The Salvation Army Thrift Store Spencer, MA

This place is a festering boil. It looks like an unkept drug den, everything has a layer of grime on it, the floor tiles are peeled off and the merchandise is way overpriced. $20 for a pair of heavily used jeans? No thanks. Also trying to donate to this location is akin to a hostage negotiation where any item they dont deem fit for their health hazard of a store is thrown at you along with a heaping helping of incoherent speech and aggressive gestures. They also now have security guards blocking the donation bins who treat everyone like they are dumping trash. I understand that some people use these locations as a dumpster, but not everyone and you would think a business that depends on donations would be kinder to the people they are begging for money from. I cant recommend going here as this became more about profit and less about "For the good of the community and victims of homelessness."

The store and parking lot could use a cleaning. There is garbage all around the vicinity of the building. Store is dingy. Prices are too high considering everything is donated. Employees are very rude and ungrateful when dropping off donations as well.

This store used to be a great place to shop for bargains. I will say that it could use a good cleaning though! Last time I was here, I was told by another customer to be careful because of a spill on the floor. I brought it to staff's attention, but not sure whether they cleaned it or not, because I left shortly after. But overall, the store has a "dusty" feel, I know that staff is busy, but maybe they could hire a cleaning crew. This isn't uncommon for Sally's locations though. Many customer's seem to try clothing on, then leave many items in the fitting rooms. That's not really the stores fault though. I have found many great things here from children's clothing, kitchen items, toys, etc. They do have a large selection and also have half off almost everything on Wednesdays. When you first enter the store, you should take notice which colors are featured (whether green, blue, pink, yellow) because they choose one or two per day that will be sale items. This may only apply to clothing though, I'm not sure.

Sad to say this but my once favorite Sally's is just not that fun anymore. Racks are half empty and what little inventory they have is over-priced. The young employees are pleasant and will greet you and be friendly, the older employees pretty much just grunt. Not sure if the lack of inventory is Covid related or not. This used to be my 'Happy Place' and favorite hunting ground. It's barren and a sad place nowadays.
