This review is for the Starbucks cafe inside of Barnes & Noble. While the young staff of the cafe…read morewas pleasant, I was met with a very condescending & rude employee that I can only describe as female, mid-50s, heavy set with glasses + salt & pepper hair. And this was after I had already spent nearly $14 in the cafe on a sandwich, dessert item, and triple expresso. The only reason why I stopped at B&N in the first place was that I didn't want the nearby KwikTrip coffee, nor did I want to drive a few miles into downtown Appleton on this day. I was fatigued, and needed a good caffeine burst right away. Enter Starbucks cafe inside of B&N, which was the nearest venue close to my hotel next to the Fox River Mall. After ordering my food items and required triple expresso (my gold standard) from an incredibly polite twenty-something college female barista, I get this sneer from Ms. Grumpy Dumpy from her table as she was apparently on her break. I smile, of which she never changes her expression. It was as if I had ran over her dog or something with the look she was giving me. I wanted to ask the friendly barista "WTF is wrong with Mount Rushmore over there?" I thought nothing of it at further, so I didn't make it an issue. A few minutes later, the second barista (twenty-something male) indicated that my food order as ready, I waited patiently as my drink order was being prepared by barista #1. Ms. Large Marge decides to end her break, walk over to the counter to assert her authority. Without even looking at me, she picks up my coffee, and says "Here you go", then proceeds to nearly throw it onto the counter. Sort of stunned, I'm thinking "What in thee hayle just happened?" I wasn't in the mood to make this an issue, since I was tired. In addition, the two younger baristas were in stark contrast to their manager, considering how pleasant they were to me. As I start walking away toward the exit of B&N while shaking my head in disgust, I overhear the rude manager say "Next time, don't give him so much expresso." I so wanted to tell her that I had a triple expresso, and that if she had paid attention in 3rd grade math class, the volume of three expresso shots would be a larger quantity than one traditional expresso shot. Altogether, this experience motivated me to seek out better coffee venues in Appleton, mainly downtown and close to Lawrence University. Thanks to the awful attitude that I experienced from the Starbucks cafe manager inside of this B&N, I'll certainly never return to the cafe again no matter how bad my caffeine urges are. This manager is definitely not management material. If you don't like your job, fine. Don't take out your job frustrations on the consumer.

They told us we could pick out what we wanted (painting pottery or melting glass together). I ended up selecting a small vase and I went to town on finding the right colors. We all really enjoyed painting out respective pieces and it was actually harder than I thought! I used a bunch of different-sized brushes so I could get the right amount of detail for certain parts of my design. There weren't very many staff members around to help if we had any questions, but I honestly can't think of any questions we might have. It's pretty straightforward: pick out your piece, pick out your paint, and go to town painting it! One of my sisters later picked up the box of all our decorated pieces, so I didn't have any more interaction with the employees there. I had a really fun experience here; there's nothing quite like relaxing with a paintbrush and hanging out with friends, even if you're no Van Gogh. Tips: Be sure to check the little swatch that shows you how the paint colors turn out after being fired up in the kiln. I wasn't observant enough, and my vase turned out a robin egg blue when I was expecting a royal blue. Also, I recommend writing your name on the bottom, just in case!

Upon arrival to their house we got it out of the truck to inspect it. Upon inspection we noticed that 2 legs on one of the chairs was broken, the table is missing the center leaf. We called the store to address the issue and see if possibly the leaf was left there on accident. They then advised us that there wasn't anything left there for that table and chair set. So we asked them if we could return it for a full refund and they said that that's not possible. Even after addressing the issues they still refuse to process a full refund. The girl at the store said it was donated and they don't think it came with one. The girl also said that we could donate it or sell it on fb. The table honestly isn't worth more than 40$. So therefor in my opinion they falsely advertised an item for sale without addressing that it was missing a very crucial part of the table. My parents bought that table because they are adopting their grandchildren and needed a bigger table to accommodate everyone. My parents were taken advantage of and this business refuses to fix the problem. I simply want a refund for the money my parents paid.

I think I paid $4 or less at another thrift store. I've seen the same item several times for around $10 at the antique malls. The Echoes tag says this item goes for up to $35 online. This isn't even true. I checked the recent eBay sold listings and it's actually selling for around $6-$8. This store also attempted to sell two fully decorated Christmas trees with storage containers for $300 each. Do you go to a small Christian thrift store looking to spend $300? I don't. The tree has sat there since November. It's now the "bargain price" of $100, four days before Christmas. Most people are not looking to buy a decorated tree this close to Christmas. Had it been priced at $100 - instead of $300 - back in November then maybe it would have sold!?
