Ragtime Vintage Clothing

Im often in the Ottawa area and found this place on a walk. Nearly all of the staff I've interacted with there have been rude and have a habit of closely following people of colour around the store (from what ive experienced). In watching them engage with their patrons and public there is clearly some mental health issues that should be addressed. The older woman shouldn't be interacting with the public. Definitely not returning.

I read the reviews ahead of time but gave this place a chance anyway. My experience was consistent with many of the reviews. I also read the responses to the reviews which seems like the feedback isnt being well received and seems unprofessional. Really interesting vintage clothing can be found here, and a different experience compared to other thrift stores I visited thus far. The staff seemed down to earth & trying to help at times but dont confuse helpfulness with staring/following/intruding your space. I felt like my boundaries are consistently crossed while shopping here even after making them clear. I have a hard time making choices on what Id like to buy when I feel this way.

I have shopped at Ragtime since I was a teenager and it was a little shop upstairs on Elgin street. Ragtime is a world in itself. Treasure hunting there has always been a pleasure. The atmosphere is calm and relaxed. The staff have always been helpful and polite. Now, I bring my daughter to shop at the store. I may have created a monster lol.
