Shasta View Gift Shoppe - Weed, California

B

Souvenir shops essentially only exist because someone found an opening somewhere to exploit tourists by selling overpriced merchandise from China, manufactured nowhere near the location of its theme. This is not the problem with this place.

Heaven forbid you realize how overpriced that merchandise is and elect to purchase nothing at the shop. Some owners and employees seem to take offense to this, simply writing you off as a lookie loo, but most are mature enough to just say "have a nice day" or "thanks for stopping by". This is not the case with this place.

There is absolutely no reason to be rude with bitter sniping comments at anyone that doesn't leave your store with a 30 dollar shirt and receipt because you can't look past your own arrogance that perhaps there is nothing simply worth buying at your store. I'm not exactly sure why any business owner or employee finds this necessary but thankfully I've only had to deal with it once before.

I'll save you any more details on this drama and just tell you that none of this crap is worth it. It's right off the exit ramp in order to trick people into getting ripped off. Apparently they get pretty upset when someone doesn't fall for it. LOL! Just save yourself the headache from these brats and get off at exit 745, where Enjoy Weed Shack is. The prices are lower for the same stuff and the people are not rude children that throw tantrums about people not wanting to buy expensive junk.

This is just a personal experience and results may vary. That rival shop is guaranteed to be cheaper and not just a means to exploit travelers. I hope this info will help you from making the same mistake I did. There's no excuse to be rude to anyone visiting your place of business. Especially people that were considering on coming back after checking out more of the town. Especially someone in their 20s that can easily make sure the world hears about their experience.

You'll laugh about this and write it off as just being passive aggressive for sharing this info to help out others but either way, you screwed up. 🙂
