My fiancé and I had a terrible experience here. First thing that stood out to both of us is that there was absolutely nothing unique about the place. We first browsed the low quality t-shirt collection. I initially thought nothing of it, but one of the women working there immediately started getting in our space and more and more made it seem like she was watching and/or waiting for us to shop lift. Nice job lady, but I gave up buying such tired, thoughtless Bob Marley shirts after I graduated high school. I can appreciate keeping inventory neat and presentable as well as keeping a discreet eye on people. The way she was following and eyeing us she may have well stripped us (hell...it would have put a LITTLE excitement in our visit). Mind you, we are normal looking people that were both willing and able to spend some money if we by miracle chance found something of remote interest to us. Some awkward minutes later we made our way into the smoke accessory area in the back room. sure enough there she came out of nowhere (were there two of them???) scaring the crap out of us. Again, their selection of glass was sparse; on par with any Exon Mobile gas station. I'm surprised they didn't have bath salts available. If they did it was their own stash for sure. Maybe that's why they were so on edge, tweaking on their own stash. We again continued to shrug it off until I made the mortal mistake of making my way behind the counter in smoke area. In the most condescending tone ever, said something alone the lines of "you can't go behind the counter." I knew I was at fault for that, but she had an expression that you'd give a dog after it pee'd on the carpet. That's when we decided to bail. Right before leaving however we asked the nice man behind the main front counter for a lighter. "Uhhh we're out of lighters..."...
Read moreThe staff here is always super helpful. The place can get busy at times so as long as you are patient, they will spend all the time helping you out with all your questions. This is a great little store for all your random cool things needs. There are plenty of CD's and DVD's to browse, they have a ton of funny t-shirts, and the glass shop has everything from cheap and simply to expensive and elaborate. They also have a good selection of rolling papers, raw filter tips, tabacco wraps, glass cleaning supplies, and a small little porno section. Not sure who would be buying it, but they also have porno on VHS if you're really feeling nostalgic. The store is clean for being so packed with stuff and sometimes there is a friendly dog wandering around to put a smile on your face. If you are just looking to browse around, you could easily spend an hour in here and still not see...
Read moreI decided to go back to the Trading Post yesterday, because I haven't been in a while. My visit just reminded me of how amazing this shop is.
The employees were testing the vinyl records that they were planning to sell, to make sure there were no skips, because "sometimes a visual check isn't enough". Amazing costumer service.
Fantastic deals on things that you would have trouble finding on Amazon or even eBay. I don't smoke, so I don't have a review for their smoke shop, but I can definitely say that their prices for physical media are amazing.
They'll even put your newly purchased CD's, DVD's, and Blu-Rays through their disc cleaner before you take them home.
Amazing shop, I highly recommend for everyone...
