The Dells Mining Company is the reason that I went to the Dells. I watched a show on the Travel…read moreChannel about mines that sell buckets that you can sort through to find gems. It looked like fun. I believe that this company buys the buckets of sand and gems from somewhere in South Carolina. You have four options in the price of the buckets, starting at $15 and going up to $120. You pour the sand into a sifter, place it in the running water trough and look through to find gems. All of the buckets are guaranteed to have a cut gem in a plastic bag inside. It was fun. When you finish sorting you take your goodies inside and someone tells you what you've found. I had a fist-sized rose quartz that is lovely. What wasn't clear was (OMG!) how much it costs to have your gems cut. I had a gigantic garnet in my stash and asked how much it would cost. Um, $650. Nope, not gonna happen in this lifetime. I don't know tons about gems or cuts, but it seems that there is no telling what kind of quality it would be if I did decide to cut it. Then you'd have to pay for the gold setting on top of that. In the end, I decided to have the pre-cut topaz (the one from the bucket in a plastic baggie) set into a pendant. I was already in for $60 for the bucket, so why not? I paid $120 for that. A sucker is born every minute. That day I was definitely a sucker, but I had fun.

After much deliberation we found the one we wanted and purchased the floor model at a reasonable price. They not only offered free delivery, they took the old one! That was a huge selling point!

In a matter of about 20 minutes they had the old couch out into the truck and the new one delivered. We high;y recommend Portage Furniture!

The bill was about $250- not an insignificant amount for our splurge but worth it for the treat it was for my grands. Another employee checked us out- time for questionable (VERY UNPROFESSIONAL) tactics- she asked the YOUNG KIDS if they wanted backpacks, I said no, she asked THE KIDS if they wanted boxes, she asked THE KIDS if they wanted gift cards ( we were "eligible for 9 giftcards with our purchase to come back and spend the $90- the catch is that I must pay $45 now for the "$90 giftcards"). I said NO to all the add ons- it felt very sneaky and I was ticked that she would try to use the children to increase the sale. Never again at this location.

When they did they promptly rang up my three items. They told me the total. I paid by card. My total was $78.96. She asked if I wanted my receipt. I said yes. She put it in the bag. When I checked it later I was surprised to see my total was $82.00. I assume she added a tip for herself. I don't think ringing up my items was deserving of a tip and I was not asked in anyway if I would give her a tip. She just decided how much to take from me. That was dishonest and I wonder how many people especially those who decline the receipt are tipping a cashier? Be sure to get a receipt. I told everyone for the rest of my trip that I wanted one. I tip for service. Not for someone to ring up my items. I picked out the stuff without assistance. When I pump my gas and I pay the cashier I don't tip them.
