Went to Earth Guild with the purpose of buying a spinning wheel and accessories. Walked in and an…read moreolder gentleman was sitting in front, eating I believe, and never acknowledged me. I did say hi. Didn't even look my way, no hello, no welcome, nothing but silence. I tried to make eye contact numerous times to no avail. When he was done he sat there just looking straight ahead.
