Made By Hand Crystals

Stopped in this store hoping to pick up some great bargains after seeing several signs outside advertising 50–90% off EVERYTHING. I was excited thinking I could purchase so many wonderful things for friends and family. I was even more excited when I noticed no one was in the store. I walked in and was greeted by the owner, who thoughtfully suggested I step back outside and wait at the red line. After stepping away to check the other window, he graciously reappeared about five minutes later and invited me into the store. What excellent customer service! It was truly a wonderful experience being given so many specific rules to follow while shopping. Wouldn’t it be wonderful if more stores adopted this fabulous business model? I especially appreciated being able to relax without touching merchandise. I loved the trust-building exercise of keeping my hands at my sides at all times. It was also refreshing to browse items without the burden of knowing their prices. Shopping is so much more enjoyable when cost is a mystery! Unfortunately, I had to leave because each time the owner entered my space I felt smothered by his presence. I can’t wait to return to the Trumbull Mall, enjoy a nice meal at the Cheesecake Factory and then happily walk right past this place 😊

“Can’t polish a turd.” Bizarre rules to stand in line outside, be escorted in for “touchless shopping” per employee directions today. Can’t touch a tshirt or fake crystals. How do I look for my mood ring sizes to buy one if I cannot touch them? Cool appearance of store. Today: mall opened 11:30ish. I am alone and wait to go in for 1st time. At 12, as walking up, dude employee is locking door/leaving. Says brb. 10 mins later, allows me to come in. I was able to look at 1full table of the decent sized store with him yapping my ear off to be told he really has to “go to washroom but if I come back later he will give me something complimentary” at 12:25. 15 mins to look at less than quarter of store with hands behind back and leaving my open diet coke can unattended (concerning for women) at a table by the door. I will never go again, will tell everyone in line it’s fake over-priced items anyway and the images attached are the instructions he told me while waiting to be let in to “share with my friends.”
