The Salvation Army

"This place is awesome! So many cool things! If you want to have a good time looking at the best selection of knickknacks around, make an outing of the Salvation Army! I'll start with the complaints (which are very few in comparison to the compliments). First, they have only a small number of casette tapes, and among those are mostly classical music, but I did find Christmas suites and 80s rock. Second, some of the items are in very poor condition, from frayed cords on appliances to action figures (or what used to be) that are only a torso and a single leg. Okay, that's all for complaints. Now...the fun part! There is such a large selection of items here (as I stated before), for practically anyone looking to take up some room or wall space. I was especially awestruck by the small alarm clocks, which were hidden all over the shop, because each one was stylized differently and just put together perfectly. Kids definitely like this place, but I would say their toys are geared primarily toward Pre-K through 2nd grade. There are a lot of shelf items that are very intriguing; I almost picked up every one! Lots of special dishes, cups, and plates with a variety of designs. The few that I can recall were cottages, mountain scenery, cultural icons, and traditional Japanese tea sets. Definitely a place to return to again and again!"

"“the lady” this location desperately needs to reconsider their currently employed staff. this is the second time i’ve witnessed unprofessional and rude behavior by the staff towards customers. the store is unorganized and no one donates to it anymore due to how rude the person accepting donations is. go to manassas, their location has way more accessible clothing and i haven’t witnessed their staff setting aside items for themselves or friends like this store does."

"When making a drop off donation of goods, the women there act like it is a huge inconvenience for them. I Don’t get it? Isn’t the whole idea of a thrift shop dependent upon donations? I wish there was another place to donate around here. We had quite a lot to donate because my father passed away and as we were bringing things in I could hear them complaining to each other. Maybe they should find another way to volunteer their time."

"This is the dirtiest and most disgusting Salvation Army that I have ever had the displeasure to step into in my life. There must be a good reason that the floors have never been vacuumed and the walls are filthy! I felt like I needed a shower after I walked around the store. I am sure there must be a good reason for the items to be displayed as poorly as they are..and the front of the store looks positively derelict. I saw other people walking around with equally disgusted looks on their faces. I have gone to yard sales with items more carefully strewn about in a front yard, than this places cares about how they present their items for sale. I have told anyone I can to skip their trip to this location and unless they can be bothered to act like they care a bit more then they might as well shut this store down. It is a shame that the people in charge are ok with the current state if this particular location being the image of a local Salvation Army. DISGRACEFUL."
