Board Stiff Falmouth — Local services in Falmouth

Vacationing here for two weeks with my family. So far, our Cape experience has been great. Making our way to each shop along Main Street, we have been treated very well with great hospitality. This shop seemed to have some things my husband was interested in, so we stepped inside. We have two children, ages four and seven. My daughter (four) grabbed a pair of sunglasses off the wall. I tried to get them back from her, and, like a typical kid that age, she took off running and giggling. Then my seven year old takes off in front of me to try and catch her. The result-two children running a lap around the back of the store. My son is a clumsy kid. He tripped and fell. He was fine and all merchandise was unharmed. The ONLY thing that happened was that he bumped against a floor mannequin when he fell, not knocking it over or anything. I got the sunglasses out of my daughter’s grasp and put them up. A typical occurrence for a parent of small children.

What shocked me was the way a woman behind the counter with long, blond wavy hair began yelling at my kids when they were rounding the back of the store (as I was dealing with them myself because, you know, I’m their mom). It was when I was putting the sunglasses away that I noticed the blonde had come out from behind the counter looking angry (not sure what her plan was) and yells in an aggressive tone loud enough for the whole store to hear, “I’M GOING TO ASK THEM TO LEAVE!!!” To another associate. I told my husband we were being asked to go and that it was best to head out. I did tell the woman on my way out the door that it was obvious that she didn’t have kids (or she would have realized that what happened wasn’t much). She overreacted in a huge way and the whole thing was very uncomfortable.

I watch my children closely, but things happen. That’s life. I don’t want them running around any more than anyone else does. We have been in many local stores loaded with breakables and have been treated with nothing but kindness (kids included). We do love to shop. I’m sure we would have made purchases in your store had we not been run off in such a ridiculous manner. Maybe talk to your employees about professionalism and at least faking nice when needed.

I was on vacation August 16th weekend. I visited the shop. I was surprised to see that they sold Eskates. I'm an avid e skater and have an extensive collection myself. I loved to see a brick N mortar shop actually having physical inventory of E Boards. The boards that I saw at that time were The One Wheel Plus and the M1 Own board. . Speaking of my collection I currently Own Both which are great boards. I really would of liked to meet the owner, The store clerk advises that he regularly is scene running errands and walking the dog down main st on his One Wheel . Next time of go hopefully I can meet up with the owner and we can ride and talk shop . Definitely a cool shop with many skateboards,parts,and...

Just bought some fine expensive clothing this week. Place was fine to shop. The real shocker came as the register when the payment tablet posted 6 different tip options. The tipping thing is over the top crazy. These business people are only pissing off customers..keep it up and sales will go down! Had I known this was coming I would have avoided the place just out of principle. Luckily they had an easy skip button….now mind you these suggestions were the same or more than restaurants. I spent well more than what dinner would cost at the fraction of time…not mention I self served myself, except I had a bunch of folks “helping” me find a changing room…now I know why. Bad deal owner! Remove your tipping...
