Vintage Eastern Market, LLC — Local services in Detroit

I am appalled about what I experienced today. In fact I broke down in tears after leaving and am tearing up as I speak. I found a couple cute figurines I picked out as a gift for my friend. An employee approached me, pryed my fingers open to the point she dug her nails, took my items then checked my hand again to make sure I had nothing else. She made a scene as if I was planning to steal and that my items would be waiting downstairs for me. Meanwhile I found these items downstairs and had walked around the store with them already for an hour by this point. When she did this I was looking at postcards with my baby sister smiling and enjoying her company. I was having a special day out with my mother and her since we didn't see each other this Christmas. I was humiliated as a 29 year old woman being made out to seem a thief in front of the entire floor. And my feelings were truly hurt...

We always visit this place when we are downtown because it's like a labyrinth of antique rooms, however, the vendors are horribly kept. In many spots, it can be a liability. You'll trip or get trapped stepping over items that the vendors had thrown into their spots. Some rooms are either freezing cold in the winter or blazing hot in the summer. There's bad lighting & the ceiling leaks. Most items are poorly marked ( or not marked at all ) and if you are lucky enough to get a price from one of the vendors, it's entirely too high- probably to help pay for their over priced rent. This place is also not friendly to handicapped people. Most items are upstairs and there's no elevator, nor space for those who to get thru...
