I went in here with my three children on a whim. I didn't even know the store existed. I am a Christmas ornament fanatic, so I was very happily picking out ornaments to buy. There was no one else in the store except for a very nice young woman who was working the register. All of a sudden, my son came up to me and said there was an older woman who wouldn't stop staring at him. My kids had been quietly looking at stuffed animals. I turned around, surprised, because I didn't even know there was anyone else in there. Sure enough, there was an older woman staring right at us. I turned back around and told my son that it was fine, that I was sure she was just happy to see some children. (Ha! Boy was I wrong.) He went back to the stuffed animals where his sisters were. At this time, I heard the older woman start talking to the young woman at the register. She said something along the lines of "putting something in his pocket, can't you check the cameras". I turned around and asked her directly if she thought we were stealing. She then accused my son of stealing, and putting something in his pockets. I explained to her that was ridiculous, and my kids do not steal. He did have a phone, which he had taken out, and then put back in his pocket. He is not a fan of the items in Hallmark, not surprisingly. She was unbelievably rude and insulting. I set my ornaments down on the counter, and told her I would never return to her store. I feel sorry for the young woman that has to work with that awful lady. Make sure you only go in here if you are White and wealthy appearing. She missed out on a nice sale, and I will just shop online from now on. Shame on you, lady. read more
