I'd rate this less if possible. I was shopping for a gift, and was disappointed in the lack of product selection.
The kicker was that after entering the shop, I was questioned about a mask. Not unusual at this time. What WAS unusual was the response. After being told I had an exemption, the salesman questioned what for. I disclosed a medical exemption, and he asked if I had paperwork to prove it. I responded that he was not allowed to ask for details according to HIPPA rules, and he had no idea what I was referring to. I explained the situation, as I do not expect everyone to fully understand, and he reluctantly stepped back.
I kept looking around, hoping to find the gift I was after, but a couple minutes later, another sales associate approached me and started asking questions, quite irritated. Again, I explained my situation, and she asked me to leave. She was very upset that I wouldn't comply with her expectation.
I am an advocate for freedom, and she had every right to ask me to leave since I assume it was her privately owned shop. My issue is with all the rudeness and questioning. I remained calm and explained why I wasn't wearing a mask, but that was not reciprocated. Even if they had something I had wanted, I wouldn't have wanted to support such sour people. They should consider their people skills if they want to work with the public. read more
