Itchy's Flea Market — Local services in Columbia

If a store has got basic policies they absolutely must enforce, there are better ways of going about it than, say, snapping at a customer walking in to shop, who was asking to leave their stuff at the counter while browsing out of common respect for the establishment's peace of mind, before being embarrassed in front of God and everyone because someone working there was so eager to use the authority granted to them by a FLEA MARKET next door to a LOL probation and parole office, they couldn't help but screech over the customer that they "need to leave, read the sign on the door," as though the customer had staggered in drunk taking blind swings at everyone around him. THIS PLACE - WITH PARTICULAR ATTENTION TO ITS EMPLOYEES, AND YES, I MEAN ALL OF YOU - HAS BEEN ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE IN THE MANNER WHICH THEY HAVE SPOKEN TO MYSELF AND OTHERS. I AM A GROWN MAN IN MY MID-30S, I AM SAYING "PLEASE," "THANK YOU," "MAY I," "PARDON ME," AND ALL THE PLEASANTRIES PEOPLE YOUR AGE PLACE SO MUCH IMPORTANCE ON, YET YOU DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO RECIPROCATE TO ANYONE WHO DOESN'T SEEM OLD ENOUGH TO HAVE EARNED IT YET? MAYBE YOU HAVE TO HAVE A CHIP ON YOUR SHOULDER TO QUALIFY FOR A JOB THERE? WHO KNOWS?! YOU SHOULD BE EMBARRASSED.

Had I been as inconsiderate or thoughtless as I guess I must have appeared to you, you would have set possibly the worst example for me by actually being as inconsiderate and thoughtless as that. If you would have credited me with the respect due to anyone politely trying to speak to you, or ask for your assistance, you would have heard a much different person than whoever it was you thought deserved to be browbeaten by you in public before they had taken so much as 3 steps through the door, because I would like to think it wasn't me, since I've returned more than once already after similar incidents in which one of you thought it would be alright to condescend to me in front of strangers and personal friends, alike. Yes, I'm so awful, I've let your abuses slide a few times and returned to give you my money without raising any fuss until now, I absolutely deserve to be ostracized over this. I was, after all, carrying in a bag from Amazon and one from another store, and then still had the nerve to begin asking if you wouldn't mind placing them behind the counter til checkout for YOUR peace of mind, what was I thinking? I should have known better. Maybe next time you see someone carrying in bags, read those to ensure you're not actually looking at proof that they just spent money they have yet to spend in YOUR store, before you do something silly like wind up in this post for eternity.

I don't know who any of you think you are, but your utility to my work does not outweigh the cost of doing business with you, not by a galaxy's fathom. Never again.

And by the way, if you have an "ALL SALES ARE FINAL!" policy, maybe test things to see if they work before you sell everyone garbage on...

So, full disclosure. I am leaving this review with a little bit of anger. I was not there shopping but I did call them to inform them that a dealer was selling fraudulent cellphones. A dealer that rented space there is selling a S8 EDGE, which does not exist. It's clearly knockoffs that are designed to look like a s8 but generally have much inferior and shotty hardware. I wanted to inform them in case they didn't know so they don't have customers getting ripped off for 350. The lady who answered, very rudly told me they basically don't care cause the dealer paid for the spot. What angered me, is the lady hung on me. I was not rude or loud, just informed them. So I've never left a negative review but based on this lady attitude I decided to rate them bad. Any place that is okay with people ripping off others is no...

I absolutely love going to Itchy's Flea Market! As we call it a pilfers paradise. It's so easy to lose track of time because there's just so much to see in all the different booths. You could spend the whole day there and still not see everything. Some of the coolest finds include collectibles like comic books, trading sports cards, and memorabilia, as well as household items like gloves, funnels, batteries, hair clips, ointments, and cleaning solutions. They also have a great selection of office supplies and stationary items. And don't even get me started on the toys—they have everything from trending brand-new toys to vintage ones. Plus, you can find clothes, books, movies...literally, they have everything you can think of. It's a treasure...
