I’m very wary in purchasing things I know nothing about, in fact, I try to avoid it. Unfortunately, the only things I have sufficient knowledge of are makeup, hair products, clothes, and other girly things and in shopping for a Christmas gift for my boyfriend, such wisdom yielded no success. Toys. Boy playthings. Remote control vehicles. These are things I know nothing about. The last time I set foot in this space was back when it was a Millenium, and boy, did I stick out like a sore thumb as I waltzed in amongst the miniature cars, boats, airplanes, and the like. Not knowing where to begin, it wasn’t long at all before an associate greeted me, pulling me out of my dumbfounded haze. Right off the bat, the sales associate asked me what I was looking for, who I was buying for, and what my price range was. I knew that I was looking for an RC vehicle of some kind, and that I was prepared to spend a pretty penny, but nothing ridiculous. Instantly, the associate advised me against the larger, more expensive models, and led me towards the beginner-friendly, moderately priced products. He gave me all the information on flying time, how the controls work, range of flight, etc(all of which promptly went in one ear and out the other side) before providing me with a demonstration of the model I ended up purchasing. But still I had one problem. One more hurdle that stood in the way of my joyous gift-giving, and that hurdle was orange. Orange. The only color helicopter they had left was orange, my arch nemesis as far as colors are concerned. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much I could do, and my procrastination left me at the mercy of a possible additional shipment, so I crossed my fingers. When I returned a week later to pay for the gift, minus what I had already put down as a deposit to secure a quickly rising price, the associate had swapped out the tangerine-tinted toy with the red model that I had originally wanted. In short, my experience here was good. The staff are very friendly and knowledgable, and took the time to be sure I went home with a product that I was happy with.
