  Absolutely horrifying-- the store is basically selling culturally insensitive products and obfuscating a bunch of different East Asian, Southeast Asian, Native American, and other marginalized cultures with one another. It is revolting to see people from a dominant culture exploit the religious, spiritual, or cultural significance of different groups-- the store is selling bodhisattva statues, headdresses displayed on mannequins with geisha makeup, dreamcatchers, incense, etc. as if they were random knick-knacks. Disgusted to see it at Menlo Park Mall every time I go there-- a true display of cultural appropriation.

  I'd give a negative star if I could. I worked here in the season of 2016. I put hard work, time, and sweat into making sure this was a great store. Before working here I shopped here all the time so I knew the products inside and out. I was very close already with the workers and such and loved anytime I could work, taking any over time thrown at me! After one night of a two hour shift I fixed one whole side of the stock room which was a disaster zone. You couldn't find products, know how many we had, even walk thru without almost falling or breaking something. In two hours I had it organized, everything labeled, counted, put into sections, and even fixed their vacuum cleaner(after being an electrician for years) in two hours all by myself!! Two days later I was fired! Never even notified untill I came in trying to get my new hours for the week! I was all honest, knowledgeable, driven, and especially after coming out of a personal rough summer it was very meaningful to me to be working again, meeting new ppl, and assisting with things that are already my life(gemstones, Wicca, new age religion and music)! From the only time I met the owner he seemed very nice, very on point, and tidy so I feel my let go was in part of the rude inexperienced manager! I how since then things have become more put together, from things like the other half of the stock room, more employees that are knowledgeable besides the about 3 that were, and more professional in their actions! If their happened to be any other reason it hasn't ever been brought to my attention or knowledge.
