my boyfriend and i decided to visit for the first time during free comic book day, when we got there it was beautiful. the store is lovely and we had a fun time trying to find a certain comic he was interested in. it took us about 30 minutes of nonstop searching to finally find it and then check out. however at the checkout i was zoned out still looking around and when we left my boyfriend told me one of the women behind the counter had the audacity to say "wow look who found something, took them long enough" to another women who was at the register. is that not an insane thing to say to about people who wanted to come and support you ? not to mention the fact that she saw we were struggling to find something instead of sitting there gossiping about how sales are up 400% but going to drop drastically the next day how about be useful and offer help ? otherwise the store was nice and the vibes were great. no clue if we will...
