Serra Shop, Santa Barbara CA

I was at the Santa Barbara Mission’s gift shop, the Serra Shop, and I removed a 4 inch Virgin of Guadalupe holy water holder from the display wall because I thought that was the only one left and I wanted to purchase it. One of the employees there scolded me (and mind you, I’m about 30 years older than her) like I was a child pointing to a small sign I didn’t notice that said not to remove the displays from the wall. She immediately snatched the item from my hand and hung back on the wall and told me she’ll get another one from the back. I waited 10 long minutes just for her to come out telling me the one on the wall was their last one, and if I still wanted it. Of course I wanted it, but the way she treated me, a paying customer, was unacceptable!
