Uptown Cheapskate Columbus Easton — Local services in Columbus

They wanted my email so bad, so now they can have it for me to leave a 1 star review. The few times I’ve gone, I’ve repeatedly denied wanting to give my phone number, email address, personal info, etc. I went to try to sell some clothes and they tell me I have to give them all this info + my driver’s license number to do so. Fine, I give in, and do it. Only after that does the worker tell me it’s an hour wait and that I can’t come back tomorrow for items they won’t purchase. I tell her I live 40 minutes away (I work very close by so that’s why I came to this one) so she is nice enough to immediately sift through my bin to see if there’s anything they’d take and she says no. With that being the case, I ask her to delete the account I just made and she said she can’t.

Whatever. I have two items I need to exchange. Employee there makes me enter more info for some reason, including my birthday now. I ask him if it has to match my ID and he said no, so I put in a random date, and then he says it does but I can’t go back so he says it’s fine. I think he did remove my email from the account at least, thankfully. I’m just not sure why a store needs all my personal information to process an exchange when I have the receipt and the items still have the tags on them.

I do my exchange and get store credit, then I drive to the Uptown Cheapskate closer to where I live because it’s evening time and I’d like more time to browse. Employee there tells me they can’t take store credits from other locations. Really wish the employees at the Morse Rd location had mentioned that, because it doesn’t state that anywhere on the exchange policy on the receipt.

Also, they kept saying they were at clothing capacity which is why they are being more picky but the 2-3 times I’ve been they, they’ve had the same...

Don't bother going to the Easton location if you dont look like you belong on the cast of Laguna Beach. I try not to pull the race card but in this case it was so blatantly obvious. I took some clothes in to sell. The people at the front counter spoke like they were annoyed I was even there. Weird because yall literally just opened. It took them about 5 mins to dump all my clothes out and then stuff them back in the bag. I guess it was too much work to put it back in there how it was?? Why ball my clothes up?? The guy at the counter is like yea we cant take anything today. I'm curious as to why because 1)he barely looked at anything 2)almost everything in the bag had tags on it . He rolls his eyes, smirked and said it smells like smoke. How??? I dont smoke. The whole interaction felt like I was talking to a teenager that was forced to go on family vacation. I saw a friend going into Gamestop as I was leaving and asked her to sell the clothes for me. We put them into a different bag and she took them in. They bought a majority of things in the bag. Soooo 15 mins later they no longer smell like smoke?!?!?!?! Im black, shes white and blond. I dont expect them to buy everything that comes through the door but I WAS a shopper here too and this interaction ruined that. Its not what you do, its how you do it. Its sad that people still act like this in 2022. If you want to sell clothes, go to Platos or drive farther and go to the Uptown Cheapskate in Dublin. I honestly believe that most of these reviews are fake....unless they really do pick and choose who they're going to...

For the first time I am actually making a review about this place which to me is really bizarre because I have always recommended this place to friends who were looking to get cash for their clothes. As a former employee I never publicly spoke about my time at Uptown because quite frankly it’s irrelevant. I am happy I make more money and I don’t ever disrespect Andrew’s store. But today was actually the worst. I usually come in once in a blue moon to sell some shoes and some clothes. Today I brought in four pairs of shoes and my ex- assistant manager Jennifer Le and a former co-worker Chloe were working. I watched Jennifer toss my shoes into the bag and proceed to be rude about me questioning the shoes I had brought in. I had Tim Boots that I had only worn a few times that look distressed (because I bought them with the distressed look) and had minor creasing. I know the buying process because I was once a buyer. I would never truthfully slander Uptown but the employees were rude when I worked there and rude now. So Andrew I know you watch the cameras so watch it back. You’ll see me in the mens second row watching Jennifer TOSS my shoes rudely into the bag. I wish you all the best and I hope...
