Okay folks… I hope I don’t offend anyone but I have to vent about my biggest pet peeve in this job:
 When customers ask for gimmicky “aphrodisiacs” (not the right word, I know, but can’t think of a better one)…
We’re talking mood creams, orgasm pills, anti-ejaculation spray, anal desensitizers, etc.  It drives me berserk when people […]

The other night we had the lovely pleasure of a visit from Doctors Carol Queen and Robert Lawrence. The event was the latest in a series of in-store classes called Ask The Doctors. These classes are free events and happen on a regular basis at all our Bay Area locations. Tonight’s class focused on Erotic […]

So two things of note today, or should I say, two colors. First let’s begin with Purple. They customer interaction was short and sweet, but nevertheless meaningful, and went a little something like this…

Me “Hi.”

Lately I have been reveling in the collection of toys I have acquired in the past few years of my life. My coworkers have all heard me go down the list in utter shock of the numbers, and they kindly giggle at my disbelief. Since starting at Good Vibrations over a year ago, […]

Dear Good Vibrations Customer,

I’ve lived in the San Francisco Bay Area my whole life. I grew up in southern Marin County with a crazy artist for a mother and an old school, city-surfer for a step-father. To say the least I grew up under the influence of fairly unconventional and slightly radical thinking. Many topics were discussed openly and without judgement in my home that in other’s were taboo. Growing up this way presented a bit of a challenge when I took my family values into the homes of other families in my town. I realized quickly that not all my friends and their parents felt or acted the same way mine and I did. At first it bothered me. So convicted was I in liberal and activist thinking, the thought of someone viewing things differently threatened the power of these beliefs.
