AristiA — Local services in Portsmouth

Don't like to leave negative reviews, but my experience in this shop was negative.

Initially seemed like a cool place - one of the guys working was helping a kid start their crystal collection. The other guy gave me a bit of a weird look but I didn't think anything of it, UNTIL I was putting a book back on the shelf because it had no price tag. I was wearing a small bag and had my phone in my hand (which had been in my hand from the moment I walked in), so put them down to slot the book back where it was without damaging it (shouldn't have bothered, it was already damaged). For some reason this instigated the "need" for the guy to call that no photos were allowed, across the shop.

I have no idea which box he'd stereotyped me into, but it was rude and unnecessary. Why would you take a photo of a book/bookshelf?
