Trailer Park Collectibles — Attraction in Fernandina Beach

I have been a regular customer here for a few years now and have bought a multitude of different things, having very pleasant conversations with the various people running the front counter. However, what I experienced today is unlike anything I’ve ever encountered. Before entering the store, there’s a sign stating that you need to be 18 or older to enter without a legal guardian, which is already weird for a retail store. Being an over-18 adult woman, I entered with my younger sister, for whom I have a shared custody agreement, making me one of her legal guardians.

The first lady was very kind and welcomed us into the store, but then there was an older lady behind her who seemed to be knitting. She looked at us and asked, “Are either of you 18 or older?” I told her I am, and she replied, “Well, you need to read the sign.” I explained that I had and was ready to show my ID when she said, “She can’t be in here if she is under 18.” I explained that I am her guardian and therefore we should be allowed to shop there, but she insisted my sister had to wait outside because “sisters don’t count.” This is absolutely ridiculous since I am legally one of her guardians.

As I walked out, she said, “Goodbye, kids,” which I found extremely rude, considering I’m an adult woman with an ID that she wouldn’t even bother to check. Instead, she just shunned away some loyal customers. I don’t believe I’ll be returning here unless I can say without a doubt that she isn’t working.

I’m an adult woman, I expect to be...

Lady was incredibly offensive and rude. My 12 year old daughter asked her for the price of some candy. She looked at her and immediately accused her of putting candy in her bag. This shook my daughter up and she told her she didn't take anything and she could search her stuff. By this time I began to step over there in intervene when I heard her then ask my daughter how old she was and who she was in there with. All over asking for the price of a pixie stick. We literally went in that store for 2 minutes to look at some vacation souvenirs and left upset. While thus could be a story of misunderstanding and resolved then and there, she decided to go the route of being a jerk and not creating a very welcoming environment. There are plenty of other shops you could go to that have much better quality items and mostly customer service. If I were not a gentleman I would have let this lady have a piece of my mind. Instead I am just warning any and all to be weary of this low class...

I really liked this antique shop! They had a pretty great selection of varied antiques for decent prices, and most everything was in very good condition! It was organized quite well and not overly cluttered, which I really appreciate, as I tend to get overstimulated easily. My favorite “booth” was actually an upstairs loft in the back, completely full of gorgeous vintage clothing! There were even a few Gunne Sax prairie dresses, which I’m always on the lookout for and rarely come by. The staff was so sweet, and I had a lovely time browsing through! I can’t wait to stop by the next time I visit my family...
