White House History Shop (Official) — Local services in Washington

We had a really bad experience at this shop a few weeks ago while visiting from Canada. This was our last stop after the white house tour, and it started raining heavily. Since we had parked far away, my family and I just waited inside until the rain slowed down.

That’s when an older lady with curly hair and glasses started watching us and even told the security guards to kick us out. We’re a family with an autistic child, and it was very upsetting to be treated like that. What hurt the most is that the shop was full of people, but she only focused on us. We were the only Asians there, and it honestly felt discriminatory.

All we wanted was to shop for souvenirs, KATHY O’CONNELL. I hope you read this review and understand the lasting impact you just made on my...
