Olde Central Antique Mall Inc — Local services in Port Orchard

They do have a fair bit of interesting inventory here, but the employee I encountered (I assume the owner, but no idea) when I visited was pretty rude.

My wife and I were new to tPort Orchard and had friends visiting from out of town so we took them down to the waterfront for lunch, and decided to peruse the local shops afterward. At this antique mall, we found several items we liked and did purchase them, but when I asked the employee whether the silver butter dish I had asked her to retrieve from a locked display case was solid silver or plated, she said "It's plated. If it were solid silver, you couldn't afford it."

Aside from the facts that this butter dish and lid weigh no more than a couple ounces and the price of silver has been hovering around $16-17/ounce for some time (making my purchase an easily affordable $35-50 tops even at the high end), this would have been a horribly rude way to treat a customer even if she had good reason to believe that statement were true.

One of our guests had also found a record she wanted, then found the same record in better condition in another part of the store, so she went to return the first record to where she found it and with a less-than-friendly tone and approach, the same employee tried to chastise her for putting an item back in the wrong place. When our guest explained what she was doing, the employee offered no apology.

We all went ahead with our purchases that day, but although my wife and regularly visit the waterfront and take visitors there from time to time, we always steer clear of this antique mall because of that experience.

Three stars because the prices we paid were fair, the store was clean and well-lit, and the inventory seemed interesting, though mostly not very rare or wow-inducing. There are lots of antique stores in Port Orchard, and in my opinion, the one on Mile Hill Drive is much more worthy of...

Yelp should let you give zero stars. This place doesn't deserve even one.

Okay. Still shaking as I just returned home from that place. But at least I can see I'm not the only one. Maybe I should've checked before going here.

Do you always mock those with a disability?!? I was just in there with my friend and I had four small dessert plates. And I even showed them to my friend who saw the same price. When we got to the register where it was brighter and easier to see, I noticed there was smaller blue writing on the top and bottom of the big red "6".

The gentleman (I assume he's the owner and if so his name is Bobbie Stewart) because I can't imagine any employee lasting with an attitude like that. He removed one price tag and started to do the others but I caught that there was additional writing. He basically chastised me for not knowing that the big red six indicated the merchant number. Telling me that all tags have the price on the top with the sale price on the bottom and the merchant number is in the middle. I explain to him that I had vision problems. He went on mumbling angrily at me. I was apologetic, telling him that I was sorry, I have a disability causing me chronic pain that worsens my eyesight at times. He remarked… Well it's easy! ... rolling his eyes at me.

And my friend and I travel all over the Kitsap peninsula to antique shops looking for items for her business. And we document our travels on social media. Yesterday I received my loan for my own business and it will never be spent...

We were there this Sunday night. They close at 5pm. We found an item we wanted to buy and left it at the counter for check out. At 4:55 they announced they would be closing. We happened to be at one of the booths right near the register. When the 4:55 was announced we walked over to pay for our item. The women at the cash registered said in a very rude way, "you'll need to wait. Were closed. I'm already doing the deposit. We didn't even know you were here". Even though we were not the only customers in the store AND we were next to the register are looking at items. She then finished counting money, then puts it in the office, THEN starts counting change in the cash register. Mean while we're standing there waiting, while two other workers were just milling around. After waiting, watching in shock and then waiting some more. I had to say something about the horrible customer service and how rudely the women had spoken to us. Needless to say we walked out without purchasing the item, because of how we...
