The Salvation Army Thrift Store

After some spring cleaning, came to donate some old clothes and shoes. It’s a typical Salv Army store like all the others I’ve been to, meaning a department store of everyone’s old clothes and racks galore to search through. Not to mention electronics, housewares and some miscellaneous items.
If you’re doing this for tax returns, Visit the Salvation army website for a guideline on what each item is worth and it’s up to you to determine the quality of each. Make a list of each item, determine the worth and tell one of the workers you want a tax form. This person didn’t even look at my list or verify the quality of each item. She just signed whatever it was and gave it back to me.
Plenty of parking. I did walk past some rows of clothes that I might be able to wear but left empty handed.
I think customer service is what defines the success of an establishment and would say their workers just come in for a pay check, none of them with flare or that went out of their way to help me.

I don’t normally shop at this Salvation Army location, but I was in the area and it was a Wednesday which means amost everything is half off, so I figured I’d stop in. Upon entering the store I was greeted by 2 employees screaming and cursing at each other. From what I was able to gather, they were having a disagrement about the Real Housewives of Atlanta, which then turned into an attack on each other’s character. One girl was on community service and the other made sure that everyone in the store was aware of this fact because she screamed about it multiple times. Lots of cursing, threatening and general batshit craziness went on for roughly 5 minutes before a manager got involved. Manager kept yelling at them to «take it to the back.» Eventually they did, but it didn’t make a difference because «the back,» was in the same room, but was sectioned off by some shelves of mugs and rolling rack. The fighting continued for the entire duration of my shopping trip, which was about 35 minutes– 20 of which was spent in line waiting for one girl to get a key to void a transaction on the register. The clothing prices were pretty crazy. $ 13.99 for a vintage dress? $ 9.99 for a Walmart dress? (I know it’s from Walmart because my friend had the same dress and I was with her when she purchased it on clearance for $ 7.99.) $ 19.99 for a newish Lane Bryant sweater? That is insanity! The plates, vases, mugs, etc. were priced reasonably, but the kitchen electrics were also pretty overpriced. All in all, I can say this is probably the worst Salvation Army that I’ve visited in quite some time.
