Urban Outfitters — Local services in Malibu

Had a very odd interaction, or I don’t know what to call it since the younger generation has so much difficulty with any sort of human interaction. I was in the store and said “hello” to who I thought was an employee…turns out she was but there shopping on her off time. You would thought I had said something horrible or rude. No. I just said hello. I even walked up to her and apologized for thinking she was an employee and that the reason I said hello was just to be nice to an employee. Or just to be nice in general. But either way…if an employee of the store is going to shop in the store when it’s open to customers…at least be cordial. Stop with the *itchy attitude and try and be nice. Or shop when the store is closed. She really made me feel unwelcome and creepy. What is wrong with people today that you can’t even say hello without them thinking you have an ulterior motive. I even told the male clerk what had happened as I was checking out and he didn’t care either. He didn’t even ask me for my rewards info so I missed out on my credit for this transaction. I just wish people could try and be nicer to others. It’s really not that hard. The Westwood Urban Outfitters store has really nice people there. The Malibu store could...

I haven't been to Urban Outfitters for at least a decade but I was visiting in town and had an opportunity to browse.

They were featuring instant film cameras. They have a section of LPs and record players. Michael Jackson's Thriller was there, for $30. These are all new in shrink wrap so they must be reprints.

I was only shopping for some greeting cards and found some really good ones. Kudos to the buyers...But $6.50 for a greeting card? Yes I had to have it because it was the a drawing rendition of John Cusack doing his Boombox Serenade... At the manufacturer retail price online is $4.50. that's not the wholesale price that's the retail price an Urban Outfitters marked it up by two more dollars. Seems a tad excessive but what do I expect for a Malibu location I guess. Their rents must be Sky High!

Anyway, I really liked the vibe of this store, even as a...

How long has it been? When was I last in a store? Am I talking too loud? Has Zoom ruined my social skills? That's where Urban Fritters comes in... This flagship store in Malibu Colony is nothing short of perfect: genuinely kind and übersmart manager and staff allow you to practice reintegration skills (Thank you, Sadie Luna & Co.!) An item was omitted from their ubiquitous market bag, and I was sent an email, allowed back in, unlocked by a staff member minutes after closing. Their prices may have gone up, but I support them (in honor of my inner teenager) as their gifts are unique and cozy. And last well past the birthday celebration, in sentiment and quality. Thank YOU...
