Second Chance Thrift Shop — Local services in Harlingen

I GOT SCAMMED! I paid $57 when my price was supposed to be $25 Most things were supposed to be 50% off but I ended up paying full price for EVERYTHING. The lady at the checkout was very RUDE and dishonest. When we first walked up, she was talking to someone and seemed fine. She quickly changed her mood when we got there, she looked irritated. We had a lot of items so we were patient with her. We tried making small talk but no response. She didn't seem friendly at all. The man helping her was very kind though. He was talking and laughing but the woman, nothing. We asked if everything was 50% off and she said not these flower pots, which was fine. There was a Christmas item that I didn't want bc it wasn't 50% off but she didn't remove it from her system. In the end, the price on her system said $62 but she said our total was $57. I started to question but I thought it was ok because of all the stuff I got. I gave her a $100 bill bc that was all I had. She gave me the change and I wished her a better day. As I was walking out, I counted my change and was short $2. I was ok with it bc the money is going to the church but it wasn't till later when I realized I was way off by a LOT. When I got to my family's house, I counted everything and did the math. My price was supposed to be $25.50. So that means she charged me $31.50 EXTRA. The place was already closed so I couldn't talk to anyone. I'm not from here. I traveled down from Austin tx, to visit family and they said it was a nice place. They also said there was a rude lady who worked there but I didn't think she would do something like this. I feel very disappointed and hurt. 💔 Something to think about is, if she did that to me then how many other people has she scammed?

Horrible experience. They call themselves Christians? Giving me attitude because I didn't pay with cash. Slamming down a box because I asked for a bag. Giving me more attitude because she had to walk 5 steps to charge my card. Ridiculous. These ladies are extremely rude and I will never go back there again. They complain about any inconvenience and make your shopping g experience so bad that you don't ever...

Had a very bad experience Lady💁 in the check stand was very rude. I don’t know if she is part of the staff of the church or volunteer. The rest of the people in the rooms were very polite and friendly. I definitely would not want somebody like to deal with...
