When I walked into this establishment with my son, I first noticed the scent of some sort of incense, but I did not appreciate it as I do other incenses. The atmosphere was spiritually off-putting.
As I was looking around the store, my son escaped me. I called for him, and the store attendant / cashier told me that I needed to stay by him. That seemed acceptable and reasonable to me.
My son and I then went over to what appeared to be a kid-toy section. I pulled down a bin full of plastic toys, and he started to look through them. I then walked a few feet away from him to look at some of what the store had to offer. The store attendant then told me again that I have to be with my son - except this time I knew where he was and that he was not playing with fragile items - and I was nearby him. In any case, I went over by my son. Then the clerk told me that he was not to look through the toy bin like that, as the owners don’t want the bin on the ground - or something to that matter. This was odd to me because he was looking through what appeared to be plastic junk toys (see posted picture). In response, I irritatedly asked her how my son is supposed to look through the toys, to which she responded that I could show him the toys myself, picking them out (presumably individually) from the box while it is on the shelf. I told her that that did not make sense but cleaned up the toys and returned the box to its place on the shelf as requested. We left the store shortly after this interaction, having been made uncomfortable.
It should also be noted that the prices here seem quite inflated. I did not look at a lot of stuff here, but I did look at the jean jackets, and I believe all of them were over $200, which was ridiculous to me. Perhaps these sell well to Japanese or other Asian tourists, so they raise the prices on them; that is my guess.
