Sans Market Zero Waste Store — Local services in Saint Petersburg

Last night I attended the quarterly clothing swap which was a paid, private event. I was part of a group of 4 and our tickets were checked at the door. The door attendant shared with us a free drink was included with the purchase of the ticket. Okay, cool! The tables were a bit crowded so I approach the bar and asked about my free drink. The person at the bar was explaining to me that the event was private and I'd need to purchase a ticket in order to get a drink. I was genuinely confused as to why she was telling me this?? Why didn't she ask to see my ticket instead of assuming I didn't have one...how else would I have gotten into the event and known about the drink if I hadn't already paid to be there?

Sans Market is really cool! There is a expansive selection of different products that are all eco-friendly. Hand and body soaps, conditioner and shampoo in both liquid and bar form.
