Earthbound Trading Co. — Local services in Town of Cheektowaga

I came to Buffalo yesterday for my son’s 2nd birthday and found this cute little store. I live in such a small town, so we don’t really have these things near. They had so many good sales and the staff there were all so cute (🏳️‍🌈) and kind. The person that checked me out informed me that since I bought a reusable bag, some of the proceeds will be going to an organization. Can’t remember what organization, though. I was sad that I live far away, so the employee also informed me that there is a website! With EVEN MORE sales! This store reminds me of my friend Abbie, who sadly had to move back to stupid yeehaw Texas. I sent her the pics of the store and it’s definitely on our list of things to do in May when...

If you any kind of first responder, firefighter, ems, police, etc it seems to be a place we're not welcome. I went in to purchase a gift and was told I could be helped then that I couldn't multiple times before setting my item down. It seemed to be once they saw my firefighter jacket, they no longer wanted to serve me. I walked out and came back shortly to speak to the manager that basically told me she had no idea what I was talking about when she was even one of the employees telling me I could be cashed out and then that I couldn't be. I will pass this along with the people that I also know that shop here. I will never return, this place will never see another...

If I could give zero stars I would. I had one item in my hand and was asked three times if I wanted them to hold it behind the counter. Finally went to check out second in line, the lady call us over then says oh I'll be right with you....pulls the person behind us over....we walked out. Feels like as soon as they noticed we were first responders we were made to feel unwelcome. Would love to hear from the store manager or someone higher on what the explanation is behind this behavior.

Update: The lady at the register was the manager!
