A: I stopped in here while wandering through the Miracle Mile Shops (connected to Planet Hollywood) in search of some unique t-shirts that weren't plastered with anything Vegas or The Hangover related, which many of this mall's souvenir shops seem to be selling. I have a vast collection of t-shirts and prefer those that are stylized and different, but also weave some subtlety into their designs. I was instantly drawn to this Hawaii-based store's shirts given their unique designs and very bright colors. I especially liked their collection of Maui Brewing Company t-shirts, cartoonist Bernard Kliban's bizarre Cat designs that are wickedly deranged, and some of their tribal art shirts that prominently feature turtles that supposedly symbolize safety and longevity in Hawaiian culture. Meanwhile, the bright dyes they use on their fabrics are culled from natural sources, such as volcanic ash for a dark gray, Kona Coffee for a light tan, chiles for a deep red, and cold hard cash for a bright light green. This makes these shirts instant conversation starters, and gives you a story to tell if you plan to buy them as gifts.

Q: negative

A: Maybe it was a bad day. There must have been a hundred employees running around the store, but there was only one cashier on full service, a cashier who had plainly just been trained. She should have had a manager bagging for her to help out ; instead she had to keep calling for help. As a result, even though she was already in the process of checking out the customer before me when I got in line, it took about fifteen minutes before I walked out with my thirteen items. Fortunately the ones she undercharged me for more or less made up for the ones on which I was overcharged. There certainly is a lot of stuff here. Other people I know say the to-go counters are pretty good. Lots of frills, like a dietitian and clubhouse and pharmacy. The selection of actual groceries is average, below average for produce. Prices: not as good as Woodman's or Trader Joe's Produce: not as good in quality as Willy Street Co-op, Jenifer Street Market, or Trader Joe's Veggie options: a limited selection in the health food department, with prices on the steep side To-go counters: looked fresh and pretty good, but I didn't see anything vegetarian there so I passed on them Bakery: looked okay, but the items I wanted came only in plastic multi-packs, so I passed on this too

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE!!!! I bought some angel wings for Halloween that snapped as soon as I tried them on! I tried to talk to the manager STAR that is horrible I cant believe she is the manager btw..I know their policy is no returns or exchanges but obviously you do that because you know your products are a piece of crap and I just bought 2 hours before so I wanted my money back because the rest of the wings they had looked as if a dog chewed them up! Not to mention there was glitter everywhere! Horrible customer service and rude! Save yourself the hastle! Unorganized store and customer service sucks and hope you never have to deal with anyone here especially star!! Keep your $15 dollar wings and use that as a tip you obviously needed it more than I did! I hope this store gets shut down!!!
