Main Gift Shop SRQ — Local services in Sarasota

Very disappointed! Couldn't find a 3XL t-shirt after looking thru several colors with the help of the sales associate (a gentleman). Finally he held one up and said he had found one. I told him the color was fine (but I never did see the tag). He began making our t-shirts as I watched. He told me I didn't need to watch him, to just look around the store, so we did.
