The Monkey Junkie — Local services in Irving

My daughter and I came in on Thursday 12/21/2023 We spent quite some time looking at all the vendors. the owners would follow us around. It was uncomfortable. When we were looking to purchase items, they would come behind us and say they would take it up front, so they would take the things from us and take it up front. When we got done, we went to pay for our items. But noticed that everything was packaged. Wrapped up and stickers were taken off and we did not know what we were paying for I was scared. The bill was $190 When I asked to see where the tags were, he began to have an attitude. He turned the notebook around where he placed the prices I started looking trying to find the process for everything that I had purchased. He then began to quickly turn The notebook back around toward him and said. Here's the price that you owe. I'm like why I'm not used to this. I need to see what I'm paying for He started shoving our things down into the bags shoving them aggressively at that point I didn't want anything. But my daughter and I had been in there for so long. I didn't know what to do I couldn't believe the attitude the aggressiveness, the hateful behavior towards us as new Customers the woman explained that they've been experiencing lack of sales and you wonder why I was still uncomfortable with paying and asking one more time. What was in the other bags? He said really and dumped it on the counter. I wanted to leave immediately. I kept thinking of my daughter who has social anxiety and is difficult to go places. And she is confronted with this type of situation. I didn't want to make it worse. So I paid against my better judgment. Also, items were kept from us. God forgive these horrible people I feel sorry for the vendors that have their things in there. They are running off the customers BEWARE TO COME IN THIS PLACE The title itself ought to scare you monkeys junkie...

Although this shop had some interesting things, their prices were really high, even with discounts. The owners were nice, however, they do what most antique stores/malls do, if you have started a pile, they start to wrap it while you are still shopping. I had purchased several ceramic and porcelain figures that they had only wrapped in 1 layer of very thin tissue paper and then in a plastic bag. Although the items were transported home in my back seat...one of the cherished items I really wanted arrived home broken due to poor packaging. Needless to say I recommend you ask them to wrap in front of you, and personally I will not be returning...

The booths have great items most are over priced and most are not vintage. Beware if you are a minority they will follow you around. Read the reviews others have had the same uncomfortable feeling from the people running this place. We have a 3 year old daughter who took a price tag of of a small stuffed animal (not vintage) they forced me to buy it. I guess they don’t like us around here we will sadly not be returning if you have a booth here I wish we could contact you directly to buy because the treatment from this man and lady was very unfair racist and unnecessary my God bless them and give us the patience to turn the...
