Killington lack of services unwelcoming

Dear Editor,

Does Vermont really welcome tourists? We happened to visit Killington recently and as we passed through Killington we decided to stop at a local general store for snacks and we both needed to use the restroom. Guess what? The store had a rest room for employees only and I was told to use the bushes in the back and was offered no solution for my 70-year-old wife. My point is they definitely are willing to take our money but not really tourist friendly.
