St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store — Local services in Juneau

I came at 9am today so that I could make sure to be at the front of the line when they opened at 10am for donations. The manager woman inside refused to acknowledge me except for the occasional stank eye. She gave me some kind of hand wave at one point but I couldn't really see her well from my car. It may have been the finger but I'm not sure. Employees would arrive at the donation door and would knock and she would ignore them until she felt like letting them in. Once they started accepting donations, the poor employees were getting berated by her for accepting too many clothes. I was the first car and she was already yelling at them. I can only imagine what they had to deal with from her with the other 5 cars that were in line behind me. Complete jerk of a woman and I feel sorry for...

I've found a few things here that I genuinely enjoy, don't get me wrong. The staff is also helpful and friendly.

I don't know much about business, but you'd think lower prices would give thrift stores a...

The staff is very friendly, yes things can be pricey but you can also find great deals. I had a terrible experience at another theft store downtown (Salvation Army) that made me feel terrible because I found 2 items at 1.00 each for fake snow, the cashier whom said, " I'm the manager and this is mispriced, obviously my employees are putting the wrong price on things and the best I could do is 5 dollars each" FOR FAKE SNOW....it's September and I'm thinking a head for my first Christmas here.... at ST Vincent they actually get HAPPY AND EXCITED for you when you find a good deal! That is why I will pay a little more at ST Vincent. Thrift Store. Don't go to the Salvation army...
