Village Discount Outlet — Local services in Akron

I literally come to the store multiple times a week usually I spend so much money, I usually love this store.. However, I did have a situation this past weekend on Sunday August 3, 2025 that I am very upset about. I took my niece school clothes shopping & we had stopped at Village discount we had a lot of items in the cart.. she was trying on clothes & for some reason some lady that was WORKING at the dressing room approached me very rudely, very aggressively, & very confrontational and said “umm excuse me???? How dare you I heard what you said” I said “excuse me what are you talking about lady, I’m not sure what u think I just said but I was talking to my 11 year old niece & I told her I’m very glad she at least found a couple of things that she liked that had fit her.” SO CONFUSED ON WHAT THIS WORKER LADY WAS TALKING ABOUT… then she gets in my face & is almost pointing her finger in my face & proceeds to say “ I’m not gonna repeat what you said but just know I heard you & so did that lady over there” & points to an innocent customer shopping with her two children. I’m not sure what this lady was even taking about not even the slightest clue what she thinks she heard i didn’t use profanity I literally had said the exact line I just said I said.. she was clearly wrong & how dare her come at /approach me like that while I’m there minding my own business as a paying customer! I asked to speak to the manager she came over and talked to me but that still doesn’t change what happened. That lady was clearly crazy.. I would have rated this store a 5 star last week, I haven’t even decided if I’m going to go back because I got no apology even.. the prices have been extremely high lately anyways there’s no way used shein clothes should be more expensive then brand new ones… saddened by...

Very frustrating. The household/China,dishes,glassware: Found a couple of sets but some strewn all over the place and couldn't find the pieces marked with prices and number of pieces in set . When I asked, they gave me a higher price and no 'color' to see if it was on sale . Didn't buy. Some items I picked up marked with color, but you couldn't read it as it was like doctors handwriting! Y was on sale ,got one that looked like a y but she said it looked like a g!! Didn't get it on matter of principle. Come on ,how hard is that to write one letter legible??!! Or how about use different colors of sharpies? (Dollar tree) so easy!! The cashier told me she can't even read a lot of them!! A few pieces were not marked at all and no x indicating it was a set. They need to box the sets together to keep them together, there's free boxes everywhere. Like an open box,some tape across too so u can look ,mark with price and number of pieces . Some Goodwill's do it this way. Plus it's already boxed and easier at checkout. I was stressed the whole time bc I couldn't find prices and couldn't find anyone to ask for quite some time either. I will not return if it stays this way . ps I didn't buy any clothing (they have a ton)but a few pieces I looked at were very high priced, but they do have the color sales but it would take a lot of time to look for just...

🛑BREAKING NEWS: My favorite thrift store has apparently undergone a dramatic identity crisis. 😵‍💫 It no longer knows it’s a thrift store. It thinks it’s Saks Fifth Avenue. Or maybe Gucci’s rebellious little cousin.

Once upon a time, this was the holy land of good deals—where you could find a vintage gem for the price of a gas station coffee. ☕✨ But now? I’m seeing used Puma shoes priced higher than brand new ones on Puma’s own website. 🐾👟 Like… excuse me? Is there gold in the soles? A secret message from Rihanna?

Dear management: 📣 Just a heads up—you’re selling used clothes. Not artisanal cheese. Not handwoven alpaca sweaters blessed by a Peruvian shaman. 🧀🦙

Now you’ve got $30 Grateful Dead tie-dyes 🌀💀 and $15 for T-shirts that look like they’ve been through three music festivals, a breakup, and one spiritual awakening.

I mean, if y’all want to launch a high-end boutique for ironic fashionistas with ironic bank accounts, go off. 💅 Rename the place “Haute Garbage” and give us free kombucha while we browse. But for the love of thrifting—know your audience.

Bring back the deals, the dusty racks, the thrill of the find. Not sticker shock and buyer’s remorse.

End of rant. 💸💔🛍️ #ThriftStoreGoneRogue #UsedButNotCheap...
