1 /5 Julia Angeline: I was quietly waiting for my coffee from the shop next door, holding my baby and in fact admiring the boutique’s showcase when the owner came out and rudely asked me to move away from the window because she was going to clean it. I wasn’t blocking the entrance or causing any inconvenience — just standing on the sidewalk. The window was clean. Her tone caught me off guard and it was completely unnecessary and unkind. It was an unpleasant interaction that left me with a poor impression of her business.
