They also have 'touchless shopping' signs throughout to remind shoppers to look with their eyes unless they're serious about purchasing an item. The represented brands range from clothing apparel to accessories and jewelry. They also have holistic care brands along with candles and other fragrances.

There is also signage around the store calling for "touchless shopping" and everyone is quick to help upon request. It also looked like there were several orders waiting to be picked up, curb-side style. Might be worth looking into if you still aren't a fan of shopping in a brick and mortar just yet.

And someone on the computer, with a lady walking around along with one on the phone, it was a bit distracting NOT PRIVATE AT ALL. It was also timed 15min $20. I decided to give this place a try because I saw them on Yelp events Overall the lady that did the reading was nice but the distraction around me was not good. You would think they ask if you would prefer privacy but I guess they just do readings out in the open, I looked around briefly but left right after the reading.
