This place is yet another example of a sad Utah attempt to bring ""culture"" to the SL valley, but falls embarassingly short. Fake glam-Buddhism and crystal-worship might have a warm home in SLC, but if this store had a few bongs thrown in, it'd basically be indistinguishable from a hippie/head-shop superstore.
Add the fact that they obviously sicced their butchiest female employee to sit and glare at/follow me on my visit to the store (because apparently they must get lone 27 y/o male thieves a lot) and you can can guarantee I'll never be going back. They could have at least FAKED customer service and asked if I needed help while trying to peer in my pockets, but they're a staff that doesn't seem the type to take kindly to phallus-bearing customers, and assumed that I was a shop-lifter with no basis at all.
Normally the existence of these crappy little shops wouldn't bother me too much, but given the hostility I was shown in this store, I will actively advocate against shopping at this establishment to anyone who'll listen.
