Sept. 6, 2017. I made a purchase at Blissfield Antique Mall. I purchased a Calphalon wooden spoon, booth #32. My church needs wooden spoons, I heard this the weekend prior. When I washed it before taking it to the church the wood separated/splintered and is not safe for use. I went back to return it or a credit at that booth #32. There is a sign no returns but a defective product? Matt the owner pointed to the sign, I said the item is defective - it's not like I changed my mind. Instead of offering to contact the vendor, he said "if I do it for you I have to do it for everyone" (wouldn't you, on a dangerous product/utensil, pieces of wood could break off into food and possibly choke someone)?! His comment too was - people buy to hang them (point)? I purchased it to be used! Then, he said how do I know you didn't switch spoons with one you had this doesn't have the tag on it (yes, after stating it was for my church, he is accusing me of possibly doing something dishonest)! Really, now going after my character a $5.00 purchase. Chris, (employee) removed tags on 2 of my items and asked it I wanted the tag removed (spoon), I said go ahead - I didn't even remove the tag (as a vendor elsewhere I get my tags). Three items did not have a tag and Chris called the vendor for price. I'm a vendor and I would welcome knowing this happened (he didn't bother to contact the vendor, especially if they have other spoons to sell, to check them - potential choking hazard). I purchased from booths #4, 32 and 555 that day - I will not enter there again. I think the vendors should be aware of how the owner treats your customers. I have spent over $100.00 there - NO MORE!!! Nice stuff, not so nice owner! I asked the owner to take out a $5.00 bill from his wallet, crinkle it up and throw it away - guess what? He didn't!!!!! I said, I just did!!!!!!!! Give my $5.00 to Harvey or Irma, I would feel better that it wasn't just thrown away! So, if you want to be demoralized meet Matt at the Blissfield Antique Mall! I have great difficulty dealing with "STUPID"!!! There are other antique shops to patronize in Blissfield!!! read more
