Almost like the General Store from the 1800's but with modern goods.

Trinidad was a super helpful employee. Helped me by cutting a new key for our home, great conversationalist. Prices were so cheap I tried to tip him for his assistance. Could not convince him to accept, very humble and I appreciate good service like his.

Attitude matters. A huge aspect of running a business is the attitude you have towards people and neighbors, both existing customers and potential new ones. This shapes public opinion and is inescapably linked to how people are treated in every other aspect of a business. The ownership of Workbench on Main makes their attitude of disrespect quite clear before you even decide to park and come inside and potentially become a customer, via the extra conspicuous Tow Away parking signs everywhere. They *regularly* have cars towed; sometimes they also have tow trucks waiting in the lot. The laughable $15 pay-for parking sign during any kind of event downtown also helps reinforce this. Employees of nearby businesses are also treated the same way. This despite the fact that many, many people come to downtown for more than one thing and often stop at additional businesses they see while they are there. Sure, you could make the argument that they *can* do what they want (apparently they own the whole parking lot). However, they have obviously failed to consider if they *should*. This other half of business decisions is often what determines if a business stays in business - the is it really worth it? and how will this affect the perception of new and existing customers?. For my wife and I, the result of this attitude was the decision to never again shop at this business. We will spend our money at other businesses that have the common sense to address their customers with at minimum, the benefit of the doubt, if not respect. We will advise all our friends and family to do the same.
