Saint Vincent de Paul Thrift Store — Local services in Racine

The prices are reminiscent of the old St. Vincent in Kenosha back in 2010ish, near the KKHC. They actually grasp the concept of"thrift store", and the atmosphere was mostly enjoyable I have a few complaints. One, the cashier was having a conversation with someone through her Air Pods during the entire transaction. This made it very confusing, and it was also inappropriate Second, while there were signs advertising green tags as "half off", nothing of mine was actually rung up as half off. I didn't notice this until I got home. I have a 35 minute dive, the gas isn't worth the drive back to correct it. Maybe if she was not having a conversation, she would've made sure I was charged correctly. And lastly, there was a furniture set that had just come in. It was not yet priced. When asking at the front what the price was, I was shocked to find it wasn't off from what I'd pay for something decently on sale at a discount furniture store.

I will never donate to this organization again. I used to have the truck Pick up the boxes from my home. And those gentlemen never stopped and dug through every box to decide what they wanted for the store. And what they wanted to throw in the garbage. I was really taken aback. I have donated to the organization for many many years. And I will never ever ever ever donate again please take your...
