Second Helping - Thrift Store

"If you are looking for affordable second hand items, you may want to try a different store. There are many second hand stores that offer great deals on gently used items. Considering that everything was donated and most of the staff are volunteers there is no reason why items should be priced at department store prices. I know the economy with this administration is in the toilet. But this organization has very little overhead considering that they have a Federal tax exemption status. I'm sure some will not agree with my review but at the end of the day the board members are the ones making a six figures salaries on the backs of siblings who are clearing out their childhood homes of all furniture and treasured possessions that their parents or grandparents spent a lifetime acquireing and collecting.... If you really want to help the needy look into the Salvation Army. Salvation Army runs thrift stores to raise money to fund their homeless shelters and disaster relief efforts.... Remember, Goodwill’s charity is … running Goodwill stores. That’s it. They don’t donate money to anyone. They in fact pay their store employees below minimum wage, under the theory that they are providing “job training”. Convicts and felons are also court oreded to report to do community service which is basically free labor....."

"Dropped by yesterday and the staff was so sweet and helpful. They had some very cute things and decent prices. Inventory is always changing so I will continue to stop in. I was looking for a specific piece of furniture and haven't found it yet."

"Camille is a terrible manager. Extremely rude and disrespectful to all customers and volunteers/employees. Product prices are overly inflated and Camille is very short and disrespectful when this is questioned."

"This store is just adorable. I went to this store after going to an estate sale and about kicked myself because they had so many cute silver plated tea sets for around $35 I had just bought one at the estate sale for $45! The stuff there is priced very reasonably and the place is decorated so thoughtfully. The lady working the counter had nothing but wonderful things to say about the store and was very friendly. I took so many pictures of this place for my husband and can't wait to take him there!"

"The place was beautiful, but the staff was rude. I was interested in a piece of furniture but the staff seemed annoyed with me when I was looking at it. I also asked if the pricing was firm and the staff treated me like I was stupid for even asking. The item was higher than most similar new items listed online. I tried to look at the rest of the shop but just left after been talked to so rudely. I haven't been so unwelcome in a thrift store before. Don't think I'll be going back soon."
