To be frank, I have never been treated so rudely by a complete stranger that calls herself an "outstanding business-lady" in my life. Not that I have ever met anyone with a self proclaimed opinion, but my interaction with this woman had me so upset that I simply had to let others know. If you aren't rich, don't bother with this business. All I wanted to do was browse and get a roundabout quote on a ring for my grandson. But instead, she avoided all that and simply asked what my price range was. Taken aback by how rushed she made me feel with her emotionless big eyes glaring at me, I responded with "well, I'm thinking between $300-$600 depending on if anything jumps out at me otherwise." So instead of humoring me and letting me down soft with a smile, she very rudely told me that she has nothing to offer unless I'm wanting to spend a few grand and that nowhere in Athens would have anything for me. So needless to say, Athens rubbed me wrong on my first outing. It's astounding how one rude business owner of an already run down business can ruin a guy's whole idea about an entire county. Don't spend your money here, don't even take a chance on having your good day turned to mud within seconds.
