I visited Culture Arts on Cannery Row today with my wife and kids, and the experience was…read moreuncomfortable from the second we walked in. The owner/artist immediately started hovering and acting like we were there to steal instead of shop. Constant comments about "being careful," watching us closely, and speaking to my wife and kids in a suspicious, disrespectful tone. My kids are well-behaved and know how to respect art, so that wasn't the issue at all. What really stood out was the obvious double standard. While we were being watched like a problem, other (non-Latino) customers were freely browsing, holding items, and being treated with kindness and actual customer service. When we were looking at some rings, he got even more tense--watching us and even checking the cameras like he expected us to take something. Then he approached my wife again in the back asking if she was buying something instead of just letting her browse. At that point, the vibe was already off. As we were leaving, he kept staring me down in a confrontational way. I finally asked him what his problem was, and instead of addressing anything, he just repeated "do you need anything?" like nothing was wrong. That pretty much summed up the whole interaction. Honestly, the way he carried himself was embarrassing--more like a paranoid mall cop than a business owner. Not welcoming, not professional, just uncomfortable. It's disappointing to see a place centered around Mexican culture turn around and treat a Mexican family like they don't belong. We were ready to spend money, but respect matters more. We walked out. Do better.
