Report
I went to Cal tile in alameda. I spent an hour after I selected the tiles explaining to the salesperson how much I needed for the bathroom walls, bathroom floors, shower floor. I had the sq footage written. I also ordered accent tile. They messed up the order and had to make a new order for the floor. Ordered only for the walls not the bathroom floor after I specifically went over the dimesnions. Then for the accent I told them the sq footage and how many inches I wanted the accent. They messed that up too. They refused to get two more sheets unless I paid 150 dollars shipping and then

Cal Tile went out of their way to help me with a rush job. They have a remarkably extensive variety of tile. It was worth checking with Cal Tile.

Awful experience. You're not allowed to go in the store to look even though there's NO ONE in the store. They won't even let one customer in at a time. So I had to stand at the door in the cold and wind and "tell them what I wanted", which is hard to do when you're looking for ideas and are open to many things. So they brought me a few pieces.

I don't know anyone who is in the middle of looking and choosing
