2nd Ave Thrift Superstore - Baltimore, MD

"ive never felt compelled to write a negative interview for anything until witnessing downfall of this store. the prices of nearly everything have doubled within the past 2 years then they’ve removed the entire fitting room area so you’re not able to try on any clothes with about 5 signs you can read going to the bathroom making sure you know you’re not allowed to bring anything in there to try on. if you buy something and it doesn’t fit well no refunds so you’re just stuck with it. some of the items that they keep behind the display have rose even higher in price even though they may not work or are completely destroyed but the owners could care less. i’ve even witnessed recently a bunch of broken up cracked tablets and phones all in one container being sold for 500 dollars,with you not being allowed to try or inspect any of them before buying. but what made me decide to write this was seeing them selling obviously fake pokemon cards for up to 50-90 dollars, with the few real ones being nearly triple what resellers are even selling them for in the hopes some poor kid begs their parents to buy these damaged up fake pieces of cardboard just because it’s pokemon."

"It’s okay. You can find deals but only on 50% off sales otherwise they want $7 for a used top usually with stains or other flaws. The staff is great, I don’t know why there’s bad reviews about them. The customers are pretty annoying and rude so I’m not sure how the staff deals with that all day but they’ve always been funny and nice to me."

"My mom makes me go here on a regular occasion. I would probably like it even more if I go on my own accord. Nice selection of items and even some rarer ones that could go for a bit of money."

"Returned for yet another visit today. It's always hit or miss with what you find, but that's part of the excitement. 3stars is because over the last few visits the staff have been horrible. Highly rude and unprofessional. Walked in this morning around 10am, the big screen seemed stuck on the 2nd Ave logo. Asked an employee what the sale today was and she rolled her eyes and told me to check the screen. So I waited almost 5min for it to cycle thru and was pleased to see it show all clothing shoes & accessories 50% off. I headed off to shop and was happy to find several things I liked. As I was checking out I noticed the discount wasn't applying. I asked the same lady I had originally talked to why the discount wasn't applying. She rolled her eyes, looked at my stuff and said that nothing I had was on sale, only silver tags. Confused I asked why the screen said something different, to which she replied it didn't and that I should read it more carefully. I immediately asked for a manager (who was super sweet) and explained the situation. She stood with me while the screen cycled thru and observed the 50% sale. The original employee stated oh that was from labor day (2wks ago!).The manager manually entered my discount to honor what was posted and instructed the employee to turn off the TV. The whole time the employee had an attitude and was making snarky inappropriate comments about me being cheap. My whole issue is her attitude and the laziness of most of the employees. At the time I was checking out the store had been open 2hrs... all the employees up front were just standing around and talking,how did none of them see the mistake and bring it to management attention?! And the treat the customers disrespectfully when they questioned it? As I was leaving I spoke with other customers who had experienced the same scenario. If it wasn't for the professionalism of the manager who assisted me I wouldn't be returning."

"Sadly was disappointed at this thrift store. I came here because l heard what a great place it was for great deals. Everything seemed overpriced and/or junk. Very busy. Employees literally shove customers out of the way as they're trying to stock shelves. Wasn't impressed. Won't be returning."
