A Disappointing visit



After looking for an opportunity to visit THE HOUSE OF ISIS I was finally able to get to Rosebank mall.  This was a visit in waiting for 6 months and I was really exited to spend lots of money in this legendary shop.

My first impression was that it is small but jam packed with wonderful statues, incense, crystals, books and anything else you might need as a wiccan.  However there was no one giving you a friendly smile or have you been here before or just Hi.  I was specifically looking for a centre piece to round off my new wall unit and found a Bast that was the perfect size.

 

Problem is the Bast was high up and in a display area so we had to find someone to help us.  We looked very needy for about ten minutes in a shop that is about the third of Mawu’s size and everybody ignored us, so we approached someone we know works in the shop since she was busy with stock take.  She WASN’T in a mood to help us and her whole body language screamed “Why are you bothering me”.  So we finally got her to look if she can see a price on the item she got on the ladder looked the Bast up and down and said there is no price on it, so it couldn’t be for sale.  With an attitude that said bugger off.

 

That is exactly what I did and I will never ever visit the shop again no matter what goodies they have available.

 

For someone that is used to friendly likeminded people this trip was devinatly a low point.

Hi Earth Spirit. I don't think this is talking bad about others. This is exposing bad service. Should we just put up with attitudes like that of the sales person? I think not. Just to clarify, I've experienced similar attitudes at that shop lately, and have decided not to go there anymore. I used to go and shop there because of the atmosphere of calm and peace in spite of the products being very pricey. Now I shop on;ine, make my own items or go to the fayre.

It will be a much better experience!

Ja, it's a pity that these shopowners doesn't employ like-minded people...

from: The Witches Rede of Chivalry

"that thoughts and intent put forth on this middle-Earth will wax strong in other-worlds beyond, and return...bringing into creation, on this world, that which had been sent forth. Thus one should exercise discipline, for "as ye do plant, so shall ye harvest."

Do not talk bad about others, it is not polite.
