I hate to leave such a low rating, as I do typically enjoy this store. The selection may not be what you would find at a big store like Indigo, but I have found plenty of hidden gems. The man who owns it is lovely and I have had some wonderful chats with him. And there's even an adorable cat! However, there is one aspect of this shop that ruins the entire experience for me - a female worker who is downright hostile. She is incredibly rude, speaking harshly to customers and at times treating me like I am an errant child (ie telling me off for the grave sin of pointing out the bookstore cat to my friend while he was sleeping, which was apparently equivalent to maliciously waking him up). She's also likes to stare at my friends and I while we are browsing, making us incredibly uncomfortable - we feel as if she is just waiting for us to start shoving books into our bags or something. Honestly, her behavior makes me want to find a different bookstore to frequent, which is immensely saddening to me as I once considered the shop one of my favorites.
