Albert H. Schmitt Family Farms on Bagatelle!

Firstly, I am happy to hear that you enjoyed the pumpkin patch.Secondly, I am very upset to read the rest of your review. We strongly oppose any racism or discrimination. That being said, I feel that you have made some very wrong assumptions! First assumption is that the cashier was a Schmitt. She is not. However, she has worked at our farm for many years and is well received by all our guests. You bought donuts in the back food area. They are also sold in the front sales area. In order for us to tell if the donuts are paid for, the cashiers are instructed to put a paid sticker on them. Otherwise, it’s nearly impossible to quickly discern whether they have been paid for. Unfortunately, the cashier in the food area must not have put a sticker on your package. That is unusual, but it was the end of long day for all so she must have made a mistake. As you walked through the second sales area and didn’t approach the cashier, the cashier stated “I am guessing that you paid for the donuts in the back although I don’t see a sticker.” And you responded, “I’m guessing I did”. You offered a receipt, but she trusted you. Her only thought is that the other cashier forgot. The cashiers are instructed to ask for receipts for merchandise as it leaves the farm from every single customer. The fact that she did not ask you for a receipt was not following policy, but rather placing trust in you. She made an assumption that you were telling the truth. Her concern about your shoelaces being untied is a concern for your safety which again you did not appreciate. It seems like no matter what she did, you were assuming the worst of her without even knowing what a good person she is. She is appalled that you called her a racist because of all the good work she has done for all people. We take a great deal of pride in the diversity of our staff and our clientele. We would hope that you take this review down because it does not reflect the spirit of the farm. If you would like to discuss further, you can also email me at [email protected]. In the meantime, I hope that this response alleviates your concern about the cashier’s intentions.
