  • "However, I wasn’t acknowledged even slightly the whole time I was there."
  • "I asked for help for some crystals I was looking for, but instead of leading me to where I can find the crystal or show me, they just point and just say 'Over there' and nothing else."
  • "They don't even help you around the store, they just stare as you look around."

  • "They also have a real great loyalty program."

Cons:

  • "The rewards card is very rigged because you have to spend $50 (which doesn't make sense cause i spent 20 but whatever)."
  • "They incentivize people to leave a 5-star review with a $5 discount or if you go on Yelp they enter you into a 'raffle'."
