Park Avenue Thrift

"No wet floor sign. My daughter slipped and fell and when I told the employee about the issue and asked if they could please put up a wet floor sign, she said, I don’t even know if we have one while eating an apple. I then asked to have some put something there to warn other customers and she declined any action. Until I mentioned that they could get sued for negligence she decided to come out and look. She didn’t even apologize about my daughter being soaked in water. This is normally a great place to go for deals and items but they need to do better to keep their customers safe. My daughter could’ve been hurt worse or an elderly person could’ve been injured worse. 30 mins have passed since the incident and still nothing has been done to warn people of the water"

"the prices here can be amazing while other times they are way too high. the store isn't particularly clean, and the bathroom is always pretty gross. but if you go during the day when there aren't many people there and are just searching through clothing, you will find plenty to buy"

"The amount of trash at the door, all along the entire front walk and throughout the parking lot is always there and seriously appalling. The floor hosts widespread , large dust bunnies like tumbleweeds that coat the edges of long clothing. They ruin tons of beautiful clothing items by attaching the price tags with two heavy duty staples right onto the clothing fabric, often delicate fabric, and if that's not malicious enough, they use heavy duty staples too narrow in width to fit a staple remover so you have to ruin your fingernails to attempt to get them out and then have to file your fingernails down shorter to get all the dents and chips out, especially after trying to close all these obnoxious little heavy duty double staples back up and pad and package the mounds of them you end up with so they'll be hopefully less likely to terrorize the unfortunate pets and wildlife, bound to be searching the trash later for food morsels, with extended painful injuries or even death by infection or ingestion. If they can't staple some merchandise, they write on it with this red lipstick goo that often becomes permanent; it can't be rubbed off. And if all that's not bad enough, after spending 1-1/2 hours sifting for items in otherwise great condition and trying them on in filthy broken down dressing rooms with maybe half a mirror and half a door so that ceiling cameras can see into, you won't be allowed to buy anything that is missing a price tag and there's no manager, and they block the dressing rooms 30 mins before closing. And you can only get their discounts by keeping their horribly obnoxious phone app active which rings your phone early every single morning, and if your phone goes dead while you're shopping or you don't have one for whatever reason, you have to pay twice as much..."

"I have been shopping here for almost 8 years. As much as I use to love this place, I was a little disappointed when I last visit a week ago to see the pricing has gotten so high for things they literally receive for FREE! It is ridiculous that anything in this store is over $50. Unless it is furniture, nothing should be that high. Also, the bathroom literally made me almost vomit. I walked in and there was a huge dumpster that was filled to the top with tissue, most with POOP all over it!!! Flies flying around everywhere . No toilet paper! Just horrible! When I approached the young lady at the front, who spoke English very well and at the time was doing nothing, to ask if someone cleans it, she told me SHE DID NOT KNOW and that they do it sometimes but that she wasn’t going to right then. Ceilings falling down leaking water on you while you shop!! Buckets of wet clothes on the floor or sometimes just the wet clothes on the floor with no bucket! This place needs a renovation BAD! They make a lot of money at all of their locations to have such poor shopping conditions! Please do better!"

"Usually park avenue thrift is my favorite thrift store. I visit at least once a week, and find that they have good prices (use a coupon) and a decent selection. It can be dirty, but I expect that. But this summer they have decided to keep the A/C off to save costs. The employees all have fans pointed at them and there is one fan in the front of the store that is supposed to keep the rest of the giant store cool. Needless to say, it is boiling hot in there. There’s also a staff issue. When I was there 2 days ago, they had a line of at least 15 people waiting to check out and 4 people at the counter. Only ONE of those 4 was working. The rest were just watching as we all waited over 30 minutes to check out. In the heat. If they fixed those 2 issues, it would be the best thrift store in Atlanta. But right now, it’s just meh."
