Uncle Junkee — Local services in Reno

Went to ask if they buy luxury designer bags (LV, Gucci etc.) and was told no as they cater to a different type of clientele and was directed to a different second hand store. As I was walking out, I decided to check out the thrift store that is on the other side of the clothing section, and an older Caucasian lady followed my son and I all over the store. At first I thought she was just wandering around but nope, every corner I turn to, that lady was standing behind or really close to us. She thought we’re there to steal—and she’s not even trying to hide it. There are many other people in there, but she didn’t follow them. I feel like she did it cause of our skin tone. What an ignorant racist! If you’re a person of color, avoid their thrift shop. That lady thinks we’re all just out there trying to steal her musty...

Really cool store with a lot of really cool and interesting things for everyone. The only issue that I had is my girlfriend, best friend and I were followed around the store by staff and kept getting asked if we needed help looking for anything (it’s a co-op type/antique store with a little bit of everything so your not really going in there expecting to look for stuff) but they were being pretty aggressive about it like we were stealing. Making us all feel super uncomfortable. Didn’t know browsing was not allowed haha. Don’t know if we will ever go back.

Also we had to park a mile away and walk to the store. There’s no free parking that’s close...

I know that this is the ancillary location, and it is focused in the antiques/crafts/garage sale, but the clothing selection is pretty bad. The few items are neat, but they have such a limited selection - and tall, big or big and tall, practically nothing. The halloween wall of accessories is about it, if you wear anything over a 12 as a girl. A few western shirts is all you get for a guy, regardless of size. Imo, either beef up the selection, or get rid of it. If you are gonna do it, do it right... Or...
