Retro Discount City — Local services in Springfield

I discovered Retro at the beginning of 2023. $10 binz, $3 clothes, $0.99 cents bougie candy and Christmas decor. It was pure magic!!! Like Disney World! {I was seriously tempted to skip around and throw Pixie Dust!} Then that sale/ time period ended… and it lost its luster. $20 binz with “cheap” {broken, used, missing pieces, low quality, scratched/ damaged, etc… and when I say used, picture hair product build up on the barrel of a curling iron or green and white calcium and mineral deposits in a shower head… that kinda used} merch… They were overcharging and I mentioned this in a Facebook comment; HONESTLY, yet TACTFULLY. An example would be that they were charging $20 for used, opened, off-brand, broken, cheaply made flat irons while Bin Crazy was cranking out the latest CHI Brand Models, unopened for $10. Another example would be $20 for poor quality floor lamps I found with missing pieces, scratches, and broken glass shades. Meanwhile I scored a Target Project 62 Ellis Tripod Brass floor lamp at Bin Crazy (retails for $100 today) in perfect condition for (you guessed it) $10! Again, I simply mentioned the differences in lower quality merch and the FACT that they were overcharging when compared to lower prices and higher quality merch at other bins stores in town, such as but not limited to, Bin Crazy and Bin Diggin and that it was no longer enjoyable to shop at Retro. Now, as anyone worth their salt knows, you bring a problem to the person behind the big desk, you’re just complaining. Unless! You have a solution. And so, in the same post, I mentioned that I would love to come back when all the deals like the post-Christmas ones and/ or higher quality merch had returned. I went to check the Retro Facebook page a few weeks later and discovered that they had blocked me… “I’m not sure why” {Quotes because I picture that said in Ron White’s voice with that knowing smirk}. Again, my comment was honest yet respectful, not to mention the Facebook page information is all accessible via Google so… I guess maybe it was to confuse me? Maybe to hide the truth from loyal customers? {I also discovered the Google reviews and the irony in the fact that ONLY Negative reviews get a response… there’s that Ron White smirk again… responses that never fail to have that nails-on-a-chalkboard, back-handed, spiteful bite to them. (“Ew, David!”)Lots more irony seeing as the loaded responses indicate {as my dear & brilliant friend Thomas would say “that sounds like a ‘You Problem’ there, friend.”}. I just remember some such tosser sass about “entitled mindset and anger” in regards to deep discounts….. bro, you in the business of deep discounts! Your business IS {quite literally} deep discounts! Take several seats! I can’t even figure out what needs fixin first at this point!} All in all, I’m not saying they don’t have good deals- they certainly did in the past! {Cheers to that, mate!} But these tosh present deals… Pish posh and rubbish, that! {And to whatever snarky remark my review will no doubt earn me… I picture a cross between Jim Carey’s “IIIII’m COUNTING ON IT!” A well earned dismissive flick of the lashes to the heavens, & Sophia Petrillo’s Season 7 Episode 11 line,...

You only get a good deal if the product isn't worth much. Allow me to explain.

I came with my daughter yesterday to check out what they had left for $7.99. There wasn't a whole lot worth that much. Hence why it was still left at the end of the day... there were about a dozen of the same squishmallow scattered around. The 16-inch one that retails for $29.99. Obviously everyone that had been through that day found these particular squishmallows not to be worth spending $7.99 on, myself included. Like I said there were several left and they were getting ready to close so I promised my daughter that we would return before they open the next day so I could buy her one it the $2 price day.

When I tell you I raced across town to fulfill my promise... I got there as quickly as I could and made it there by the time they opened. Only for the staff to go and collect all the squishmallows off the floor so they couldn't be purchased.

I finished my shopping and when I went to check out I asked nicely if I could please have one. I explained the whole situation that I was there yesterday and there were several left and I promised my daughter we would come back first thing and get one today. I told her I drove from all the way outside of town to come get one for her.

The lady explained that they believe the squishmallows are too valuable to be sold on $2 day... I told her that was quite unfair. Her exact words were "I would argue that is unfair to the owner to be selling $40 items for only $2" I said but isn't that the point of this place? To get really good deals on things? To be able to buy things at a discounted price that would normally cost much more in the store? And she simply said well if you wanted it you should have bought it on Monday.

That being said... you might luck out and get some good deals here but don't ever come in expecting to get anything that's worth $30 or more because they will deliberately take it off the floor so you can't buy it. You can get a OK deal... But don't expect...
