Society of St. Vincent de Paul - Surprise Thrift Store — Local services in Surprise

What a disgrace! I thought the purpose of this store was to give people an opportunity to get nice stuff for less. I also understood that the store was to serve some type of helpful purpose. This location in particular is definitely trying to make profit. When I was in there I was interested in a older plate but it definitely wasn't that old and they wanted $100 for it. And when I asked them why that piece was so expensive he turned around and tried to tell me it's because it's vintage and it's signed. Like what is a thrift store like this one have any business charging which was way more than retail for a piece of this. I know that trade well and that was overpriced significantly on top of there was no proof that that signature was a legitimate. And then he started talking about when I was leaving Let's Make a Deal and tried to charge me $80. And then they had a pair of hey dudes shoes in there that they were charging like 40 or $44 for and they weren't in brand new condition that's crazy. Then when I was looking at the watches he was talking about oh that's a great deal he used to have these really nice ones and tjis and that like at this point how am I supposed to believe that this person isn't getting the nice stuff for himself or calling his friends whenever true gems come in the store. It felt more like a pawn shop then a thrift store that is named after...

I will not be donating anymore to this organization. Not after today. I had an experience beforehand with one of their associates whom I told to not go into my car after he said that I have items in the back seat. I know what I have in my car, but not everything is being dropped off. Ask before going into anyone’s vehicle; don’t open up doors and grab things. The attitude he took was brought to another person’s attention. I doubt anything was done about his insolence. Well I would have thought the least this person would do is put it behind him. Not so. He was sarcastic in his “welcome back” greeting, and stood in front of me with a look of intimidation and malcontent. The other associate said he didn’t hear anything wrong that was said. Well, after I dropped off the items I had, explain to me the smart remark of “Remember Vietnam.” I’m old, but not that old. I’m a veteran too. I was so pissed after leaving, and called to complain about this. I make no apologies for the language I used. I have zero tolerance for punks like this. So I’m done. No apology will satisfy me, or have me return with future donations. I’ll donate to another charity. One that employs people who are more respectful, appreciative, and well mannered. Unbelievable what I had to...

Close the door's fifteen minutes before six o'clock and that was incredibly frustrating. I got told when I walked in the door that I had one minute to shop and I had to hurry in that one minute. I was looking for furniture and I would be right out. The one piece of furniture I found had no price tag on it and They told me to come back tomorrow. Diego told me I had no more time for purchases That the purchase time was over and it was ten minutes Until six o'clock. I said I found a dresser. I would like to buy and he said sorry. Cash register's clothes. I can come back tomorrow. And of course, he added, none of this is up for debate as he waved me to the exit, alll at ten minutes 10 minutes to 6. They are all obviously in a hurry to get out of there. When I asked him his name, he told me diego And i've been here for 7 years now he said. So I'm going to assume that he didn't care at all. If I called the main office or left a review. Is not that big of a deal in the grand scheme of things, but incredibly rude and it would be nice if the honor what's...
