I love this store! It usually brings me peace because I love unique, thrifted items and the selection here is amazing. However, today, I overheard a conversation between an employee (who I believe may actually be the owner?) and a customer about how they hate wearing masks. The employee was not wearing a mask when I walked in, and not wearing a mask when she was checking me out and talking to me. It worries me even more how clean the store is if she could not even accept wearing a mask while sitting. If they don't follow a simple mask order, are they sanitizing the store? The baskets? Are they following any COVID-19 guidelines to keep people safe? Masks are to protect other people! Not yourself! This is the biggest misunderstanding/oversight of anti-maskers and either this woman, who is running a small business that I used to love, has little empathy for others or simply does not know what the masks are for in the first place. So, either she has completely ignored anything anyone has ever said about masks, or she simply does not care about her community or her patrons. This experience was wildly upsetting, seeing as how we've had 500,000+ deaths from COVID-19, the highest of any developed nation because of people like her. She and the customer were even discussing how they disapproved of the vaccine and do not plan on getting it. In my visit to this store before today, another employee was having a long, emotional conversation with a customer about how crushing it has been to lose people to COVID-19. The difference in philosophies is astounding and clearly shows that one of these women is more caring than the other. I will not be shopping here again, as it shows how different our values are. I cannot support this store. I will be calling the city about...
Read moreDo not shop here! Dishonest and money grubbing. The manager told me the employee Pastor Francisco Fatima Gonzalez was not employed by him but he allows her to check people out and take their money. I offered to pay for the table I wanted but was told Fatima would HOLD it so my boyfriend could take a look at it. I asked if I could pay by phone and was told yes I had till 6pm. At 5:35 my boy friend called to tell me Fatima tried to sell him the same table for a hundred dollars more then what she quoted me. When I called up Fatima she told me she could not hold the table and it was already sold. The manager stated the table was still in the store but he would not allow me to purchase it and would give me a good deal on something else. I find it amusing that he witnessed the entire encounter between Fatima and I and never stepped in to correct her or ask me to pay. I'm now told he's store does not hold items and they must be paid for to hold. This store is full of broken , dirty and misused items. If you find something with a price Fatima will try to wiggle out of the purchase if she thinks she can get a high price for the item. I was also accused of switching tags on a purse which she refused to sell until she called the person who owned the booth to confirm it was the right price. It's sad that neither the manager or Pastor Fatima respect their customers. Worst Thrift Store In The City!!!!! I'd give it zero...
Read moreTom is a very nice guy let me start off by saying that. But his estate sale side of the business is not very good at all. We had a 2600 sq ft house full of furniture with alot of extra furniture as well that we were living in. We live in South Park. 4 bedrooms the only items we took from them were 2 beds and a mirror and 2 side tables. We left everything else. 1 living room that had a couch 2 chairs bar bar stools art/pictures on all the walls, all furniture was in decent shape. dining room with pictures, kareo cabinet and an entire 6 person dining room table with leaf, it had a few scratches but a very nice piece. kitchen had a table and 4 chairs, small TV, stainless steel fridge which sold for $700 and a bunch of kitchen items. back porch with a 6 person aluminum tables and chairs that was in very good condition. 2nd living room with couch, love seat recliner, poker/bumper pool table all in very good condition as well as picture on walls. extra room with armories. we had so many small pieces as well. 2 lap tops, an entire baseball card collection, sports memorabilia, clothes, luggage, bike, and the list goes on. the weather for the weekend was cold and raining and that was the excuse i got.
