Dropped by the shop this morning, it was disappointing. I really don't expect them to roll out the red carpet and treat me like a superstar, but it was a very cold reception. In fact, when the receptionist asked me where I was from, I told her and her response was "well, thanks for stopping by and have a safe trip home." Cordial, for sure, but not inviting in the least. I wanted to have my knife sharpened while I was there, but decided against it when I was essentially shown the door.
Interesting how two people can have totally opposite experiences. I did not push myself on the place, and I don't consider myself extra annoying or off-putting, but I sure felt like I had the plague.
Doesn't change my opinions about the knives or service at all, but if any of you are considering extending your vacation an extra day just to stop by and see where the magic happens, it might be better to stay away and keep the dream alive in your mind.
