Emporium Of Curious Goods — Local services in Jim Thorpe

Well, all sales are final- I understand. But, my 7 year old bought a wand there today "cast a spell" with it a few steps down the street and the top went flying off. I went back to the clerk and showed her; I expected an exchange. She went and got maybe the owner? Then I noticed the sign on the counter "all sales final" at this point just counting on a little human decency, and someone to be nice. The lady told me "you shouldn't have let your kids play with it". I tried to defend my son and I by telling her I promised he wasn't doing anything reckless with it and it just broke with a normal flick and the little harry potter fan was in tears after that. Her response was "you'll have to buy another one". I decided that a lesson in good and bad business etiquette was more beneficial to my son than to purchase another wand. Just wanted to let the world know, the owner was not very nice!

We were in this store this afternoon and the woman working there (owner/manager?) treated my 13-year-old daughter like a thief. My daughter asked if I would buy her a necklace she liked but when I said “not today” and told her I’d meet her outside, the woman proceeded to ask “Did you put that necklace back?” When my daughter said, “Yes,” she said “Show me” and walked over to make sure the necklace was in its place. My daughter said to her friend, “Did she think I was stealing?” And the woman eavesdropped and chimed in “People do that.” We won’t be coming back to this store next time we’re in Jim Thorpe.
