INCREDIBLY RACIST EMPLOYEES!! I Was just in this store, sizing up some items to purchase not far from the register, when my friend and I became aware of the very loud, racist conversation taking place behind the register. A middle-aged white woman was angrily telling her white coworker (who seemed to be in agreement) about a relative's interracial child and using disgusting, vile terms (which I won't repeat here) and spouting off a sickening checklist of racial stereotypes. All the while other sellers at the store were well within earshot and none of them seemed to mind either. Will never, ever go back into that place. One star for the review is much too generous.
In regards to your response: I would imagine the mission statement of any business worth a damn would include treating human beings, regardless of their race or background, with respect. I would imagine the business would respect themselves enough to care what their potential clients think about them and their staff and at the very least conduct themselves like decent human beings in front of customers regardless of what their personal feelings are, even if those feelings are mired in the...
Read moreDo not shop here! RACIST employees and obviously horrible at managing reviews. Only shop here or sell here if you're ok with giving racist businesses your money! I was also present at the time of the below mentioned review, and I have also reviewed on Facebook. I guess the owners think it's "off topic" to share that their employees and vendors are making offensive comments about people of other races. I was in Main Street Antiques to purchase some gifts with my friend and was appalled by the conversation between employees which we overheard. As we were about to check out, I overheard a woman working the counter discussing her dislike for someone's child who was half black! We put our purchases back and I plan to tell everyone I know never to shop here ever again. Also, if you are a seller here, you should take your business elsewhere.
I also will be reaching out to professional organizations in the Newark, DE area. This is hate speech and the fact that you are trying to discredit people who are bringing a SERIOUS issue to your attention shows that you not only accept this behavior but also do not care for the safety and rights of...
Read moreThis is my opinion. I love this place for the amount of items and variety. Expensive definitely depending on the cubby. I have been there three times. Each time, I get the same vibe that they assume I am a thief. I have worked in retail and was brought up right NOT to steal. This is not for shoppers who look younger. Also, if you don't watch the price they will charge you at the register for more. For example, I bought a pair of earrings which tag said 20. They brought it up to the register and charged me 30. Didn't say anything because they took the tags off so can't argue. Also I should not have to say hey you over charged me. I won't be going back. As a tip definitely take a picture of your tag before they bring it up to...
