Therapy Stores — Local services in Livermore

In my 30+ years of living in this country as an Asian American, this is the first time I felt I was racially profiled. It was subtle but so obvious at the same time…

I was taking photos of the store and the shop girl asked me not to. I apologized right away and asked if I had missed a “no photo policy” sign when I entered the store. She said there was no sign but they just don’t people taking pictures of the store.

If you don’t have a strict policy and would allow it on case-by-case basis for social media sharing, you should’ve asked me for my intention first instead of assuming I was doing something fishy in your store. It is very distasteful and presumptuous. It’s a shame but I don’t think I will ever step into this...

My favorite's come to clothing and jewelry with styles that never go out of season and I...
