    We came in to this store to find a gift for a good friend. This is your average stationary and…read moregifts store. They have lots of beautiful journals, notepads, calendars, gift wrapping, pens, and all of the things that you would expect from such a store. They also have some hand made soaps and lotions, and some very beautiful tea sets. The way that we were greeted was very odd, it actually felt like we were imposing, because of the urgency in the woman's voice. She had her purse on her shoulder, so I thought that maybe she was on her way out and we were infringing upon her scheduled break, but her purse remained on her shoulder the entire time we were there, so I guess it's just how she liked it, and so I dismissed her initial tone as something that had nothing to do with us...even though it felt oddly deliberate. My daughter and I began browsing and talking back and forth as we saw items that grabbed our interest. While we were doing this, the woman with her purse on her shoulder kept coming right up to us and loudly talking over us to tell us about this item or that item, and I politely thanked her each time, even though I couldn't understand what exactly she was saying about these items because my daughter was also mid sentence with me, each time. I continued to thank her and attempted to get eye contact, but she couldn't or wouldn't look me in the eye. She finally stopped bombarding us and allowed us to browse and we could finally hear each other. This entire exchange seemed to serve no useful purpose since she kept talking at us, and not to us, and she kept choosing to talk at us while we were talking to each other. Instead of feeling like an attempt to communicate, it felt like she was being disruptive and rude. In fact, I did not get the sense that she wanted to be helpful in any way. It felt like she was judging us as potential shop lifters and she wanted to make sure that we knew she had her eyes on us. Now the odd tone that I heard in her voice when she was 'greeting' us made sense. While my daughter was trying to decide between getting stationary or body lotions another patron entered the store. The woman with her purse was warm and very welcoming to him. It was a very stark contrast to the tone, words, and facial expressions that we were given. Also, there was a second elderly woman watching us like a hawk the entire time and she asked my daughter where the University that was represented on her T-shirt was located. She then asked her in a very condescending tone if she went to that University (she's a high school student, and looks young for her age) and my daughter, in her soft spoken way, let her know that I was the one who attended. This was a very awkward exchange, and again, it felt like we were being judged and looked down upon. We made our selection, observed the good prices, and then we left. My daughter looked at me and said that it was a very "weird" shopping experience. While we were able to find a gift and make a purchase, we felt very conflicted as we were shopping because of the contradictory vibes. If someone's facial expression is foul when they see you, then the seemingly welcoming words that come from their mouths fall flat. There was a condescending attitude and I felt as though we were grudgingly tolerated, but not actually welcome. We'll never step foot in that store again. The good thing is that they have nothing that can't be found elsewhere.

    Wonderful items, really good prices. I always try to go here…read morefor my greeting cards, but while I was in there today, I noticed lots of Christmas items (the ones that are typically higher end collectibles) at some amazing prices - much of it is 50% off. I also browsed some other items and ended up buying a very nice, good quality picture frame that would have been more expensive at Michael's! The store has been around for 56 years, according to the lady working there, and the service is tops - she even wrapped a gift I was buying for a baby shower.....now what store does that anymore?

    I usually avoid the independents who sell from kiosks in malls but I stopped at Precision Time &…read moreGifts, attracted by the variety of timepieces displayed. I was surprised that their pricing for a titanium Casio Pathfinder was about $50 under Kohl's $288 sale price. Who can resist a deal like that? And proprietor Ben was very enthusiastic and fun to deal with so I bit. The next day, I stopped by to resolve a problem I was having with the volume of the alarm on my new watch. It was just about inaudible. When I asked to listen to another watch just to see if the problem was endemic to the model or just to my watch, Ben was openly resistant, strongly suggesting that I call Casio's 1-800 number or visit their website. Huh. He eventually let me listen to another like-model (it's endemic to all Casio Pathfinders, apparently, so stay away if you depend on an alarm or countdown timer!) but was very cool at that point and pretended to be busy elsewhere (a real talent considering the cozy size of the kiosk!). If you want a great deal on a watch, check this place out. But don't expect any better service than you would get from a Manhattan street vendor hawking watches out of a raincoat.

    Growing up I knew a lot about time. My dad sold them and fixed them. I was the kid in school that…read morehad five total watches on at one time. When it came to the 21st century watches, I'm mediocre-up-to-date with the pieces. I was in need of a high grade time piece for multi-purpose use in the military. It has to be able to sustain heavy duty usage. With this in mind, I went to Sherwood mall in hunt of a wrist watch. I had Zumiez in mind but before I could even get in there. I immediately walked over to this watch kiosk. There were a ton of watches to choose from and the particular watch, I was eyeballing was the G-shock. I was helped by a very friendly lady at the counter. Unsure if she knew much about the specifications on the watches, I threw my questions straight at her. I first asked if there were anything better than a G-shock for my type of use. And she rebuttals with "why not G-shock?" At that point, I was sold on G-shock. My military buddies had it and its just what the Navy Seals use. She said she's sold many G-shock to former and active Navy Seals in her day. I didn't know which is the best of the G-shock to get. I simply told her this. I need it for swimming. I need it for running. and I will need it to be extremely strong, reliable and light weight. She quickly grabbed two G-Shock watches. Both look extremely high tech. She then tells me the specification of each watch and what they can do. I was absolutely blown away by not simply the watches but her knowledge of them. Wow. She stated she has been dealing watches for twenty years and reads the manuals for the books on her free time along with fixing them. She saved me time from going into other shops to look for watches. In less than ten minutes, I was sold for a $220 solar powered, light weight military grade G-shock watch. It was exactly what I was looking for. I went home to do more research on the watch I bought and everything about it was exactly what she has said. Other third party reviews on the same watch were superb. I was a satisfied customer simply because of the friendly, knowledgeable service she provided.
