Kustom Kulture

Took a friend here last summer and will never return to this cesspool of white hipster faux anarchist anti-​establishment «ally» (LOL) types. If you’re not white or a PoC that rides their bike everywhere, wears torn up thrift shop clothes and dumpster dives on a regular basis, expect to be ignored and/​or treated like crap (it’s interesting that they had no problem greeting and serving the 2 white guys that came into the store before and after us).
I desperately wanted to purchase some tickets for the Music in Unity concert coming up but want nothing to do with these people, guess I’ll try my luck at the door! The very fact that these morons are selling tickets to an event that’s focus is on social justice IS A COMPLETE JOKE.
Until I find a better and similar establishment in Winnipeg I’ll continue shopping at Bob’s Headquarters in Brandon where the staff won’t take one look at a «conventionally attractive» and «well-​dressed» WoC and decide I’m not worth their time, energy and money.

I had come in to purchase a hookah. I had come back from a trip, and had really enjoyed hookah at a lounge. When I came in it was mid April, and was looking at the hookah’s they had. They were the third establishment I’d gone to to look for one. The man working at the counter told me if I came back on April 20^th it would be on sale, so that’s what I did. (Which I really appreciated) I came in and purchased a modest hookah, and brought it home. I had a very busy summer, and a couple months later a friend was over and we decided to put it together. Unfortunately, the pipe that goes into the bowl, was too small for the attachment. I didn’t have time to go back to deal with it, and eventually I forgot about it. I was walking by one day and stopped in and the two people working said to bring it by, no problem, they’d work it out. Again, I became stupid busy and only got back there this past Wednesday. The young man that helped me out was super kind and patient and really wanted me to be happy. They took my hookah, and sent it away to be fit for a proper part. He called that afternoon to tell me they don’t make that hookah anymore and that they’ve replaced my hookah with another one. When I picked it up the next afternoon, it was even nicer than the initial one I had bought. On top of all that, I didn’t even have the receipt. That’s probably not their regular practice, but they knew that hookah was from there, and I told them the price and date, and they were super cool. What great customer service! I’m extremely pleased.
