They closed the clothing side 30min before closing. Wish I knew this before I walked to get here. Too early to close down part of main store

Since women can browse the store with their belongings and hand bags..as a male I was told to hand over my personal belongings and bag by the manager at this store, when I pointed out that the women were still with their bags he threatened to call the police and told me to leave, I've been a shopper since 1968.. very sad..on what it's become..due 2 the management ..no bag policy or only select for gender well dressed!! I guess she had more important things in her bag then me..

This place is barely okay. The staff is over attentive to the wrong thIngs, like following patrons closely while they shop. The sales prices are lazy and unclear. Lots of clothes if you like digging. The shoes are garbage; literally many are too dirty and too worn to sell. Not worth the visit.

Save your time and money and shop elsewhere. Salvation Army, previously a cool thrift store with a lot of inventory to chose from, now prices their items so high that it will make your head spin. I'm always on the prowl for accent furniture since I have a weirdly shaped apartment, somewhat difficult to furnish. So I keep looking on and off for the magic piece ... Over time, I've noticed stuff like second-hand IKEA furniture (not the discontinued kind, the kind that's still all over Craigslist) priced *higher* than what it would cost new. Same with certain bathroom items, kitchen trinkets, dishes, toys ... Definitely not an isolated incident. Sometimes they leave the tag from the previous store and put theirs right on top, so you know you're not dreaming. I would understand if the items in question were highly desirable - think antique or even vintage, or stuff sought-after by collectors or if the objects were second-hand from pricey stores to begin with, but nope, they indiscriminately price stuff from Ross, Target, or Bed Bath & Beyond higher than what you would have to pay in those places for the item in new condition. Once in a while, you will get lucky and find something cool, at an fair price. Or something really cool that deserves its high asking price. But this seems to be the exception rather than the rule lately. I am probably not the only one to have noticed the high pricing since every time I drive past or go inside, they're incredibly slow. Not sure how long they plan on staying in business if they keep up with this practice.

They do if you are donating furniture. And, yes. Quality matters since they do want to be able to sell it fast.

You would have to check with the donation center on San Jose ave. Which is a block down but I've seen them at the store

They used to, but they are a little reluctant now.Still, if is good quality they might. Ask them, who knows! (They used to train folks to fix electrical appliances).
