Community Thrift

"I had a disappointing experience at the thrift store recently. Despite being directed by the guard to place my umbrella on the rack near the entrance, it was stolen. The lack of security measures and accountability in handling personal belongings is concerning, making it difficult to trust this establishment. Furthermore, despite providing my contact information, the thrift store failed to reach out or address the incident. This lack of follow-up reflects poorly on their customer service, leaving me feeling neglected and dissatisfied with the overall experience."

"I’ll echo the sentiment of a few others on the reviews section - the security guard was rude to me at the door, it made me question if i’d done something to deserve such treatment (I hadn’t, i walked in through the doors a little BEFORE closing and the security guard seemed mad at me for even being there. I was so confused.) Later I read the comments and realized it might have something to do with the racial profiling mentioned by other customers). All in all, would love to see this be a more enjoyable experience to go to this location, rather than a rather miserable one, please help."

"I used to frequent this store. It's a decent place. But I've reached my limit with a select few of the staff. I spent 2 hours there the last time I went (needed to kill some time). When I was done looking, I tried on some clothes in the mirror near the front. I couldn't help but notice the security guard kept going between me and another black customer in the store. His heels were on fire from how much he was pacing back and forth between us. The other customer was looking at comic books. It was annoying and sad, and it made me miss the previous guard who didn't profile people that obviously. I picked the items I wanted to buy and put them in my basket. Headed back to the clothing area to put everything else away. Mind you, I'd been there 2 hours and looked through almost all the clothes already. BUT one of the staff members brought out a new rack of clothes. Excited, I looked at five pieces of clothing, and she informed me that the clothes weren't ready yet and I couldn't look (has NEVER happened before). That I needed to wait for her to put them all on the main floor. This made no sense. I KNOW having customers look at the racks while you're working must be annoying. But would she rather I follow her to every new section she goes to to view the three new items she's put out? Or should I wait until everything is put away, and then search through ALL of the clothes AGAIN? I put all the items in my basket away and went to Goodwill. I had a great time there. Found better items at lower prices. Nothing was locked up. Plus I was able to look through the new racks they rolled out, and didn't have to endure the social sting of being followed around by a security guard. Prob won't be back for a bit. What's the point."

"I love to donate to this place as they do good work, but some of the workers at the side are kind of rude. Today they took a man's donation who came in after me. He drove up outside in a BMW and placed a stack of clothes on the loading dock. I'd been there, took some things out to take a photo and they decided to help him first though I was just as ready to go as he was. I'm an older woman, and wheel my things over on a dolly. I don't drive a car in an effort to lower my carbon footprint and I wonder if the reason they decided to serve someone who arrived after I did before me is twofold, it was a man, though slightly older, and he was driving a BMW. I was a treated poorly a few minutes later by a visa photographer who'd just served a pretty young woman with the upmost of charm, then barked orders at me, a 64 year old woman. I will never set foot inside the visa photo place as there are plenty to choose from. But I will go to community thrift as I need to pass on of a fair amount of nice quality things, so will need to return to the dock. Hope they read their reviews and try to be a little more gracious and judicious in how they serve those who are kindly giving them nice items that actually pay their salaries. There are other choices for these items, too, just not as many, and some are dubious, while Community thrift is a great charity."

"Reasonably priced thrift goods. We were disappointed to not find a decent tennis racquet, and to find that the mediocre singular racquet they had was ~8 bucks, but can’t complain. Check out their records section! And I think they have every single cord known to mankind, with great customer service as well. Five stars."
