Walked in to buy some beverages and the first thing I heard was the man tell the woman (presumably husband and wife) in there that I look crazy in their native language, Cantonese.
I told him I can understand what he said because my wife and in-laws speak Cantonese. He said "good for you". As I was walking out (without buying anything.. because.. logic) I simply told him he should he careful because you never know who can understand him.
He contended that he said "everything respectful"... well there is no respectful way to call someone crazy or say that they look crazy.. especially when it comes to a first impression you're making with customers that've never met you.
How they can stay in business with having a reputation that precedes them so hard is absolutely beyond me..

The cute little trinkets caught my eye while I was passing by. I had the pleasure of meeting Julius, he was such a sweet older man with a gentle demeanour.
He told me about the history of the shop and how it has been around since the 40s!
I was visiting Victoria for the first time, and he definitely was the highlight of my trip.

I’d give 0 if available. Jam packed full of junk. Prices are a joke. The ladies working here were very rude to everyone who bothered to come in. Don’t bother going to this store unless you “have” to.

This store is absolutely dreadful. The woman working there is incredibly rude and lacks any sense of patience. We purchased a pair of batteries for an outrageous $10, which is an absolute rip-off. Furthermore, she deceitfully advised us to buy the batteries first, let us try fitting our camera, indicating a refund if it did not fit. However, when we returned within minutes, having discovered their poor quality and lack of compatibility, she callously refused to honor her word! She is nothing short of a deceitful liar and a disgrace to customer service. I've never encountered such dishonesty and disrespect.
