So glad that 90% of your trip was wonderful. Even the tastiest apple might have a worm. Unfortunately, you found a worm.
As a business owner I would not, could not abide employee's ignoring a customer. As a business owner, if I had walked in when that was happening ... I would have happily made the announcement to all that the ladies that ignored you, that they would be donating a 25% discount to you from their pay checks.
