Inspirations Thrift Store - Union — Local services in Union

I would love it if they didn’t keep raising their prices. These are used items and items that are probably donated or paid very little amount for and the greed of the people that keep raising the prices here is ridiculous. It’s a thrift store. There’s beautiful clothes here, and there’s not beautiful clothes here. Every time I go here, the prices are higher and higher, and it makes me want to go to the regular store and buy new items because these are not new items yet they are priced at $15,$20, $30 bucks. Even if they have tags on them, they’ve been sitting in someone’s storage unit or someone’s house. Just like when a car drives off a lot the same thing with clothes – it loses its value.

The organization is pretty good here. Except for the shoe area. The shoes are in a dark part of the store and it’s hard to see them and they are generally not that organized and they are absolutely overpriced. People’s feet have sweat in these shoes and this store is asking for 20 bucks for somebody’s old sweaty shoes. The most I will pay for a used pair of shoes is $10 otherwise I’m going to the store. I’m buying a brand new pair so that I know it’s only been my feet in it.

Now they have this policy about paying in cash otherwise you get charged more and it’s like $1.50 more if you have $35 worth of stuff. So not only are you ripping people off with over pricing used items but you’re also ripping them off if they use a card in your store. How many people do you know carry cash? Then if you want a bag, they charge you a dollar. Get real. When companies get greedy like this, the only hope is for them to shut down. This is supposed to be affordable for people that cannot afford to go out and buy new items but at this point, the tax on these items are priced high enough that you might as well just go to the store and buy it new.

Just because prices are going up on clothing in stores does not mean used clothes prices should go up. If people are shopping in thrift stores they probably are trying to save some money in this ever growing expensive world we live in right now.

And to the rude woman who follows people around the store like a suspicious weirdo- honey, go work at a high end store if you want to do that- it’s a freakin...

I've been to this place many times. I always find at least one good thing every time I go but you have to be patient. I dig through a lot of things to find one thing I like. Also, the workers are kinda rude. I dress kinda alternativly, today I went in with a friend and we both had dramatic eye liner on today and my friend was really dressed up. The workers kept on following us around the entire time. I could tell they were following us and not just working because the lady literally looked at the same pair of jeans that was right next to us multiple times 😭. They also closed the bottom section of the store as soon as we got there which was a little weird. We got there around 6:30. I don't know if that's a thing they normally do but it just felt weird that they closed that as soon as we got there. Maybe they just did that because its Black Friday. If you guys are planning to go here for Black Friday next year I guess just come way before 6:30 since they seem to close the bottom section at that time. But yeah besides the lady following us I asked workers a few questions about things and pretty much everyone there was rude or didn't really want to talk to us. I also noticed the prices of the stuff is a little more high than the last time I came which was a few months ago.. In short, you can definitely find nice things if you looks hard enough but be prepared to be followed around the store and stared at weirdly if you dress differently. Even though all of this happened I would still go back tho because I do find some nice...

RAHWAY STORE: When this store first opened, I was loving it. It stayed great for quite some time. Most of the really nice stuff is blue tagged, so the sales are for other colors, but you still get great buys on red tags when it's on sale. However, the day before the blue tag sale for MLK holiday, the clerk removed all the good purses. They were put back up after the sale. Tacky! The bags of yarn were $1.25 and $1.50 now they are $4.50 and $6.00. Who is going to buy them? Not me. And I was buying tons of them. They need to get back to having bargains and sometimes put the household stuff on sale. Bring people in, not...
