There is an ever-increasing ease of shopping online, for easier service and candidly better prices.\n\nIn spite of this, I try to shop locally to support. So I went to AZ Art Supply on Friday afternoon. I arrived close to closing time, (I was told this three times before I reached for a cart) and proceeded to look to restock my art studio. Candidly, I was looking to splurge.\n\nI felt rushed and disrespected the entire time I was in the store. They weren't interested in me as a customer, but rather getting the store shut down and me pushed out.\n\nBy the time I made it to the register, with not even close to what I was going to purchase, I was frustrated. I was \"greeted\" with, \"We are trying to close up\", I then responded with \"Yes, I am aware of that as everyone one of the employees me this\". I asked to speak with a manager, and Michael who was the rudest to me said he was the manager. \n\nI then decided NOT to purchase my items and ask for the owner's information.\n\nI called back today and asked for the owner or a manager I could speak with; initially, the person I spoke with got agitated with me even though my tone and words were even and not aggressive. He then hung up on me. I called back and was forwarded to I'm assuming a manager who did listen to my concern. \n\nI won't go back to AZ Art Supply because they took the service OUT of Customer service. Oh yeah, Friday night after leaving AZ Art, I drove 20 minutes away from AZ Art and shopped at Jerry's Artarama of Tempe.\n\nI see that a Susan has responded to my review from over a month ago. \n\nMy name isn't Mike and your response does not reflect that you read my review OR understand customer service for me or Mike."^^ . .
