I am disabled and have a handicap placard. It expired 12 days ago and I am awaiting new paperwork from my doctor to submit to the DMV. I still need to park handicap and have proof of everything.
After visiting the Napa Flea Market to purchase my produce I came back to my car with a boot on it. There were signs in English/Spanish saying I needed to go to the office to have it removed. I could not walk anymore so fortunately my husband found an employee.
I do not feel I need to prove my disability to anyone, but still did. The employee told me if I was in downtown that the same thing would have happened or I would of gotten a ticket. Well that’s one of the reasons I came there instead. It’s private property! At first I kind of understood his point, but when he continued to argue the fact after I showed him the voicemail transcript from my Doctor I thought he would be a little more understanding.
The honest truth is that I was profiled from the minute I parked my car and walked away. Being in 40ish and not using my cane is apparently a crime worth putting a boot on my car?
12 days expired and you have the audacity to tell me it’s illegal? Really are you checking all the registration on the cars in the lot and putting boots on the ones with expired tags? Police do not pull over people with tags 12 days behind. What the hell gives you the right to put a boot on my car and then instruct me to go to some office to have an employee with a key remove it? Really I’m in enough pain as it is.
Signs everywhere say “NO DOGS” (they’re everywhere here) so I highly suggest before your employees try to police the issue they get some instruction on ADA Compliance. Parking lot “paving” is a joke for anyone in...
Read moreSo much faked items here, I've been here twice recently, and it just isn't a good experience.
I stupidly bought 2 faked American eagle coins from an older Mexican man with a small stall early in the morning recently, at least he didn't charge me that much.
I went back not that long after my purchase, and he had already packed up and left the scene. Honestly this location has lost my trust in all of the vendors. All I'm saying is, be careful if you come here and consider buying something that would normally be of a higher value.
I have seen stalls with designer luxury handbags, for example.
Know your stuff, and don't be like me.
My lesson has been learned, and I will not be coming here or ever spending another dime at...
Read moreI went to the Napa-Vallejo Flea Market the first time last Sunday. I would say it's more market than flea. I was looking for folks cleaning out their house treasures and that may be on me since I went in January. There were a ton of vendors of all types and some of the food smelled amazing. Definitely had loud music playing in some of the booths. Just a heads up, parking is now $5 as most of the folks noted it was $4, must be a new year uptick. Would I go back? Not sure as its a $8 bridge toll and $5 to park and I'm not counting the gas I used. Still an interesting stop if you're in the...
