Vinnies Mayfield

"I purchased a peach-coloured shirt for 8 dollars from this place. I am a mixed-race Australian citizen and I think that Australia is becoming a cold, hard place to inhabit. The racist white old ladies who man the store add to my argument. When I took the shirt to the counter to pay, they said nothing, not one word. Salutations are a form of politeness. Manners are the very fabric of society. Yet white Australians become more inarticulate and illiterate every day. There are bad apples in each batch, but most immigrants are hardworking persons who do not deserve outright racism and discrimination. If you are a person of colour, don't even enter. The selection is threadbare anyway. Rude old broads."

"This Vinnies is SO ridiculously overpriced. New managers come in and they think they can up the prices to create more profits. Australians are hurting hard financially and some of these op shops think that their 100% DONATED goods can be sold at almost retail price. If you really want to help people who are doing it tough lower your prices and make it affordable for EVERYONE. I’m sick of these places acting so greedy. Stop donating to these overpriced places and soon they will realise just how much they rely on the very community that they are ripping off."

"Staff extremely rude. Went there about a week ago to drop off a dozen bags of goods from my late mothers house. Before I even got inside the door they hit me with a list of items they do NOT take. Sorry but I don’t have the time or the energy to sort through the bags for anything that might appear on their “ list”. Will take my stuff elsewhere thanks If the stuff in the bags was good enough for my mother to use then it should be good enough for them. It’s not David Jones!"

"So overpriced! Considering these goods are ALL donated, they charge more like a retail shop than a charity store. Charity store were originally set up to help the vulnerable in society, not charge like wounded bulls."

"Very expensive for donated goods. Tshirt in Kmart for $4. Selling at Vinnie's for $8"
