Old Things & Objects — Local services in Astoria

I went in here with my friend and the owner / man that worked there proceeded to stare my friend and I up and down, we felt as if he was looking at our bodies. I tried to ignore it and carried on looking at the rings and avoided looking at him, it escalated to the point my friend and I became very uncomfortable and decided that it was time to leave.

He proceeded to follow us around the store as we were about to leave and started to accuse us of stealing. I have never stolen anything in my life and he had no reason to accuse us of stealing. He then said how we were hiding in corners! We were literally just looking around the store and most antique stores have tight corners anyway... if it looked like we were hiding it was only because as soon as we walked in he started staring us up and down.

He then "sorry" sarcastically and said he gets a lot of people that steal from the store. What does that have to do with us? He had no reason at all to think we were stealing. My friend told him she'd leave a bad review and I said he has been making us uncomfortable this whole time... I wanted to say more but I didn't want the situation to escalate so I held back. He proceeded to just stare very angrily at my friend only a few feet away which I then pulled her away from the situation and told her we need to leave.

It was a scary and creepy situation to be in... good luck getting any customers if that's how you treat people. I actually liked a few things in there and would have given you my money if you hadn't treated us so badly for no reason.

Creepy and just a weird vibe in there in...

Stay away!!! This store has a rude, standoffish owner who stared at my wife and her friend, before accusing her of stealing from his store. After he argued with my wife, she felt creeped out and alienated, so she left as fast as possible. The store has dark vibes, and we're not the only ones who've noticed. A recent post on Facebook also shared a similar experience, where someone was ran out of the store for answering a phone call. He certainly didn't want our business, and he PROBABLY doesn't want...

Always closed for a “10 minute break” . Went to walk through the door another day and was rudely greeted by an old man telling me “it’s too damn hot in here I have to take a break” … not my fault you don’t have air conditioning. Just rude and uncomfortable. I wouldn’t recommend this...
