Port Candle

Disappointing.
The various candles and gifts in this store are certainly appealing. Prices are pretty reasonable as well. A sign in the window claims that Newburyport residents can take advantage of a 10% discount with proof of residency. Seemed pretty good and I came in excited to purchase some autumnal scents.
But the store owner could not even be bothered to say «hello» as we walked around her store. In fact, she didn’t even lift her head up from her book the entire time we were there. Sure, the area can be a bit tourist-​laden in the summer months, but it’s a simple, monosyllabic greeting. Maybe it’s because her lack of friendliness seems incongruous with the rest of the town, but this just annoyed me. If you can’t be inclined to acknowledge your shoppers, why should they be inclined to make a purchase?
Pass.
