The Salvation Army Thrift Store Woodside, NY — Local services in New York

I went shopping Saturday, and while I was going through the isles on the shirts, I almost slipped on a bunch of hangers. So I brushed them away under the hanged clothes with my foot, clearing the pass way so no one will accidentally slip on them. The Working lady (Carmen) in front of me suddenly said “Thats not helping mam’” but since I went back immediately to my shopping I didn’t noticed she was speaking to me. Than she stood across from me and said once again loudly “‘mam thats not helping, you kicking it, is not helping” Now that really upset me, and my mistake for responding rudely but i’ll explain why it upset me, I said “Funny, I didn’t came to help, but to shop” with that she left angrily saying how disgusting my attitude was. Now for the reason I got really upset was that I have worked in costumer service, as a hostess, waitress, cashier and retail. So I have dealt with many many people. If you know, you know. So whenever I go shopping I always pick up after myself, hang the barely-hanging-by-one-shoulder-shirt back, and have never once heard a thank you back. But it takes one time, I don’t feel like picking 7 hangers on the floor, that I didn’t even dropped, made me slip….I get to be treated like a ‘disgusting’ costumer. Its not a very nice experience, you can not be talking to people like you own the place. Have respect for others, people came to do some shopping...

This review is not toward the Salvation Army down the street. This review is toward the Thrift Store with the clothes outside. DO NOT GO HERE! I came to drop off clothes on New Years Eve (last day to donate for 2016). A Hispanic man was kind enough to help me get my large bags of clothes and shoes from my car to the store. When I asked for a receipt, however, he replied "We have no more paper." HUH? I spoke to my personal tax professional prior to coming t the store and I told from him that as long as my clothes/shows were donated by 12/31/16, I'm eligible for a tax deduction. Well, I went back two weeks later (after the blizzard) and asked for a receipt. When I arrived, I was greeted by an Indian who did not know what was going on. I simply told her I was here for a receipt, as I came few weeks prior to donate items. The lady told me "We don't give receipts". WHAT?!? I then asked to speak to a manager. I was then brought to Lourdes (the wife of the Hispanic man that first helped me). She told me she needed to take my name and number down so she could call me when she got the receipts from her accountant. BULL!!! It's now been three weeks since that incident and I've yet to receive a phone call. I will never donate or set foot in that place again. I've reported them to the BBB and posted this review as a warning to everyone who desires to donate. DO...
