(Reposting as a local guide based on a top yelp reviewer request with authorization from Yelp)
Racist act took place against a mother and a child started by a hostile patron and which resulted in personal attacks from the employees and some regulars (against the mother and child) who ganged up on the obviously foreigner mother and a child, owners acted as villagers defending their people not as business owners justifying all that had happened making up lies and accusations, shameful.
Here s part of the review and the rest can be read on Yelp:
I witnessed the most ignorant and bit racist thing before my eyes take place there, there was this lady with a child that was petting the animals and enjoying their time like everyone else, the child was handling baby bunnies then a lady comes from behind them started being rude about how tiny the bunnies are and that they shouldn't be touching them, even though many people did before them but I saw this lady giving them dirty looks before that incident for some reason she looked like she doesn't like the way they look or the non-English language they were speaking, the lady kept yapping about that non-stop so the mother took the bunny from the child's hands and put it back in place asking that lady in a very nice way to stop that and they moved to the next thing, now I saw that lady talking with everyone and claiming that she saw the mother and her child abusing the animals and she was going to call the management and of course other women there got worked up over that, saw the child playing with another animals and they approached the mother to stop her child, at that moment the mother was very upset and felt targeted so she said that they did nothing wrong and there was no sign saying not to touch the baby animals and her child like all children there loves to hold the baby animals, of course the lady that stirred all that came back with a couple of women who work at the pretzel hut who to my surprise did not ask questions but came yelling when the mother and child where sitting on a bench holding the baby bunny, what made me believe it's an act of racism and targeting that woman and her child is that when the server in a blue pretzel hit shirt came in the most unprofessional and rude way telling the mother to give her the bunny she started yelling in front of everyone that the mother "shoved the bunny at her" I was very close to the bench where the mother and her child were sitting and saw with my own eyes that the mother held the bunny with her both hands and put it in that angry employee hands, there was no shoving, at that point the mother was so upset and because of all the screaming match that was going on she said she's did no harm to the animals and that she doesn't understand why are those women hanging up on her like that then asked them to go check the cameras before believing that woman (that was still yelling in the back that they should call the cops) the yelling keep going on and on even when she said she was leaving they kept telling her to leave and never come back (just to be extra mean to make it sound like she was kicked out) oh they told her there are no cameras! Yet they made a judgement based on some crazy woman's act just because she was loud enough, and that employee that came and was standing there being rude making it like a high school fight made up a big fat lie that no one dared to say anything about? She was rude and non-smiling when serving customers too but I never thought an employee representing a place of business that's supposed to be professional would act that way, it made me sad because I as a mother was the target a lot for mom-shaming and people who find nothing better to do with their times other than harassing families with children but it was the first time I saw this amount of ganging up on one person, maybe it's a village mentality? Who knows,
