Lisa Marie’s Made In Maine

I was in the Portland Maine store on 9÷21÷2015. Upon entering I was not greeted or acknowledged, even my intentionally passing the checkout counter twice, where two employees were talking but aware of my presence, did not get a response. I deliberately stopped in front of the counter and looked around. Finally I was asked if I was looking for something. I said «No, but thanks for asking.» As I was leaving the store unhappy with the way I was ignored, three ladies entered and were immediately greeted in a friendly manner. Dismayed, I left the store and got my wife from a nearby store and told her of my experience. My wife went in and experienced the same kind of treatment and attitude; a staff member even squeezed by my wife looking down, not asking to help her and acting as though she was not there. It was obvious to my wife and I that because the three ladies that were greeted were White and my wife and I are not that was the reason were treated differently. I do not care about people with their personal biases, but as potential buyer I should be treated with respect and courtesy. My ethnicity or skin tone should not matter.

Really nice quaint little shop full of beautiful Maine made lovely things! Wanted everything… log carrier made out of sails, unique sand dollar necklaces… lamps… jewelery… very unique stuff!

Ok nothing made in China here, just Maine and cool stuff too. Bought a few gifties for some folks here. Worth the price the visit and everything. They have a store in Portland Maine too. I would suggest folks shop here after they tour Maine and go shopping
