    Wasn’t greeted, also felt like I was bothering the guy when I asked for help looking for something particular. Also the lady who checked me out was rude and was like “uh huh” the whole time. Even when I asked how she was doing. I’ve always loved coming here but it definitely didn’t feel very Christian like.

    Disclaimer: this review is for the female manager only, as the employees at the Markham location have always been kind in my experience. I have been a customer at this location in the past, but I will not be returning after my most recent experience. The manager on duty racially profiled my adopted sister and accused us of shoplifting while we were simply carrying our items and preparing to purchase them. Her behavior was unprofessional, accusatory, and unnecessarily rude. She never allowed us to explain, showed no willingness to listen, and displayed a complete lack of compassion. It was clear she had already made up her mind and chose to treat us like criminals without cause. As a pastor’s wife, I was especially disheartened to witness such unkind and inappropriate conduct from someone in a management position. I would hope corporate will interfere and provide better training so other innocent customers are not treated this way.

    Thank you so much for your service! I’m glad for the religious key chain and decorations I was able to find here. It’s excellent to be able to shop at a store dedicated to glorifying God.
