Texas Thrift Harlingen — Local services in Harlingen

I used to love coming to this Thrift Store but not anymore. The merchandise is outrageously overpriced. I doubt that it is a coincidence, but if you really pay attention you would see that all of the colored tags that are on sale for that day are the lower tier worn out items. It is like they switch out the items so you still end of paying full price for the nice things. Also, the fitting rooms are still not open and a cashier told me that they won’t be opening back up so instead they implemented a really sneaky exchange program where you can buy items and then exchange them for other items in the store if you don’t like it but do not offer a refund. This is just a really sneaky way to get even more money off of their customers. Honestly, whoever is the owner of Texas Thrift and not the store manager, needs to do a thorough evaluation for all of their wrongful and unfair practices such as price gouging.

Prices are ridiculous. Might as well buy it new at walmart. Can't find the sale tag colors? That's because the employees remove the clothing from the racks with the tags that are on sale. I saw it first hand when i went at opening time. I know someone that works there & they confirmed it's true. Items that people donate to The "donate boxes" that are randomly placed around town are not to donate to people in need. The items are sold here. If you drive around the back of the store, you see those donate boxes & you may even see those donate boxes being emptied out by personel. But Wait! Who gets the money from everything purchased?

Also, it's ridiculous on how they need to see your id if you pay with a credit/debit card. They are the only ones to do this because they don't want issues with fraud charges since it may raise questions on the...

I went 9/7/2024, and for the most part the store looks well kept. BUT them prices are outrageous. I saw 2 items that were Under Armour for almost 30$. These are used items!! So anyways i continued looking and found some converse for 15$ i was ok pricey but im gonna take it. Kept looking and found 2 small stuffed toys and i was going to take them. I get to the cashier and ask her who prices the items in the store? She says oh it’s people in the back im like ok. So she comes up to 1 of the toys and she’s like im sorry i can’t sell you this one cuz it has no price so i ask can’t you just price it w/another one similar she says no sorry store policy and the price will be added today but wont be available for sell till tomorrow. Im looking at her confused! Like this is USED items. So anyways i tell her never mind I’m not taking any of it anymore...
