The Salvation Army Thrift Store & Donation Center — Attraction in Passaic

Walked in about an hour before closing time, and shopped around for about five minutes. Noticed the lights were turned off and staff were giving me and my bf looks which was confusing. I walked up to them asking if the store was closed and they didn’t speak any English so communicating was difficult. I used hand gestures and they finally understood what I meant and said yes in Spanish. Thankfully I know some Spanish. I got a bit annoyed to be honest, this thrift store was a bit out of the way for me. About half an hour. And then come to find out they close an hour early? Please honor your opening and closing times. If it’s not what it says online then change it.

And if you are going to close early, lock the doors or have someone come over to tell me that you’re closing. I felt like a fool shopping around and getting side glances & dirty looks, didn’t appreciate that. All the staff just stayed by the counter talking to one another. And just a disclaimer I don’t have anything against people that don’t know English, my parents are immigrants so I understand. I just found it hard to communicate and was moreso frustrated no one made the effort to tell me the store was closing. Then finding out this is in Passaic? Not worth the trip.

Also I almost missed the place because the parking lot was confusing. The entrance gate is closed so you had to go in the exit. Not safe, good thing it wasn’t busy. The parking lot is small and tight. I get anxiety over things like this, scared I’m going the wrong way and such so thanks for that. There’s plenty of other thrift stores to go to, my overall experience I won’t come...

I used to love this store. the service was amazing and the prices were very good even considering the fact that it was all used donated items. didn't know it was a salvation army and price things accordingly and treated their customers well and made it a fun pleasant experience to shop here. a few years ago there was a change in management and now everything is the opposite. the prices are high almost like new items and definitely not use donated items at a salvation army. sign stress the fact that there are no returns so if you buy a broken television appliance clock for $100 to $200 you're out of luck. probably why they have so many why would you take a risk when you can buy the same television at the same price or even cheaper. the staff is rude unhelpful and act as if they're doing you a favor and you should bow down and thank them for the horrible service and terrible pricing. do not recommend. do not shop here. yes it once was a great place but now it is the exact opposite....
