The Labyrinth

I am giving this a 2 star «I’ve experienced better» rating because I *have* experienced better… but not by this place. Although I am seriously tempted to rate this a 1.
First time in the store to see what holistic goodies they had, as well as some gifts for the friends that are in to metaphysics. From the absolute second I stepped into The Labyrinth, I was demanded (to use the term lightly «barked») at by the woman behind the counter, to be helped out. She was in some negative mood, and I seemed to be impeding on it — like the lights were off, they were closed, and here I am, trying to break in the store. Which wasn’t even the case. She rudely asked me if I needed help and I politely thanked her, saying I wanted to browse around as it was my first time in. I was given another rude «then if you have questions, ask» remark. I thanked her and perused the store, taking my time to see what’s what.
The store is laid out nicely, however, things are a little pricey. I like holistic places. In fact, I frequented a few up north quite a lot. I don’t remember the prices on some of the crystals being too expensive. They actually have neat little palm sized items that I kept going back to, but because $ 35 for a 4 inch little fairy statue was kind of out of my price range, it’s hard to justify buying it to mail to a friend.
While I was walking around, the woman received a phone call and insisted on taking it and talking very loudly. She kept going on about wanting to hire some of the people she contracts out, especially if that provides her a day off. It was just a bad conversation that really wasn’t the time or place to be having with customers around. She seemed very agitated by whatever personnel problems had risen.
As the phone call continued, another customer came in, and I got the feeling the woman was watching me to make sure I wasn’t about to do a five finger discount. There’s a sign there — «You buy it, it’s blessed. You steal it, it’s cursed». Great way to tell people about shoplifters, but don’t make them feel like the second they stop to look at something in detail, you think they’re going to steal the product. She had put her call on hold, to again, rudely ask me if I needed help. No thanks, I’m still looking. Mind you, I had some stuff already in my hands to buy, and (again, for lack of a better word, «pestering») wasn’t helping me want to buy any of it.
The woman got off the phone eventually and the other customer that was wandering around had questions about readings. The woman said she «can’t right now. I’m waiting on her» and pointed to me. Again, like I’m about to start stealing everything that could fit in my pockets.
So I put everything back that I had picked up and headed for the door. As I was leaving, the woman asked me if I wanted a calendar of events, and I said «no thanks» and walked out.
Overall, this experience could have been made a hell of a lot better if the woman were in a better mood. Sure, people are entitled to be grouchy, but there’s a line you cross in retail that makes your first time customers not become frequent customers.
Will I return? Seriously doubtful.

**Older lady who works there seems to hate life I get a weird feeling around her. I dread shopping here because of her she’s very negative. Like you would think for some one in this profession would be happier in life. Today I went in and she literally had a bitch fest. All in the open. Then I went to buy some incense completely oblivious to the sign of a minimum of $ 10 she decides to through a fit and TELLS me to use cash.
Like who the hell uses cash anymore it’s the 21^st century it’s 2015 people don’t use it as
Much. All for 10 incense sticks which was a buck 75. I got scolded at. But the Older guy who works there I think the husband, very kind and knowledgeable: D doesn’t harp you, very sweet.
All in all variety of stones. Been going here for 2 – 3 years now and I love what they have. They carry raw Azurite! I got a specimen that fits pretty well in my palm on sale for $ 45. They do have Azurite the size of a dime to a quarter ranging from $ 5 – 10. They also have Lapis, however it’s tumbled but today I just heard from an employee there that one in a while the male owner will have it in its raw state. I mention these two because they were the two I wanted the most. They do carry many different stones I only took pictures of a few and it was on one side of the shelf. They’re was a crowd on there today so I didn’t want people looking at me weird. I love this place it’s a pretty good vib here. You just have to check it out they are located right behind Outback Steakhouse (SAME PLAZA!!!) Also the guy who works there is very knowledgable, I’d have to say when I go in he’s the one I’m usually looking for he’s very friendly and highly informative.
Now as for raw opal, they do not have I’ve tried getting some. HOWEVER they do have opal and it’s pink AND it’s tumbled. Not what I’m looking for but maybe you are.
Hope this helps!
Check it out!!(:
