I didn't see a sign stating "you break it you buy it" but if there's not one there should be. Walking the aisles here is like standing in a buffet line it's difficult to navigate this place and it seems like most customers are just looking so the most open spaces in this shop are around the cash registers. I didn't my find my refrigerator magnet I was looking for but there are plenty more shops to explore. I like to stroll the aisles like I'm running into a grocery store to get a loaf of bread, I'm not a window shopper and I definitely don't need to pick up and admire everything and comment on the prices. The big question is would I return, of course I would, are you kidding me it's air conditioned and a great spot to cool down...

I wanted to keep my olive oil on my counter in it so I asked if there was lead in the paint and was assured no lead. Today I was about to wash it before using and I could see something dark inside, I looked inside with a flashlight and could see that the ceramic coating did not coat the inside completely, about 1/3 was raw uncoated, so I cannot use it. Highly disappointed considering what I paid for it. If you go there check carefully before purchasing. Now I can only use it for display, not what I wanted it for.
