Father Time Antiques — Local services in Duluth

Such rude staff; the older lady with a bob cut didn’t acknowledge me as I waited at the counter for someone to come help me get something from a case, then an older lady with shorter hair did acknowledge me and went with me to the case, but when I asked how firm they were on the price (and she quoted me the options based on if I paid cash or paid with a card and I was willing to proceed), she for some reason had to go check the pricing out at the counter and as opposed to bringing the items up balked at the fact that she had to now lock them back up and go…confirm the prices she just quoted?—why she couldn’t bring the items up I don’t know, but after I let her know I wasn’t sure why it was such a problem to bring them, she tried to change her tune and act happy to help, but her and her coworker's attitudes cost them a sale. Don’t know if my mother’s (who was also with me) and/or our skin color informed the poor attitudes, but I’m mot going back (which is a shame because I’d only had positive...

I would say this is the best antique shop there is compared to all the ones I've visited in the Northland. They have the most variety and the shop is nice and big. Their neighbor Antique Boutique basically doesn't have much compared to them, and has mostly like vases and plate ware type stuff. Father Time is sometimes it's a bit cluttered but still a good shop. I enjoy visiting just to look at everything. Especially during...

The older woman at the counter who rang up my sale on Saturday 8/24 was so rude. I told her I thought I had my tax id number on file and the disgusted look she gave me was enough to make my skin crawl. After rolling her eyes and loudly sighing, I told her to just forget it, it's not worth it. She said they don't keep them on file, and it has to be done separately (whatever that means). I almost walked out without buying anything. This woman is beyond rude. Other than that..... This place has an amazing selection, so huge you could spend a whole day in here. Some items might be on the pricier side, but antiques are becoming harder and harder to find. It's definitely worth the time, this place is great (hopefully the old crab ass wont have to ring you up, she definitely...
