I tried twice to work with this florist for my wedding flowers and both times was treated very rudely by the owner Paula. Both times I was a walk in but if they were unable to accommodate a client for a very simple order (one bridal bouquet and a boutineer) and unwilling to set up an appointment then I really do not understand how I could work with them. When I asked about a specific flower I was told that she did not like them (orchids) and when I asked for alternatives she showed me an example that was $180. When I asked if she could do something looser and smaller and asked for a price she said she did not work that way. When I asked if I should come back on a better day with some example photos she said I could bring in photos but they are usually too ugly. At this point I was totally exasperated. I really wanted them to do my flowers but she at no point offered any way for me to work with her. I know people who used her shop 3 or so years ago and report such different experiences and I was really excited to use them - which was why I went back a second time after being treated about as abruptly the first time I walked in. I am so disappointed. At this point I will use another company and suggest that this shop look into hiring someone who can effectively manage sales or customers, Paula obviously cannot.

If you're looking for a great selection of unique eyewear and fantastic service, look no further. Great eye exam as well, Dr. Rubin is thorough and patient. I'm very satisfied. Paris West Optical is the best!

I have a pair of Aerosoles I like. I got them at a discout store. So recently when I was in the mall and needed some shoes I checked out the Aerosoles store. Big mistake. I walked up to the salesperson, a tall, willowy young lady talking to a group of friends, with a shoe in my hand asked if it came in a wide size. She actually perceptibly looked me up and down, said, "No," and turned back to her friends. I proceeded upstairs to Naturalizer, where someone let me get to my next question, which was I'll take it in the next half size up, and walked out of there with over $600 worth of shoes and boots. (Having worked at home for several years, I had recently taken an in-office management position and needed an entire wardrobe of shoes. Guess you lost out, Aerosoles.) Naturalizer has awesome customer service and I recommend them highly.

What can I say, it's a Hallmark store with the same stock as every other Hallmark store. I felt compelled to write though because I really don't like it. I go in there a lot because they happen to be close to my house (and I am always late shopping for cards). They always seem overstaffed and the salespeople tend to pounce on you as soon as you walk in the door. How many people need help picking out a card? It seems like there are always friends of salespeople in there talking loudly and standing in the aisles, it is is always very hot and stuffy in there and it seems like there is always annoying music playing (last time I was in there it was country music, I mean hardcore, not middle-of-the-road stuff, definitely some salesperson's preference, and there was some really strong, unpleasant air freshener thing happening too). It's hard to linger and choose a card or a gift, I always end up wanting to get out of there as quickly as possible.

love this little jewel of a bookstore. I have never gone in when I have not been pleasantly surprised to find something unusual, they have so much. The owner is very friendly & knowledgeable. They do carry used books so I have always been able to find older things I was looking for too.
