Cheap Frills Quality Resale

"Older lady at the front counter never said a word to us, but stared us down the entire time. Left after 2 minutes because the staring was so uncomfortable, and she stood outside of the store and watched us walk to the car. Super, super weird and rude."

"Still can't believe I found this gem! The biggest antique mall I've ever been to. A completely stunning array of wares from many different sellers at many different pricepoints. I found some amazing deals. The staff were super chill. I see a lot of reviews of people getting upset that the staff don't dote on them hand and foot and make forced small talk but as an autistic person who has also worked customer service for years, no greeting isn't something I took personally and I still felt very welcomed. They were happy to check my bags and answer my questions when engaged. We were even humming and singing some classic beloved tunes together when they came on, it was pretty cool. Now Cheap Frills in the back is where you wanna go if you have extremely good taste in eccentric & vintage fashion. Their costume and coat section in particular was very impressive. There's some pretty extensive specialized gear in some of the stalls definitely worth checking out. I have to make a return trip, I didn't have the time to comb through the entire place. They gave about a 5-10 minute warning then the lights started going off. It was kinda spooky and cool feeling walking around a half lit antique mall finding your way through the maze to the entrance. They pretty much have to do this you really lose track of time in there it's like a capsule where time stands still and you could peruse for hours and it would feel like minutes. It has that special quality and feel to it. Also happened to talk to some lovely people in the checkout line who were huge fans of the film I got (this place has pretty big VHS section, and as a collector I enjoyed that) Overall, I would definitely return and recommend this place."

"Over priced, callused and poor quality. Same experience as the majority have listed here, the employees are just unpleasant and go out of their way to make you feel awkward while shopping. Even when I wasn't catching a dirty look from one of their staff I would see them talking amongst each other and glaring at other customers. Is this theme store like one of the "rude waitress" restaurants I've seen marketed where they use this as a marketing angle? Why stay in business if you can't consistently provide customer service."

"The lady in the back was staring at us with a terribly judgmental look on her face the entire time we were in there. Do not know why. She was foul. When we did speak to her she hissed out very short answers like we were inconveniencing her and shouldn't be there. They did have a lot of actual vintage dresses... a bit over priced. Over all wouldn't go back strictly because of the curmudgeon in the back. People in the front wre nice and helpful."

"Traveling from San Diego to Washington and found the coolest place. Cheap Frills in Newport Or!! What a delightful place to shop. Staff was so very friendly and helpful. Excellent selection we found so many unique items. Don’t miss them."
