The Salvation Army Family Store — Local services in Galesburg

I think the prices are way too high on most of the furniture there have been many times I've seen trashy stained furniture that I wouldn't take for free off a curb but someone there puts ridiculous high prices on it. I wonder where all that money goes? They raised the prices on the stuffed animals a few months back and most the time they dont make sense I swear they dont even look at them when they are deciding the price I've seen duplicates of same stuffed animal each a different price. I wish they would put the sizes on the women's pants. They put the sizes on the mens pants for awhile then raised the prices lol. I wonder why they go through so many different cashiers so quickly hmmm maybe they dont get treated right there, I've heard about the manager yelling and being very disrespectful to employees maybe they need a new manager. About 2 yrs a go I was shopping there and could hear the manager raising her voice to a group of newly hired employees sounding very rude...

I made my last visit to the thrift store the other day. The prices rival new prices at area stores and that coupled with the rudeness of the staff are not worth the effort. A fellow shopper seeking to purchase a damaged table and chairs and and sought out the manager to offer a price that, in all reality, was still too high, stated she did so to help the community out. This lady waited patiently while the manager had to get permission. She explained that her vehicle wouldn't accomodate the set and asked the manager if her friend could pick it up in a few minutes. She said yes. Then the cashier, who rings up as Jo,; argued with her over the pre-approved arrangements. Two other customers and I stood and shook our heads. Then the stock boy came out to get the items and was pretty vocal about what he was and wasn't doing regarding the loading. All in all, a...

There was NOTHING to "like" about this store. Whoever is in charge of 'organizing' the apparel obviously has no clue on reality and leaves one to assume they live in constant disarray. Childrens for instance, 1st they assume all sizes should be combined from newborn to sz14 big kid. So if you want something newborn-12m be prepared to skim through 3 different aisles, big kids, both boys and girls & so on. Worse! If you go in for a sleeper you'll be in the same situation, 3 different aisles, all sizes, all sorts, and so on. Someone needs to fire whoever is in charge and help this store... QUICK! I HAPPILY walked out without spending a dime and am now on my way to goodwill! Shame on this...
