My daughter and I went into this store on December 20, 2021 to look for a gift for one of her friends. Upon entering the store, the first thing we heard was an employee asking if we had face masks. I told her to stop breaking the laws. She said she would not do business with us because we would not strap on a medical device to our faces. I advised this employee that she was violating several state, civil, and federal laws by requiring customers to obstruct their vital airways. This store and the employee are in violation of U.S. Federal Laws, The U.S. Constitution 1st Amendment.
