  Geppetto’s has always been one of the reasons we enjoy visiting UTC—my daughter, who is on the autism spectrum, loves picking out sticker books and exploring the toys. Unfortunately, today’s experience left us feeling unwelcome. During a moment of sensory overload, my daughter accidentally knocked over some toy boxes. I immediately apologized, and while the asian employee initially said “it’s okay,” her expression quickly changed once she realized we are not white people. Her visible annoyance and lack of empathy were disheartening—especially in a store that caters to children and families of all backgrounds. This kind of response, especially toward a child with special needs, was disappointing and hurtful. Sadly, we won’t be returning.
