1 /5 Kyle Quinn: Visited this shop with my friend recently. We come here every so often since she enjoys browsing the Mexican artwork, especially the collection of skeleton lover dioramas that are able to be opened and closed. Note she is a dark-skinned Mexican woman while I am the palest Irishman youll meet.
While browsing the bags (which she was thinking about buying), we noticed one of the workers watching us from behind the counter. Not thinking anything of it, we moved over to the right section of the store through the little walkway when we observed that same worker whisper to her co-worker. The same worker then followed us to the other side, looked at us, and then turned slightly to face the bags on the wall, presumably pretending to rearrange them while watching us from the corner of her eye. The store had other patrons roaming around, but we didnt notice other employees tailing them. Before I was able to say anything, my friend said, "Lets go," and we left.
This incident left her upset especially since she was contemplating buying a bag. Unfortunately, she had purchased a mirror from this store for her mother a few months back. A business profiting off of Mexican and Buddhist craftsmanship. Just a more bougie Traveling Buddha for the wealthy citizens of Rhinebeck.
