My daughter and I were vacationing in Asheville for her 16th birthday. One of the things we were excited to do is visit a witch/crystal shop and chose this one. There are not shops like this in the area we recently moved to. When walking in we were advised to use the sanitizer and the sign in sheet. We walked around for about 5 minutes before anyone had realized my daughter forgot her face mask in the car. One of the ladies working here started verbally attacking my daughter, as my daughter is trying to apologize and leave the store to retrieve her mask. After she walks out of the store the woman continues to rant and rave about the situation and my CHILD who made a simple mistake. When my daughter started walking back in with her mask on, I had decided not to buy anything and told her to turn around. At this point both women in the store started lecturing us about their store policy, talking over us, as we had no problem with the store policy. I had a mask on and so did the other person with us. The issue was how the situation was handled and how my 16 year old daughter was treated. One woman continues to scream at us. The other woman, while defending the others actions, was trying to defuse the situation. It was shocking and disappointing. I hate that something we were looking forward to ended up ruining the energy for the rest of the evening. Once I was able to talk to them, both apologized, and I STILL bought 2 Crystal's. I didnt get to look for everything else I had wanted, and my daughter didnt get to look at all. Hopefully the next shop will be a little more inviting. :-(
