Saint Peter Thrift Store

"The lady who is the manager to this thrift store not only is rude but also does not seem like shes interested in helping those in need . I would not in any way ever donate here again . I hope she doesn’t treat her employees like this either . We had the worst experience ever ! And will never refer anyone to them again . According to all the other reviews down below , they obviously need to a HUGE turn around in management cause this is unacceptable. I pray that if this manager is going through something -she finds a solution ,because people don’t deserve to be treated the way she’s treating others when they’re going through a hard time."

"tried to donate some things in the evening and a lady comes to the fence and yells at us not to leave anything,they don't want it,she was rude and mean, told us to get what we put down she doesn't want to take it to the dump. first time there for me donating anything. not a nice place , I will never go back and I will tell everyone not to shop there."

"Normally, a big fan. Today bought a taped item that listed price they were asking, & price item sold for. They failed to indicate that the item was not intact! I now have $8 of nothing!"

"Honestly, the shop appeared to be alright when we first entered (it was a normal store with nothing out of the ordinary and so I expected a normal experience). The store is really small, so it didn’t take too long to work our way through it and, eventually, some boots caught our eyes. To be sure that the number written on the soles of the shoes was the correct price, we decided to ask— and mind you, we said nothing more than a few words in English i.e. “is this the price of the boots?” The old lady running the counter looked at us for a solid few minutes (probably trying to retrieve the right word) and responded with “siete” then she turned away, at this point, I just wanted to roll my eyes and I began the same conversation that I always have with my mother whenever something like this happens— the sheer ignorance of many white people when it comes to people of color. But, alas, we mostly let it slide. That is until we got to the counter to pay and the lady tried again to speak in Spanish to us after we were speaking English fluently! At this point, we couldn’t hold our tongues any longer, and nor should we because of the blatant disrespect shown in the fact that she just disregarded the language that we were speaking to her in, it was just so ignorant and fought between the second embarrassment and being appalled. This lady just kept going! When we pointed this out to her, she goes, and I quote, “I’m practicing— and you’re practicing, and you too!” She said this all with the most self-righteous smile I have ever seen, again, it was horrifying. Just to be clear, neither my mother nor I was practicing our English because we don’t need to, we’re fluent. Anyways, I just needed to put that out there because what that lady did was one of the most ignorant things anyone could ever do. I speak Spanish as fluently as I speak German and Turkish, which is to say not very well. (Also, the prices aren't even that great for a thrift shop especially and there really isn't much in the store, I doubt younger people would enjoy it)"

"Went to St. Vincent de Paul in Fallbrook today. Just want to let whoever is in charge that there is a man working the front desk was wearing a red/berry color shirt today .. who to me is very rude. He also looks at the clothes and shoes.. and then gives his own price! I have visited this non-profit store before.. and have spent a lot of money that I know goes to a good cause. .but this man is so rude.. and when I brought something up that another person there told me was $2.. he proceeded to argue with me stating no he was wrong it was $4!. for $2 he lost a good customer to this organization. Please have someone else volunteer in front."
