This happened on 1/24 at about 2pm. I found a reel projector that looked just like this without the reel or a Power cord at the greenMount goodwill without a sticker. Took it to the register and asked how much it was. Talked to two great cashiers about what it was and how it should work. I asked how much it was on sale for and the ‘manager’ on duty essentially came up and ripped it out of my hands. No apology. No ‘this needs to be priced’ just took it to the back and said I can’t buy it because it’s not for sale. Even though it was on the shelf with everything else and a lot of stuff didn’t have sticker on it. The other 2 workers couldn’t do anything about it. The other 2 workers were great, but whoever that manager is was rude and shouldn’t be in charge of a fish tank. 10 bucks they pocketed it and it’ll be on eBay within a week.

Soo. I can’t say I hate it cuz I don’t. I think they have a terrible intake a processing system. As someone who used to manage a thrift store I don’t understand how the shelves are always half empty with things no will will buy. Like a $2.5” composition notebook that is only $.50 at Walmart. Why is the lid of the mug a different price when the mug comes with a lid. Why not create a set of cups for $10 v each for $2.5. It’s less likely to be purchased this way. Also no one wants the vases you get for free at Safeway. Stop wasting processing times on those items. Or the $15 SHEIN in dress that $5 on SHEIN right now. I understand they want to increase revenue but they need to do it by processing quality seasonal items. You have to go daily to get good deals but it’s not impossible.

Please be careful if you are buying Clothing/Furniture/Textiles/Bedding from any thrift store, including this one. I recently bought a full set of what appeared to be new cotton sheets from here for $20 which is a great price. I washed them twice with hot water and detergent. However, right after using them, I developed a severe rash all over my body. However, for the rest of the review, I have nothing but positive things to say about this store and the people who work there. They were extremely kind and helpful. This is a great place to find used books in this neighborhood, or anywhere for that matter. I found a copy of Jeni's Splendid Ice Creams, which is one of my favorite cookbooks, for $1.25. They had a good amount of Penguin Classic paperbacks (mostly from Victorian authors) for $1, which is amazing as well.
