Timeless Flea Market — Local services in Springfield

My family and I were here shopping. We were about to check out when the male owner came over and asked if my service dog was a guide dog. My service dog was sitting quietly next to me out of the way, she was leashed and in a vest that says service dog on both sides in large text. I told him that she is a medical alert service dog. He asked to see her credentials and I told him that she does not have any and according to the Americans with Disabilities Act she doesn't need any. He told me that she was going to have to be put in the cart are we had to leave. My service dog is a labrador retriever and our cart was full so she couldn't even fit in it. Since I didn't do what he said we were told to leave. The man had no right to kick us out and it's also against the law we have filled a report to the ADA. I've seen other service dog handlers in the area so I just want to warn them of how I was treated for having a service dog in the store. We have been in that store before and have seen their bulldogs they bring. I should not be discriminated against for having a well behaved...

They do have a lot to look through, however, I didn't find much of anything. They were also extremely unwelcoming. I'm at a thrift store on a Sunday afternoon in the bible belt. Neither woman working greeted me, so I made a point to greet the older woman. No Midwestern hospitality was extended from these folks. We were even happy to see they allowed dogs, then saw the sign about dogs needing to be in crates or carts. My boyfriend stayed in the car, since our dogs do don't crates or carts, and the dogs we're being unruly anyhow. Our husky ended up wiggling away from my boyfriend, who had to chase after her behind the building. He was also met with no hospitality and was told to quote, "Get outta here", by a man in the back. Like my boyfriend was back there skulking around like a weirdo. Nope, just chasing his dog. We frequent a lot of thrift stores in town, this was our first time visiting this one, and it will most definitely...

Today was my 1st visit here. I didn't have much time and only had 4 bucks on me. A lot of booths with cheap priced items. I left with a Christmas Tree light to put in my apartment window and a vintage Pac-Man mini arcade game for under 2 bucks. I didn't get to look at their used furniture, but will definitely go back when I have more time and cash. You can't take your purse in, so bring a change purse with you so you can buy things. I'd never heard of anyplace that won't allow you to bring your purse in and thought that was kinda a negative vibe before visiting my first time. I mean I get that there's theft, but there is in all businesses. Plus a lot of the stuff is old garage sale items and not worth a whole lot. Wal-Mart is retail and they have theft but at least they let you carry...
