There is no reason the owner could not temporarily pause the conversation and greeted my mother and I.
Love love love this bead shop! Have taken two classes there in the past couple of weeks. Excellent instructors and a wonderful array of beads, findings and tools to choose from. Five stars! Highly recommend!
Needless to say upon visiting the island again I will not waist my time. The selection was okay, nothing like the selection I am use to at home but I did find one or two small bead shell beads that caught my eye, but I was not about to patronize a business that did not seem to even want me in their store.
Friendly, very knowledgeable, very helpful. Need her back in NC.
I forgot to add the customer before us were speaking very loudly about this woman and her store having a stellar reputation and she is by far the best bead store in town. I would have loved to continue the accolades but unfortunately that was not at all what I experienced at all. Just maybe I would have received better service if I was not kissed by the sun (meaning chocolate in skin color).
Friendly and knowledgable owner!
Note to the owner: Always greet your customers (its never killed anyone to be friendly). Also, It doesn't hurt to give your customers a quick explanation on how to shop your store. Being negligent on one or both of these things will surely cost you a sale.
Amazing store! Can’t wait to go back!
Each time I travel I always find a local bead shop to pick up some cool finds to bring back home. My family and I drove over 35 minutes to this place since it had such stellar reviews online. Once we arrived the owner was busy with another couple that seemed to frequent the shop. There was not greeting what so ever. My mother and I stayed in the shop for about 15 minutes. The owner continued to talk to the other couple for almost the entire time that we were there, after the couple finally left maybe 13 minutes into us being there the owner still took her time to speak. Eventually she did say hello and said if we have any questions to let her know. By that point, I was already ready to walk out the door.
I have never received such horrible service, most of the time when you enter a bead shop you are greeted and are made aware of how to notate the items you would like to purchase since the items are so small. It took my mom and I some time to figure out there were clipboards with little paper sheets to notate the items.
