Brookside Antiques — Local services in Town of Greene

Terrible Experience !!! I suggest you don’t come here if you are — a person of color that has never been there, or from out of state. My friend and I stopped here today as we are avid collectors and dealers ourselves and as I walked in the owner looked me up and down and stood in my way and asked rudely “Can I Help You?!” in which i responded politely “no thank you, just perusing” as i squeezed pass her.

then she proceeded to follow my friend and i throughout the store as we looked around. mind you, there was only two other people (a caucasian couple) in the store shopping peacefully without someone breathing down their back. As we were finishing our rounds and parting we politely thanked her and said bye. then she proceeded to follow my friend and I out the store and took a picture of our license plate as some sort of intimidation tactic ? I have never felt so profiled and targeted in my life !!!!!! -100000 rating. i regret even wasting my time here! maybe i’ll go with a camera next time so i can show ya’ll the first person POV of her (not so) amazing customer service...

The woman who owns this store was so rude to me and and to another customer. Her behavior was completely unwarranted. I believe this is a place where locals are treated well but if they see you drive in with out of state tags or if they don't know you, its a completely different experience. If you look at other reviews here and on Yelp it seems I am not the only one who has experienced her poor attitude. If you want to browse cute shops with antiques do yourself a favor and head into Greene to Hymn and Hawe or to the Switchblade Shop. Much nicer...

Passed by here on a trip through the finger lakes! Owner was a wonderful woman and greeted me right away with a huge smile! I could walk through her store for hours! I even walked away with a few treasures! She is native to the area and proud of her community! Although I reside in NJ I will surely be back on my next...
