Plato’s Closet Appleton

I generally don’t go to Plato’s Closet – I’ve had bad experiences with other locations in the past and their clothes are sometimes outrageously priced ($ 35 for an off-​brand jacket? Yeahhh, I’ll pass). However, I stopped in here the other day because I’ve been going through my dresser and closet to weed out clothes I don’t wear anymore and I’d come up with a decent amount of dressier pants and skirts. Nothing *super* fancy, but definitely business casual.
The first time I went into the store, I was informed that they were only buying clothes that day for store credit; this varies day by day. Ok, no problem. I called before going over the next time and was informed that for the time being they were buying for cash but that could change without notice. I rolled my eyes as I hung up the phone but then hurried over to quick try to sell my clothes for cash rather than store credit. Just as with the previous visit to this store, I waited at the counter for quite sometime while the workers chatted with each other and ignored me and another customer waiting. (Is this a Plato’s Closet thing? The employees at the Green Bay location do the same thing, ew) Finally one of the employees made her way over and I waited to have my clothes assessed. The final verdict? No, they didn’t want my clothes, not because they were in poor condition or not a good brand, but rather because they were too dressy and «mature» for their store. Never mind that some of the items I’d had since my very early twenties, part of their age demographic… apparently teens and young adults don’t need any slacks or dressier skirts for, oh, job interviews, work, or anything else semi-​professional.
This is, undoubtedly, my last visit to Plato’s Closet.

I love their selection of clothing! I can always find items I love. They have a nice large rack of buckle denim which saves me tons of money since I no longer have to shop the full prices at buckle yet I get the styles I love. I highly enjoy shopping here.
