Brown & Hopkins Offers FREE Gift Wrapping...

At Brown & Hopkins, we NEVER charge you for gift wrapping.
It is just one of those things we offer our customers and we LOVE doing it....for FREE!
We received a "funny" phone message yesterday when we got into work on Tuesday...
It seems that a "gentleman" did some shopping on Sunday.
Our wonderful Angela proceeded to ask him if he needed anything gift wrapped.
He mentions in his phone message..."I was pleasantly surprised with her great attitude and said,' Of course...I would love it!'......but then this is where the phone message gets verrrryy interesting (Inspector Cluso voice)....
He then goes on to say that we "wacked him a buck-fifty each" for the gift wrapping, and that we failed to notify him of "this extra charge"......and that maybe if we would let the public know about our "gift wrapping charge", that maybe we "would be in business til 3009......." Can you just imagine how fluffy his feathers are with this comment??? GRRRR
After speaking to Angela, it seems that the "gentleman" must have forgotten that he purchased two bags of candy at "a buck-fifty each", in addition to the two gifts that were gift-wrapped (for free).
So the moral of the story is two-fold.......
1) Don't eat all your candy on the way home, and then inspect your receipt
and
2) Leave your name and number when leaving messages so we may return your phone call. In fact, we encourage you to let us know how we are doing (good or not so good).....we'll return all phone calls. Just like our caller, and all of our customers, I would also like Brown & Hopkins to be around in 3009, so my grandchildrens' grandchildren can buy their own little brown bag of candy.......
Thanks goes out to everyone who visited us over the weekend! The weather cooperated and it was a fun festive weekend! Lots of happy shoppers turned out for the big sidewalk sale.....over 500 satisfied customers! Well maybe 499....

OH, and by the way, we have some great mark downs on some of our curtains this week! Hurry in for the best selection!
