap, meats, flea markets, pulgas, bin stores , if I could rifle around like a raccoon in the trash, but I'm content if I find some bad ass fines while rifling, but I'm happy, if I get them for a fantastic deal that I'm absolutely ecstatic. I've only always been one of those shoppers that has to touch nearly everything icy whether I plan on buying it or not if it's something that scented I have to smell it if it's something that has an usual texture, I have to rub it or put it up against my face or something to see what kind of tact sensations it has if it's something that makes music like those annoying figurines during the holiday season that sing, you know Christmas jingles that I have to press the button all the buttons. actually I'll press every single toy that's on and then I'm able to place some music from. I'll put them all on to the horror of mini store associates, I like to try things on if I'm not sure I'm gonna buy them or if I know flat out I'm definitely not gonna buy them. I still want to try them on although look at this like it's a bad thing I don't look at shopping like it's a necessity just to get goods, I look at it like it's an experience, I like to look at everything touch everything make all kinds of decisions using critical, thinking, try to get the best bargain. I can chitchat with the people that work there possibly even other customers in the store, if there's cool people that happen to meet, I know this sounds horrible and you're probably thinking that I'm really materialistic and maybe it's partially true, because I do like material comforts, and pretty things, and stuff that smells good, and stuff that feels good on my skin, and things taste good, but my favorite is experiences that I've never had before to me that is the ultimate experience to see something or hear something or smell something or touch something that I've never done previously. Also, I like to be able to find something that I know someone I care about will absolutely love that way I could surprise them with it, so it's not really shopping it's more like treasure hunting I think I miss my calling as I think I would've been at fantastic buyer for a chain store or a department store or consignment shop or a boutique or something so instead of doing professionally, I do it recreationally.
That me rattling on about myself, I know that you're on yelp to find out about the quality, selection, Customer Service, location, prices, variety of goods, and if it's a good value to spend your hard earned money at an establishment. I wanted to give it background on why I was so excited to find the red rooster in new Braunfels. It says antique mall on the outside and there is a lot of antiques in there, but not dusty old smells like mothballs type of antiques there is no bowling alley employee shirts from 1972 incomplete sets of Christmas ornaments or tattered Halloween costumes from the 1980s. Parentheses not that that would put me off in the slightest if there was however this particular store had much better offerings inside when I walked in I spoke to Mary to put my purse behind the counter because they prefer you not to walk around with big bags or purses, which makes sense since the store is so large and there's so much stuff in it it would be hard for their loss prevention to know if you're sticking things into your huge bag so tell me to give it to her. I made sure that I already did, that way my hands were also free to examine all the merchandise better. I don't want to get into too much of what my personal shopping was there instead, I will give you a brief inventory of what I happened to see on this day which was February 29 Lead year 2024. I went inside the store around 430 or so p.m., upon arriving I left my bag with Mary. Home had fantastic customer service skills, and I felt safe enough to leave my bag behind the counter with her. it is my first time in there shopping and she told me what booths had discounts as it turned out that day. There was three booths that had 20% discounts listed. read more
