General Shopping for Stylish Home Stuff

They've changed the store's offerings a bit since I last visited over a year ago. Didn't see the small Umbra accessories, which used to be displayed against the back wall, but generally the layout is easier to navigate with more furniture/vignettes on display. The service I received from a gentleman was good - he was extremely patient, polite and helpful. I only wish it was swift service at the check-out. There were 4-5 reps behind the cash register area and it seemed a touch disorganized (was there a line? why did my salesperson stop to check someone else out in the line even though it seemed like he was helping me and took my items to the register? could he have explained why he took another customer firsr?). Regardless, he was still pleasant but it was definitely one of the slowest check-outs I've encountered in ages, even though one person was taken before me. I was at the King St location the next day, there were no other customers at the cash and I had the same experience - slow process to pay and leave. Maybe it's a relaxed atmosphere where people aren't meant to be ushered off quickly. Don't know, but with a 9 month old, I want to get in and out of stores as quickly as possible. Would still go back infrequently when I can handle the slow pace.

Approximate cost of services:
$250.00

They've changed the store's offerings a bit since I last visited over a year ago. Fewer small Umbra accessories that used to be displayed nicely against the back wall, but generally easier to navigate with more furniture/vignettes on display. The service I received from the gentleman who helped us was very good - he was extremely patient, polite and helpful. I only wish it was swift service at the check-out. There were 4-5 behind the cash register area and it seemed a touch disorganized (was there a line? why did my salesperson stop to check someone else out in the line even though it seemed like he helping me and took my items to the register? was he not meant to be on the floor and in charge of cashing people out?). Regardless, he was still pleasant but it was definitely one of the slowest checkouts I've encountered in ages, even without a long wait in line. I was at the King St location today (a day later), there were no other customers at the cash and I had the same experience, slow process to pay and leave. Maybe it's a relaxed atmosphere where people aren't meant to be ushered off quickly. Don't know, but with a 9 month old in tow, I want to get in and out of stores as quickly as possible. Would still go back but only when I can handle the slow pace.
