Think Thrift Store — Attraction in Lauderdale Lakes

I love the clothing selection here: there is a lot of variety and quite a lot of the stock consists of some of the nicer brands like White House Black Market, Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Micheal Kors, etc. I bought my son a Tommy Bahama shirt on this trip that may as well have been new, and the blouse I purchased for myself still had the original tags. The small selection of costume jewelry is also well priced: both of the necklaces in my photo are natural stone, and I paid $4.99 for one and $5.99 for the other.

If you're looking for kitsch, this isn't the right place, as the focus is on shoes and clothing, but there is a small selection of home goods, some toys (well-curated, all clean and in near-new condition), and a number of children's skates and helmets.

The sales floor staff was polite as they went about their business, but the woman at the register was most definitely NOT. While checking out the two or three people in front of me, myself, and probably at least a few people after me she would Not. Stop. Talking. Loudly and at length to (or, more accurately, at) her coworker. She didn't return my greeting and didn't respond when I mentioned that I would like to buy a few things from the case that her register was sitting on (she was STILL TALKING at the coworker). I'm not entirely sure she acknowledged me at all until I asked her again about the items in the case when she had to move out of the way of the coworker getting into it to get an item for the customer behind me (incidentally, it was ones of the items I had planned on purchasing, so pretty annoying) and the door had already been slid open.

Aside from the cashier, the store was great. I enjoyed shopping, liked being able to try things on, and bought quite a bit more than I photographed for the review. Together, I ended up spending $100 on the items in the photo, another blouse, two cardigans, a pair of pajama pants, another necklace, two jewelry boxes, a large decorative basket, and a desk organizer. Only the desk organizer and one of the jewelry boxes showed any indication that they had been pre-owned. Will definitely...

I understand people's complaints. I've had more than a few of them with this and other stores over the many years of thriftng in South Florida. However, we are all human and sometimes mistakes are made and people can come off as rude, without meaning to. The staff here really does care about their community and I have seen many acts of kindness from them. Their prices can be high sometimes, but more often than not, I find most things reasonably priced. A real part of the problem is major retail stores that sell things cheaper than they should be able to. So now you go thrifting and want to pay a fraction of that. That is not a sustainable business operation. If you have a complaint at least try to address it on a store level before harming the business with a negative review. The blonde manager and Andrew will usually help in whatever way they can, but it's not a fleamarket. Be...

Part of my occupation is visiting thrift stores around the country to purchase items and use for my business. I was prepared to spend a good amount of money until I had to speak to the woman at the front register. I read other reviews about her and thought it wouldn’t matter. After speaking with her I put down all my items and left. Don’t waste your time or support this store. She made up a price that didn’t match a single thing in the store and decided to change the sale policy because she thought the brand needed to be more. More worried about her phone than anything else. Rude and obnoxious front desk clerk. Find someone else.

Bottom line is there is a Goodwill in the same parking...
