Roque’s Curiosities

Window displays sparked our interest. Good size antique store with Victorian and Contemporary items. Marcasite, Silver, and Natural Stone Jewelry, candles, oils and Incense along with dishes and furniture.
If you enjoy antiques this store might interest you. For me, it was just blah… As we were trying to look around and shop there was a lady working and a man doing some kind of work on the floor. As you can imagine with all the old antiques, things are everywhere. Very hard to shop especially when they are trying to do constructive work while the store is open. Hey, got an idea after hours or when you are closed might increase your business.
The lady barely spoke to us because she had difficulty speaking English. She had a silver necklace that Danielle wanted. Good price so we told her that would be all, if she could ring us up. She did seem to be new and confused, and was nice but ooohhh one necklace was so rough to purchase.
Danielle gave her the money and she could not figure out how to ring it up and give her change. We stood there for what seemed like five minutes trying to be patient with her. Thank god we had cash, a credit card could have been a nightmare. We finally decided she could keep the 89 cents change. Our time was worth more than that. She smiled and said oh so sorry, I do not know how to do…
Better get some better training in here quickly.
