A Priori

"I don't know who is working today on 3/6 at 5pm but that white woman was surely following my friend and I around. I even walked up and down the same side of the store to see if she'd follow and SHE DID. This is not a safe space for POC and/or queer individuals. I really wanted to buy that butter dish too, but I'm not supporting a business that profiles me and makes their customers feel uncomfortable. There's better business else where I promise. They may have signs outside that say they want to build community, but their actions made it obvious they do not. So unfortunate when Berkeley is full of diversity. To the woman working, if you're reading this, do better. UPDATE: Turns out her name was Lisa. My friend confronted her and Lisa claimed she wasn't following us, but said she always goes behind customers straightening up after them. However, I saw her mostly looking through the clothes racks that line the left side of the store. Get this, we NEVER touched the clothes racks, so she's obviously lying. My friend said she wouldn't look her in the eye when being confronted and 'apologizing' about the experience and it clearly felt disingenuous. My one review might not do anything, but let karma get her."

"Fabulous store and one can find anything of all prices for a gift or for oneself. Everything is beautifully displayed, and the earrings are truly divine. The service is excellent and Lisa and Amy are very knowledgeable of their merchandise and very helpful. Highly recommend Apriori Store."
