Two Hands Paperie — Attraction in Boulder

The store was wonderful, and my friends and family frequent the place. At the same time, I was witness to an event, which consisted of a young lad who was going to purchase some supplies. He was told by someone with him there was something in his teeth, and went to wipe it away with his sleeve. A worker who I would later find out to be a manager, asked he touch nothing more in the store and he sanitize his products. They discussed briefly, and before I left, I heard the words “I would hate to have to get the police involved.” (I do admit it is possible I misheard the woman, yet if bystanders hear that when an employee is lecturing a customer, the employee needs to be better at explaining themselves.) The boy paid for his items and left, after which I expressed my condolences, and shock about her remark. Half an hour later I phoned the store, to express my dismay at the rudeness of the individual. To which the woman at the other end proclaimed herself to be the woman who had been so rude, and accused me of being the boy, and was quite rude to me herself, before attempting to cross-examine me about various things regarding myself and where I was in the store at the time.

The store is a great place, but this woman ruined the entire atmosphere, and I would hate for anyone else to have to go through...

Made an appointment yesterday and got to shop a little bit in Two Hands Paperie.. one of my favorite stores in Boulder, and we always have to make a stop there when we are in town! They have fancy pens, journals, papers, ribbons, stickers, cards, unique office supplies, handmade watercolor, books, photo albums.. you name it!

Yesterday I bought a card, some handmade papers, a lichtenstein journal, a sticker, some pens, a shimmery watercolor disk, and a clock face to collage with. I always find such neat things that I walk out of there buying way more than I came for ....and with a pretty long wishlist in mind for the next trip up!

If you are a crafter, writer, journalist, reader.. or if you are looking for a really nice pen as a gift for a writer or business person.. or want some unique paper to wrap a gift up in with a fancy cut of ribbon(s) to make a bow.. or a unique hand-made card.. this place has you covered! You can't go wrong here,...

Not accepting cash... wanting to write down my payment info with a promise to "destroy" it later. Because a card reader was down. Then saying we should shut down the store incase someone's card declines while I'm browsing high end fountain pens. Like i cant afford a pen or two ;/ And I was really the only one in the front of the store. So I left... I've spent quite a bit with your business alone buying 11 pens in less then a few months time, To hear a comment like like makes me not want to shop here any longer and I most likely will give my business to an online retailer. Im really disappointed in my experience today, I literally came in to purchase 2 pens and ink ect and probably would have got something for myself too. But I was basically ushered out the store like a peasant who couldn't afford a pen because I didn't want to have my credit cards information jotted down freely and they refused cash because tax is too difficult...
