Hospital Thrift Shop — Local services in Nantucket

There are NO dressing rooms in the building. Some mean old lady who works there reprimanded me for trying on a dress in a secluded corner upstairs. I had a bra and bike shorts on, I wasn’t getting fully nude and she was just like “Um… No! You need to try it on over your clothes” and how would you like me to do that Karen? I was already wearing a dress, so I can’t put a dress over my dress? I removed one section at a time as I was putting on the other dress. Nothing inappropriate was showing. You have young girls running around in the store in their yoga outfits that are essentially underwear, but you’re scolding me for it? When she left another one of the staff looked at me and said “You’re fine,” while smirking. The old lady then came back around the corner and just stood there holding items watching me, she was actually really creepy and rude. Why is she so concerned about a woman trying on women’s clothes in the women’s section around other women? We all have breasts, no one else cared that I was trying things on, there was absolutely 0 reason for her controlling and rude attitude. There were other people trying things on all over the second floor, so I don’t know if she was just intimidated by my body type or what the problem was, but that was ridiculous. Please invest in some dressing rooms or curtains...

We were waiting for the store to open in a 15-minute spot and an older woman with short gray hair opened the front door of she shop and proceeded to yell at us, embarrassing us in front of dozens of passer-bys, telling us we weren't allowed to be parked there. We were in the spot in a running vehicle for 3 minutes waiting. She list our donations and our business as we were excited to explore the shop. Her rudeness was unwarranted and I will never forget how...

I cannot recommend this thrift shop highly enough! I was on the island for the day and I had never been to this shop before, and I was so impressed! Especially with the book selection! If you are a reader, you must stop here! There were shelves upon shelves of current popular novels, things on my wishlist, and the prices are perfect. $3 for a hardcover! They had a sale going on: $1 for non-fiction. my goodness, please do yourself a favor and visit this...
