Samaritan Bargains & Bins — Local services in Springdale

I have been a supporter of the Samaritan Shop since I’ve lived in Springdale, AR. However, they have revamped the floor and as lovely as it looks- NOT ALL ITEMS DISPLAYED ARE PRICED FOR SALE. There is no sign stating not for sale, but I was told 3-4 weeks they might be priced. This is a THRIFT store and the proceeds go to feed local families at the Samaritan pantry in Springdale, AR.

When a woman finally got her to check people out, she didn't apologize for the wait or anything. When she was checking me out, she was very cold and short with her words. Grabbing my card from me... ended up not buying anything and leaving...

My Sister, and her two boys and my son (who are 4 and under) visited this establishment today and the boys were super eager to check out the toys. They would have something out or be looking and the worker lady would immediately snap at them and put the toys back even though we had the intention to buy them and we weren’t going to leave it a mess. The same worker put my sisters cart away while it was in use, and was very rude to my Grandma who came later and had some confusion on a price. I was over all happy with what I found there just not with...
