I went to World Market at the Grove on Sunday. What a neat store! It was the 45th anniversary for Hello Kitty y they had emailed me about this. I bought several things to add to my collection. There was wine y hot chocolate sampling, yum. Also, there was a discount on Christmas food items y wine so I got some things to share during the season. If you like the idea of advent calendars, but want to select your own treats they have a 12 day do-it-yourself advent box. Each section is large enough for a small toy or beanie sized plush. Or a soft drink or wine/hard cider type can. Some sections are larger. All are 9+" deep. You really have enough room for a wide array of treats. You could put a piece of jewelry or a wristwatch. For preppers there are lots of smaller items that fit. I do not think I have ever seen this type advent treat before. I wish I had thought of this idea myself, at $7.99 I think it was a bargin. Although I am a member it was my 1st time shopping at the market so I didn't have my # or know what to do with it. The cashier was so pleasant y helpful. She made sure I received all the discounts I was entitled to. I feel terrible that I can't remember her name but my son had already come in 3xs to get me to got eat. Picture your hungry 15yr old. Everyone I spoke to or asked a question of was pleasant y eagar to help. I will be back...
Read moreWith great anticipation my daughter son-in-law and I went to Treble-makers last night... I loved the piano player....we had awesome appetizers...delicious wine but our steaks came without the sides... we could not locate our waitress for a very long time and she finally came back to the table and seemed surprised that we had not received our sides... instead of immediately trying to do something to make our experience positive she treated us as if we were complaining about the flavor of our steaks and she said well you don’t get charged for the sides anyway....She was not willing to make any accommodation because my son-in-law had eaten his steak even though he never got his side of potatoes i on the other hand did not eat my steak and continued to wait for my baked potato therefore she did eventually comp my meal and took my uneaten steak away from me and seemed very annoyed too have had to do anything. With every local newspaper that I receive I read something about the Grove and how there is great anticipation and right now I can’t remember the guys name who owns this place but I cannot imagine this is the kind of reputation he wants to start for himself..... I also spoke to the manager named Bridget I only know her first name because she refused to give me...
Read moreWell today I have nice things to say about Ulta, particularity I want to thank Veronica for her awesome help. She really listened to what I was trying to find she worked to help me until we reached a successful product solution. She didn't seem to get peeved that her first idea didn't fit my idea, and with each item she offered multiple alternatives instead of hard selling her most favorites or pushing products by just one brand. My skin feels 1000% better than it did this morning. This is only the third or fourth time I didn't leave upset. I have found that doing my Ulta thing online was better than poor quality service but I've been bummed to not have my products immediately like would in store. My initial impression of this Ulta location is being recovered thanks to moments like today. Thank...
