Don't shop here. I want to start out by saying that I was actually really looking forward to coming…read moreto this store. I had walked by a few times and spotted through the window some watercolor workbooks and I really wanted to buy them, but each time it was closed. On my forth time trying I finally saw the store open and I excitedly went in to look at the watercolor books. As soon as I walked in to inspect the books by the door, I felt bad vibes. I got the sense that everyone who worked there was staring at me like they expected me to run out with the books I was holding. A few moments later, I felt a presence behind me. It was one of the workers, a middle-aged woman that physically stood between me and the door and was hovering around without saying a word. I ignored them as I continued flipping through the books trying to narrow down my choices. The entire time this person stood right behind me, and only after several minutes did they ask if I needed help in a sarcastic tone, which felt to me as if they did not expect me to be seriously considering purchasing their items. I said no thank you. They continued to stand there and pretend to straighten the front area for over 5 minutes while I considered my choices. I finally picked out what I wanted and I got a good look at the rest of the store. I noticed a man with the glasses at the register eyeing me and a younger woman pretending to not be staring at me, in addition to the lady still standing by the door. Also in the store was a group of tourists speaking French, and another at the register, and yet none of the workers were even paying them any attention: their entire focus was on me. I have never felt so clearly unwelcome and eyed so suspiciously -- and I grew up as one of the few Latino people living in Carmel, a central coast town known for being filled with wealthy, elderly Caucasian residents. Initially, I bought my book to prove a point that I still had every right to be there, though I left feeling shaken, shocked, and angry. I just couldn't believe how I had been treated after being so excited to come to this store. A few days later after some reflection, I came back to the store to return my purchase because I decided I wasn't going to support a store that so obviously racially profiles people like me. I told the workers what happened and why I was returning my item (some were different employees, but a few I recognized from my initial visit). Instead of providing customer service, they proceeded to gaslight me about the experience I had, and with a straight face tried to tell me that they couldn't racially profile because they are also PoC (Asian). Then, to my surprise, out of the back room came Sue Fisher King herself. She was generous enough to talk with me, and I do really appreciate that gesture. That being said, she tried to brush the whole thing off as a misunderstanding. I respectfully disagree. Ms. King said that in her 40 years in the business she's never had a complaint like mine. I don't find this to be a compelling argument, as I almost didn't return to complain either. If you're a dark-skinned person like myself, racial microaggressions like these can be as exhausting as they are traumatizing. She and her workers told me all about how this is a high crime area and that it is protocol to stand by the door if there are a lot of customers in the store, and that they watch everyone. Including the French tourists (that they were not watching), and someone at the register, I was the fourth customer in the store, but the only one who seemed to warrant extreme monitoring. I understand the need to be vigilant against theft, as I've worked in retail. However, I do not agree with this tactic that a customer should be treated like a vandalism waiting to happen -- especially if this process becomes highly selective based on race or perceived looks. So there you have it. If you want to feel like a criminal just by walking through the door, come on to Sue Fisher King. And if you're the wrong color you will be watched like a hawk. I know I will not be returning.

Apparently those days are gone. I wanted to buy some nice soap and popped into the store recently to buy some. I arrived late in the afternoon near closing time. Two salespeople were on the floor, a man at the cash register behind the counter and a woman standing at a table leafing through a book and looking very bored. I said I'd come in to buy soap. The man behind the counter told me where it was displayed and gestured to the corner of the store where it was kept, I asked about minimally fragranced soap, he told me which ones to look at. The bored woman walked over to that corner of the store. And stood there. She made no effort to ask for specifics of what I was looking for or to tell me what was on display other than that some soaps were made from honey and others from milk. At one point she took the top off a box of loose soap and immediately put it back again. And then stood there looking bored. I walked out. The message was clear: we're not interested in having you as a customer. It's OK. I don't need to go there to buy expensive soap.

Shocking that this place doesn't have more reviews…read more Negative to zero customer service. We walked around for 20 minutes before we saw a staff member, and that was after diligently looking for them. And it's the kind of place that tells you the prices, but not the full price.

The only associate that seemed to be working, a shorter woman with curly shoulder-length black hair, was in the far back unpacking shipment with what appeared to be two delivery men. We wandered around in the front of the store toward the middle and were never greeted or acknowledged - we were walking around and talking, so I'd be surprised if the store associate didn't recognize we were there. The phone at the sales counter started ringing, so the associate walked out of the back and past both myself and my husband, in two different sections of the store and completely ignored both of us. Not a hello, head nod, middle finger, nothing. She then answered the phone and was condescending to the person on the other end. We simply left; no reason to spend another minute or money in this location. I'd rather she had been rude to us than simply acting as if we didn't exist. We've visited several Jonathan Adler locations and have a lot of his pieces but this visit was epically bad.

Everyone celebrates San Francisco differently. Seeing a celebration for the area code of the city…read moreof San Francisco has been always part of growing up especially during my High School years at Mission High school which happens to be tallest building in front of the Dolores Park. Yes having Dolores Park as your school yard and the place to spend your lunch period and some after school activities was happening all four seasons of the year not just on April 15 or 4/15 now also known as 415 day. The corporations and other entities start capitalizing on some underground fun. Now it's celebrated throughout San Francisco with people wearing items and gear which has something San Francisco on it. How I still celebrate it is going to a park in San Francisco with a favorite adult beverage currently it's a bottle of Pinot Noir for Don Juan Pinot Noir. Whether Dolores Park or Golden Park you can represent all four seasons in San Francisco by visiting that Park Life. On an April stroll in San Francisco finding where to park on Clement street can sometimes be a challenge in San Francisco. You can see people camping out for parking spots on Clement street ( like at Costco in SF). Park Life is a store on Clement street between 3rd and 4th Avenue which has items with themes of San Francisco. You will find art and stationaries. You will also see bags ,clothing, and hats with San Francisco on it that don't look like you picked it up at a souvenir shop at the Tourist trap in SF. You will also find some interesting books inside. There is a small art gallery in the back of the store . This is a good place to get a treat for yourself or grab a gift for others and have fun at a local San Francisco park . Whether it's Golden Gate Park, Duboce Park, McLaren Park, Mount Davison Park, Sue Bierman Park, Lafayette Park, Precita Park, Bernal Heights Park, Alamo Square Park, Washington Square Park, Dolores Park, Franklin Square Park, Presidio Tunnel Tops Park or Glen Park , etc. This place in San Francisco is all about that Park Life.

After a couple of emails I bought the item and went to pick it up a couple of days later. The email experience was excellent, and since it's the way so many of us conduct business now, it left at outstanding first impression. When I arrived at the store I was absolutely in awe at the merchandise. The store is incredibly tiny, but that doesn't stop it from having great things, yet still have plenty of room to move about. Everything in the store, and I mean EVERYTHING, works together in an amazing way. It's very well curated, and there was so much I wanted to just buy and bring home. Another great side note, while the store doesn't stock or sell "cheap" things, the prices are very reasonable for the high-end, ultra-quality items they sell. I'll be keeping my eye on this place and will most certainly pick up more things in the future.
