My
partner
and
I
came
in,
I
have
a
skin
disorder
currently
being
treated
by
a
new
medication.
I
was
having
an
allergic
reaction
to
the
new
med
and
due
to
loss
of
vision
desperately
needed
to
flush
out
my
eyes.
At
the
front
door
it
said
that
non-customers
could
not
use
the
restroom
and
that
offenders
would
be
charged
$5.
Desperate
for
relief,
we
decided
to
enter
and
go
directly
to
the
staff
to
pay
for
me
using
the
restroom,
so
they
would
know
we
weren't
trying
to
deceive
them.
Upon
entering,
we
were
stopped
by
what
I
assume
is
the
owner.
In
front
of
all
of
the
customers
she
said
I
could
not
use
the
restroom
and
started
raising
her
voice.
We
began
to
explain
that
it
was
emergency
and
that
I
was
having
an
allergic
reaction
to
a
new
medication
and
needed
to
flush
my
eyes,
but
she
wouldn't
let
us
speak.
She
kept
saying
the
restroom
was
only
for
customers.
I
brought
out
the
medication
to
show
her
we
were
telling
the
truth
and
really
were
willing
to
pay
the
$5
fee
and
she
insisted
only
customers
could
use
the
restroom,
that
I
was
not
allowed.
So
then
my
partner
offered
to
step
in
line
to
buy
a
coffee
so
that
I
could
use
the
restroom
and
the
owner
began
to
yell,
telling
us
to
leave
her
shop.
At
this
point
I
am
in
tears
trying
to
explain
that
we
would
do
whatever
we
needed
to
to
do
have
access
to
cold
water
and
she
started
waving
her
hands
and
yelling
more,
making
her
way
to
in
front
of
us.
I
left,
in
shock
by
the
way
we
were
treated,
and
headed
down
the
block
in
desperate
search
for
any
open
business.
Luckily
a
church
graciously
let
us
in
and
I
was
able
to
gain
my
vision
back.
But
this
business
owner
is
incredibly
hateful,
disrespectful,
aggressive,
and
seems
to
be
homophobic.
I
have
never
been
treated
so
awfully
by
a
business
and
am
disheartened
to
see
a
business
in
as
progressive
of
a
place
as
Saint
Pete
Central
Station
Street,
famous
for
being
the
"Gayborhood",
showing
absolute
hatred,
discrimination,
and
intolerance.
