Class & Trash — Local services in Salinas

One of the best thrifting experiences of our PCH road trip. My intended entered the shop alone, while I took a phone call outside. He’s a big dude, and in these situations when his large body is juxtaposed with packed shelves of unreasonably breakable goods he often gets a few looks. Class & Trash was no exception. Upon entering, my exquisite lover felt himself attracted to an aisle that was blocked by a shopping cart.

They make decorating your home a true treasure! They also do pick up of your home donations and delivery of their store purchases. Good people, good items, good prices=...

Not sure if it’s the same owner. My family has been coming here since the 90s. Last time I went they were still at S Main in 2021. Female owner kept talking to a friend of hers in the store out loud several times people who come to this country need to learn the language and doesn’t understand why they don’t and just stick to their own kind while my Spanish only senior mom was paying for an item. I didn’t appreciate that and every time I walked into this store I was stared at as if I was going to still their trash. Seeing they are in East Salinas were all the brown people are I could only imagine how people are...
