Cathedral Gift Shop — Local services in San Jose

Accused of stealing a $4 pin from a Church gift shop!?? Yep! I've never been accused of stealing anything ever in my life, let alone from a Church Gift shop lol.... Very uncomfortable experience.

Either way, this was a horrible experience, it was embarrassing and rude to be called out for stealing when you didn't steal. The worse feeling ever. I saw that the weird clerk was counting all the car pins that were on the rack, so he soon found out that everything matched up with the inventory. He lost two customers who would have gladly came back to spend more $ in the future. What a...
