I was excited to find out that there was a consignment shop in East Lyme. I buy lots of retro suits and separates, so I thought I would check them out. Well, I guess they go by the "no service" philosophy. After figuring out that you had to walk through outfits hanging in your face to find the doorway, I entered, eager for some "finds". When I entered, there were 3 women up front. I believe one was a regular customer, the other two owners and /or employees. They glanced at me and immediately went back to their conversation without missing a beat. I browsed around, did see some things I wanted to try on, but was dismayed by the fact that still no one said a word to me. I returned the items and walked out, getting hit in the face by a pair of pants flying in the wind outside as the final insult. I will not be back.
