Daisy's Mercantile — Local services in Alameda

First I have trouble walking so I sat Down in front of the store. They had a sectioned off area with four tables and chairs for people waiting to go in the store. As I was waiting to go in the store and my husband was getting ice cream a woman came out of Daisy’s. She was terribly rude, unfriendly and told me I couldn’t sit here. She further said this is for our customers only. Keep in mind that two of the four tables people were eating ice cream but she never once went up to them and ask them to get up. I don’t know what the store was like because her tone of voice and the decibel at which she told me was enough to embarrass me.

Next time make sure you know who you’re asking to get up because you could be insulting customers or somebody could be experiencing duress. Also if you’re going to make one person get up make the other four as well that are eating ice cream. I watched them walk away and none of them shopped in your store.

I've just had the most delightful experience with Daisy's. I wanted to shop locally for holiday gifts for my colleagues this year, so I reached out to Daisy's. Barbara and her wonderful staff immediately responded and prepared absolutely fantastic gift boxes for each of my employees! She asked for a few details about their preferences and interests, then prepared unique and beautiful gifts, beautifully packaged, and even delivered the presents to each person. It was all within my budget, conducted without me having to leave my home, and resulted in beautiful indulgences for my hard-working and much loved colleagues. The carefully selected treats included a cashmere wrap, RBG gifts (we are a law firm), indulgent bath supplies, home and body spray, lotions, a gorgeous water bottle with charcoal filter, a zodiac trinket box, satin pillow cases and eye masks, and more! Thank you Barbara and everyone at Daisy's for making gift...

I would give them 0 stars if I could. SUPER RUDE! While I was wandering Park st, I stumbled in to browse jewelry but as soon as I walked in, an older man yelled at me asking me "did you just walk in?!" So I said, yeah it's that ok? And he just yelled at me saying they're full, he was asking but the time was really, accusing me of not reading the chalkboard outside of the store saying they're full. Seriously?

Firstly, if you are limiting the number of people in the store, maybe you should stand at the door, instead of waiting until people walk in to kick them out. Secondly, the sign needs to be at eye level. I understand these are COVID times but you need to make it more obvious rather than yelling at the customer and then kicking them out.

I will not be shopping...
