Ypsilanti Thrift Shop — Local services in Ypsilanti

I found it strange that very few items were priced, the store only accepted cash payment, and one of the women working there was following me around the store as I was browsing, which made me feel uncomfortable and gave off an unfriendly vibe.

So my wife, son, and I turned around in the doorway and walked out with our $125 ... and any future possibility of business. If your intent was to bail early, then change your posted hours of business to reflect it. "Sat.: OPEN till 1p," indeed. Try 12:40p; or "Likely open till 1p;" or "Probably...

Shop owners were gossiping about a local thrift store while we shopped. After hearing this we were not surprised that they were not busy. The merchandise was overpriced and more than gently used

Not impressed with the selections too.

It was unfortunate as we were excited! Ownership should focus on genuine friendliness and good products and people...
