Mixed Nuts Boutique & Consignment — Local services in Saint Simons

As an avid luxury consumer, I do like shopping here and have for many years, but do have a couple of insights that hopefully will be accepted as constructive criticism:

-employees seem pretty lethargic and not terribly interested in their jobs. They’re typically buried into their phones. Meanwhile, dressing rooms are untidy and customers not being assisted to a room (left holding a mountain of clothing in some cases).

-pricing seems unresearched and many times, aspirational at best. I found MULTIPLE cases of Shein, Forever 21, Target, Wal Mart, and other low tier brands being priced above what can be found online or in stores. My family I shop with also noticed this. Our opinion is that perhaps items are being priced with a scarcity mindset as there are not many retail shops on the island.

Nice shop but management needs to have higher customer service expectations from their...

Mixed Nuts is a great idea in theory. However, the prices are all over the place. Old Navy for $22 and used boutique items for over $40? I’ve worked in resale for 6+ years and always value customer service over anything but I’ve never been treated like other customers or even my mother. It’s just disheartening to come into a store I used to frequent as a child and now, as a young adult, I will not come back. I love visiting the Island and wish them the best. Small businesses are really struggling right now, so support them when you can. I just wish the employees were more aware of everyone in the store, not just the ones that look like they...
