3 /5 Sarah King: I really used to like shopping here, particularly at the location downtown when the business first opened. However, since the business has grown and they moved locations, the vibe seems a bit off. I love supporting local businesses and love seeing them thrive. However, it would be nice if the associates were a bit more friendly and didn’t make you feel like a thief by watching every single move you make. It gives “mean girl”/unwelcome energy and it makes the shopping experience awkward. I understand the need to protect the business and I’ve worked retail myself so I understand theft protection, but there’s a way to engage with customers in a way that is pleasant and friendly. I’m neurodivergent and now shopping here just feels too overwhelming. I cut my last trip here short because of how awkward it felt. I felt like I was under a microscope.
