Country Folk — Local services in Galloway Township

Just wanted everyone to be aware that this store sells a variety of minstrel show memorabilia + Jim Crow-era dolls (which were specifically designed to mock Black people in the U.S.). These dolls perpetuate harmful stereotypes, portraying African Americans as predators, subservient, childish, savage, and hypersexual—depictions which directly led to the dehumanization, degradation, and even the deaths of tens of thousands of Black people in the US. Selling these objects WITHOUT historical context, allowing them to be viewed as harmless trinkets instead of the deeply racist symbols they are is unacceptable. normalization of this kind of abuse starts in small towns and local shops like this one, where such grotesque imagery is either accepted or ignored.

Absolutely horrible experience! Took a relative here who was visiting from Washington State, she was looking for oyster plates. She asked the man behind the counter to see one, he shook his head no!

But you can stand on the porch as long as you like." I had my 83yr old mother with us and it was pouring hard and the lightning was hitting as we stood under the small porch! It wasn't until AFTER I ran out to get the car and got soaked as we tried to get my family in the car that he came out and offered plastic bags!! What was I going to do with those?!?! Seriously?!? DON'T shop here unless you're willing to be treated like garbage!!...

The Man behind the counter was so nasty and miserable, I asked if the prices are negotiable as they often are at antique shops and he read me the right act about how he doesn't haggle etc.....understood he made his point I than told him I wanted to purchase a few items and that I would like to pay for them and come back to pick them up a little later due to their size and weight he told me (rudely) that the best he can do was give me paper bags. I decided right there I can't give this man any business and walked out the store, when I stepped out side there were 2 couples waiting for me and they told me they walked out once they witnessed the exchange I had with the man and they couldn't believe what they were hearing and how nasty he was...
