Black Spur Emporium — Local services in Johnson City

Would be 0 Star Review but 1 is the lowest. Stopped by to view some of the metal art, walked around front looking at items with my wife. I stop at the East entrance and was showing my wife one of the Windmills I intended to purchase. My wife walked maybe 15 feet to view a sidewalk sign of the new lunch menu next door while we were talking and I continuing to stand in the gate entrance when I noticed the Owner (White hair Bearded man) approached and said if my wife was going downtown to get out of their parking lot. I explained she was just looking at a sidewalk sign that was 15 feet away while I was to inquire and purchase the Windmill. Complete rudeness to us at which time I said we would not be shopping there and left. We had parked and planned to shop there, but I will never shop or refer there again. No wonder his parking lot is empty and there is a for sale sign. Keep away, he simply does not want your business! It’s a shame, we want to always support JC businesses as...

Do yourself a favor and...

I had a very bad experience at this place. The owner of the coffee shop was rude and seemed very unfriendly. Me and My wife we bought a cup of cafe mocha and the owner said he doesn’t take American Express. So I offered him my master card. After the transaction he threw my card back at me. I felt a bit odd and a subtle undertone of racism. After this incident, my wife was trying on some hats in their gift shop and she accidentally put her hat the wrong way. And I saw the owner throwing up his hands in the air, mocking us. We found that very rude. His wife was pretty sweet to us. She was nice to talk. But after the disrespectful incident we didn’t buy anything and probably will never...
