I love this place, I love getting out finding treasures, I love interacting with people from all over the world coming together, having fun and making some money. Win, lose, or draw is all good with me, just to be able to get out the house because I have congestive heart failure I need to be a part of something like this, this is my thing which is 2 miles from my home. So this works just great for me. On the other hand there's is manager named Peter , that makes the market looks really bad, with favoritism towards mostly Hispanic. people giving them the best spots, move me around wherever nobody wants to go , and if somebody want that place he will take it from me. He loves to reserve spots for his favorite people mostly Hispanics. So when I made a complain or like I told them I'm here to inform you of his antics , his supervisor Shawn told me he would talk to him I was under the impression nothing's wrong with me complaining on him everything was fine , seeing how It was Friday I went back to the market put my items out for the next day. I pass Peter again and went inside the market and put my items out for the next day Saturday morning Peter came to my table harassing me and asked me did I tell on him and I told him I didn't want to talk about it he made me feel so uncomfortable I called security which was a big mistake . Then he began to proceed with since you went and told on me don't come out here next week.I waited until I had some free time which was Tuesday and went back to Shawn at the main office.try my best to explain to Shawn the situation and Shawn answer was he didn't talk to Peter yet , I thought it was all right for me to be there, Didn't make any sense then and it don't make no sense now so I came back Friday. As I approached the gate one of the other managers told me I couldn't come in without calling Pete what are you allow me to call Pete with his phone, as I was talking to Pete he didn't want to hear anything ,I was trying to explain how we should just drop this issue and move on but he was so bitter he told me to take a week off he don't want to see me for a weekend and I feel as though that wasn't right so I went back to inform on him again I think it was the wrong guy because Shawn is very biased and more favor to his employer as he said he said he didn't know me and add he rather believed his employer. I really didn't feel comfortable with him because we didn't sit down in the office we talked to the door and I told him I need 2 minutes and he told me that was it, but I mentioned to him they don't have a clue what Peter is doing over there , I told him I can prove to him of the things he doing wasn't good for the company, he asked me what was it he was doing ? I said I'm not going to tell you, if you let me work Saturday I'll prove it to you Friday at 1:00 he told me to come back he would be there at 1:30 , which was a big waste of time because the whole time they are in that winking at each other and playing at my expense and my livelihood trying to make me lose my cool and then when I told Shawn in so many words that he need to closes eyes and not so much be a team player but arbitrator he told me this meeting is over and basically stood up and walk me to the door and I mentioned to him don't worry I'm going to help you out he told me not to threaten him in the hallway I felt so embarrassed because everybody looked at me like I just threatened this man and I know for a fact I didn't threaten him, nobody heard me threaten them in any form or fashion. It let me to believe he use his position as well to do wrong and he will cover for an employer in doing wrong. I said all this to you, If you are a vender and having a problems repeatedly maybe you need to get in contact with someone in the office over Peter and Shawn maybe owner. Peter you know you're a liar and you can't win from lying , I bet you'll take this post down before the...

Read more75 years ago I was with my pa sitting cross legged at Lake Apopka looking up at the stars in awe. It was a cool Autumn’s night so I had a jacket on but no pants, only shorts and high socks. It had been an entertaining day at the lake, we had been fishing for hours and despite not catching much I felt satisfied. I remember I asked my pa if he believed there to be life out in the universe, he looked back at me with empty eyes and punched me square in the jaw and called me a nancy boy then proceeded to spit in my mouth. After the pain in my jaw subsided I looked back up at him and saw no emotion, he didn’t seem to enjoy seeing me in pain nor did he seem to dislike it. There was only a cold indifferent stare and nothing more. This flea market made me feel the same way I did that day....
