Zukovich's Farm Market — Local services in Rush Township

But the women who work there are weirdly rude for no apparent reason. When I said hello and thank you as I paid for my stuff, I just got blank stairs and they rang up my items without saying a word. Interaction felt weird like I had done something wrong,...
