Apple Crate Naturals — Restaurant in Hope Mills

I wanted to love this place but I'm actually pretty heartbroken over it. The cashier was walking through aisles, coughing, without a mask, around products, near my mother and I. This is a very small store, which makes it hard to socially distance. When they checked us out, they asked if they should put a mask on, something about how they lost their last one? They then proceeded to put one on. My father died at 65 of "Covid" Jan 27th. He had every symptom, but wasn't officially tested because tests weren't available then.

I asked him if that was his family he was speaking with and he stated he didn't know them, just assisting. Great...

My first experience at Apple Crate really wasn't an experience. I checked the website to see what time they close on Thursday, due to the fact that I work 8-5pm, it stated 9-8pm.
