I stopped at their store (east aurora) to look around, and possibly find something for my husband. I looked at jewelry & had a few bracelets I considered buying, but was unsure if that was what I wanted. I also inquired if they sold any metal barrels. I looked at several different items, asking questions about every single item. I'm one of those indecisive types. Anyway, about 20 min into shopping, I noticed the female employee following me around. I was tempted to walk out. Anywhere I went, she went. I did find metal barrels upstairs, but used my phone to look up of that would work for burning. I put back all the jewelry I had & went to the bathroom. I also threw out a redbull can I had on me. I took a look at the front counter one more time & was ready to leave. 3 uniformed police officersaid told me I needed to step outside with them to have a talk. Outside they told me that the female employee told them that I was acting suspiciously, by acting "strange" next to the garbage cans & using the restroom "too long." Even hinting that I might be "on something." They searched my purse, and ran my id to see if I've been in trouble before, or had any warrants. The one officer told me that they also found something (a piece of metal?) In the garbage, wrapped in toilet paper. Apparently the employee dug through the garbage can to see what I put in there. After the way she was acting, I wouldn't be surprised if she purposely put something there- because it makes no sense that someone would steal something then throw it in the garbage. Obviously the police found nothing- because there was nothing to find! He even looked at my phone to confirm I was researching products on Google. I was so embarrassed. The officer tried to tell me the store deals with theft all the time, so that's why they were paranoid. That isn't my problem. I called to ask for the manager/ owner. He stated that he only ran that store, so he's not the top person. He actually denied everything, saying that the other employee wasn't following me & that is how they do customer service! Oh and that the police just happened to be in there. (In separate vehicles they all decided to show up)So he lied. I asked if there was a time limit on shopping, he said no. Anyway, it was very embarrassing & I won't be giving them my business. This is a warning to anyone else who might be a slow shopper. I was physically ill because I've never had something like this happen to me. I'm also disabled, so it really put a lot of unnecessary...
Read moreGreat store where absolutely everything is 100% made in America. It was a fun stop on our trip. Only complaint is we were on a bus with a fairly tight time schedule, and before we could even get off the bus, we sat and learned the history of the store from the owner. Then once inside, had to sit through another presentation on a handful of products. Felt a bit like a Tupperware party. But, I get it. They are proud of their store and it shows. But we didn't have a lot of time there,and all that made me feel rushed to see it. Definitely stop if you are in the area. There is a kid section, ammo, tools, clothes, trinkets, even dog food! Something...
