City Center Gallery & Books — Local services in Fayetteville

Tonight (11/14/20) I was walking downtown with two girlfriends after having dinner at Lake Gaston. We were passing by this bookstore, and my friend was saying goodbye to her kid on the telephone as we passed. The male owner, who I am familiar enough with to identify as such after many years in Fayetteville, stepped out the door and loudly asked my friend if she needed “psychological help”. When we all faltered and just stared at him he continued to talk to her about whether she needed mental health help until she told him that she has a masters in psychology, so no, she’s good, and we walked away still a little unsure of what exactly just happened.

However the self-important attitude of one of the owners, an older gentleman I believe, drove my husband and I away for good. No one likes to be treated like a second class citizen. I expected better from once nice and accommodating people. Maybe I'm not being entirely fair seeing as this was my first experience with him, but one time was enough to leave a permanent bad taste in my mouth. Definitely appears to take himself a little too seriously and acted as though he is above people. I complained about him to a lady on the phone, she was nice enough. Maybe he can take a page out...
