I started to explain this to the woman as the reason why I would like to return or exchange it, and she very rudely cut me off and said "well it's not a men's shirt, but ok." Not wanting to argue with her and cause a scene, I just grabbed a "Simply Faithful" shirt that was in fact printed on a woman's shirt and left. I will not be shopping here again, as I would much rather go to Ellijay and shop at similar shops and get...

Usually when we visit Blue Ridge it is Sunday and this store is closed, but this time we drove 2 hours to Blue Ridge and was excited to finally visit this store. We got into town around 10:00, saw that they open at 11:00, so we explored a while then got there around 10:58, waiting a few minutes, looked in the window and was YELLED at to wait 15 more minutes. I guess I’ll buy my bear things elsewhere. Very disappointing to feel like my business would...
