Atypical — Local services in Ruidoso

The employees here were so RUDE when I visited with my family. NOT kid friendly, which is ironic given that they sell toys and kid geared items. We were glad to see this shop open at 7:20 pm after we discovered all the shops on Sudderth close at 6:00 pm on Saturday. My children (ages 3, 7, 10, 16) were visibly and audibly excited to walk into the store as their faces lit up with smiles and they were saying "wow mommy look at this!" and were picking up toys. I made sure they put all the toys back in their assigned places, if they weren't choosing it to buy. We planned on purchasing an item for each kid. Shortly afterwards the female employee started following right behind me "fixing" each and every item I would look through, which was very silly because I never removed anything from its place, I only gently thumbed through some beanies, gloves, and folded shirts. And the man did the same, following my husband around and "fixing" every item he barely touched. Then as I watched my teenager barely thumb through some metal wall hang- ups, she excitedly spoke about them to me, when the man interuppted her to lecture her about how to pull them each all the way out so she wouldn't dent them??? At one point I overheard the male employee (which I get the impression was manager or owner maybe) irritatedly say to his female coworker, "What is the deal with these people, we're not a daycare," as if we weren't standing right there. I guess they don't like children admiring their toys and other fluffy plastic items, there was nothing special, breakable, or expensive in their, however we were ready to give them whatever money the items cost. As their behavior increasingly made me feel uneasy, I asked them politely what time they closed to make sure we were not holding them up, and they said 8:00, at the time it was 7:27. Needles to say, I told my children and husband let's get the heck out of here and spend our money somewhere we are welcome...

Nice little shop. Got a holographic avengers picture. There were many others like dragon ballZ and star wars. Looking at it from one angle gives you one picture and another angle gives you a different one. The pictures have so much depth as well. The rest of the store had decent little trinkets and other things. Of all the small stores I’ve went to throughout the small strip, this was the only place I thought was worth...

Atypical was such a neat shop! My kids loved it! The shop owner made my sons day when he gifted him a Rubik’s cube! Needless to say he has a collection! Thanks for your kindness! My daughters loves their...
