Washington Welcome Center — Local services in Washington

After my husband and I had breakfast today we walked into this souvenir shop. There was a cut-out of President Donald J. Trump so we took our picture with it. I noticed while my husband was taking my picture, there were two women watching. After I moved away one woman walked up to the cut-out, pulled a sign out of her bag, and had the other woman take her pic. The sign read, "F*ck Trump! No King!". She held the sign while giving the cut-out the middle finger. ALL of the workers in the souvenir shop were cheering and clapping her. I turned to my husband and said I was ready to leave; I wouldn't spend one red cent in that shop. Saturday, June 14th, 2025 at approximately 2:00 - 2:15 pm.

When we checked out, the cashier said “put it here,” referring to the merchandise I was buying, which was a good amount. Rude service and so-so...

All was going well with my shopping at the 1001 location until I went to the counter and attempted to order my multiple clothes. I was ordering three jumpers saying Washington dc, all in different colours. (Orange, blue and pink). All three of the jumpers were exactly the same - the same brand and same style, all that differed was the colour. Yet at the counter the employee told me that the pink jumper was $3 more than the others. I told her many times that all the jumpers were the same and therefore should all cost the same, but this was to no avail. I eventually gave up after she couldn't think of anything to say and walked away. I will not be shopping at this location or this store again, and I urge other potential customers to look for better...
