Really horrible experience. We were treated like human garbage. My husband, two young kids and I were on our way out to dinner for my birthday and saw our intended restaurant was packed. So we pulled off the busy road so that we could use a phone safely instead of while driving, just needing two minutes to get our bearings and be on our way. We pulled into the parking lot at Perle Vision, which had many many free spaces open. We were instantly harassed by an employee, who despite my assurances that we were leaving, kept coming up to our car and trying to shoo us away. My husband stepped out to try to reason with him, and this man insulted my husband using swear words IN FRONT of my kids and then threatened to call the police on us, which terrified them. For using a space for literally thirty seconds, this man was going to call the police on us. So I go inside to make a complaint to the manager, and this man, who is named Bob, harassed me the whole time I was speaking. To her credit, the manager was quite patient and calm, but nothing she said could control Bobs mouth and the words of unkindness he chose to use. She also didn't apologize, and was obviously trying to placate me so I would leave. I suggested he get it together, customer service shouldn't be like this. He insinuated to me that I was a bad mother. I told him I was showing my kids that they should stand up to bullies and left. But the damage wasn't over. I absorb emotional negativity from others physically, it manifests as illness. Stomachache, headache, insomnia, etc. I felt ill and shaken by his unkindness all evening, and it kept me from being able to enjoy a rare dinner out with my family. At one point, I sent them in to find us a table somewhere so I could cry by myself in the car without them seeing. We didn't stay, I was too depressed to want to be out anymore. It was the worst birthday of my adult life.
