However, my favorite part about coming to the store is speaking with Terri. She is the most wonderful and kind person. I truly have never met anyone like her. My thoughts on the mask policy.. if the owner tells you that you have to wear a mask, you should respect that. It’s your choice whether you go in or not. However, I do feel it’s a little unfair for you to give this historical, unique place a negative review."
