It's my favorite thrift store in town! Can't go wrong with 1/2 off Sundays or Mondays!

It's a classic thrift store. Certain tag colors will give you a greater discount, bring in a receipt on a Sunday and get half off. I will find something there every so often but most of it seems like Goodwill leftovers. It's cheaper than Goodwill, but I guess you get what you pay for. It's also kind of dirty or grungy.

Those red tag items are ridiculous. I understand they’re pricing them for half of their original cost but it’s a THRIFT STORE. And the five star rewards and Sunday coupons not working for the red tag items? Even more troubling… My only concern is the well being of their cashiers and how the store is starting to change, especially now that it’s getting hot and the conditioning hardly turns on. I came in one night and they were absolutely wonderful to me, very engaging and we talked about common interests. But, there was an instance where someone was caught stealing and the cashiers did their best to get the items back but it was very scary as it is just young girls majority of the time. Are there no security or any other male co workers here to aid in their safety? One of the girls said she didn’t mind putting her safety ahead of the younger girls and it is very worrisome, especially with all the homeless people coming in and scaring not only the customers, but the girls as well. There have been times where I see three cashiers on the registers and even then, it still seems like those poor girls are always struggling to make ends meet there, especially when there are customers who trash their dressing rooms or leave more work for those poor girls because they don’t get their way. Other thrift stores have upped their prices and I felt like thrifty bargain was the safe haven for those who struggle but with the prices going up, I feel like the only reason I go there is because of how loving their cashiers are and how they do their best to explain to other customers what’s on sale, what’s not on sale and so on. Another thing that concerns me is that the manager is never there on the weekends and I’ve seen the poor cashiers get chewed out when trying to explain their boss’ protocol for specific things. They always do well in de-escalating but it’s so sad seeing them get yelled at. Or when the donation times are different - on the messaging machine and when actually coming in and the cashiers explaining the times it closes, very confusing…
