St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store and Donation Center, Columbus OH — Local services in Columbus

This is one of my favorite thrift stores to shop at, that was until today. The rudeness I encountered by my cashier, the older lady with the sandy blond hair, you know her if you shop regularly. Well there my daughter was, being a normal hyper active kid, me trying to correct her. During which a very kind lady approached her and I and was complimenting my daughter’s intelligence. Toward the end of the exchange she made an innocent comment about how my daughter might be the president one day. The audacity of the woman say “gosh wouldn’t that be scary” was unbelievably unnecessary to make any negative comment about my child who is diagnosed ADHD/autistic. Bet you didn’t know that, maybe you should think before you speak. Shame on you, you should be ashamed of yourself. I will not be shopping there when you’re in the store and I advise you to hire...

Maybe it was a bad day, but first impressions were aggressive despite the cashier having a pleasant and polite conversation to the person ahead of us. She used clipped sentences and became sharp-lipped when it came to making hs describe what furniture we picked. The way we were communicated to was dumbfounding. Very bizarre considering we visited next door and received far better costumer support than the store we actually PLANNED to visit? The tone was enough to have other employees and store-goers to look over. Took our item after payment and will skip this thrift store next time, which is a shame because the prices on some of the appliances and furniture were good! Cashier was an older blonde woman...

Came in to purchase several items for a mentally disabled homeless man in need of clothes immediately. One item did not have a price in which he needed and the cashier refused to sell the item noting “SORRY THERE IS NO PRICE I CANT SELL IT SORRY!” This stuff was donated for FREE and this place ha emerge to not sell a item a homeless man was in need of? Why was the item on the floor for sale of it’s not for sale? Is it the customer’s fault the item was not priced?

Loss of total sale all due refusal to sale a donated item - STUPID! And a man in need went without. Off to the competition to give them the revenue...
