Hayseed

Hayseed is a blight on an otherwise charming and friendly row of upscale stores in Litchfield, CT. The owner is an older woman who is very unfriendly at best, but can also be shockingly rude to her customers. It is not worth going in, as it will just ruin your good mood. Instead try shopping at any of the other wonderful stores on the street. I love to shop in Litchfield. It’s a great little town. Too bad Hayseed is allowed to stay. If I could give Hayseed no stars I would!

Hayseed may look like a cute country store from the outside, but don’t be deceived. Hayseed is the worst little store in Litchfield county.
The elderly owner’s behavior is appalling. I came shopping on a weekday afternoon when only a few other customers were in the store. I greeted her with a friendly, «Hello!,» and she gave me a mean look without replying. While I shopped, she loomed over me (and other shoppers as well) in an overbearing way, as if she assumed the worst of everyone in the store. When I dared to ask a question about a sale on storage baskets, she personally attacked me, calling me names and behaving as if I had asked something unreasonable of her. I was shocked. It was a completely inappropriate way to interact with anyone, much less a potential customer, and it was completely uncalled for.
You would think that an owner of a store would take pride in her own merchandise, or at least take an interest in making a sale. This is not the case at Hayseed. I will never be back.
