Introduction/Definition/etc

 

Local thrift store chain, treats some people

with disrespect, despite the stated mission

of helping poor and disabled, the staff,

and possibly management have some customer

service to learn, IMO...

 

 

Body

 

Created a long time ago, around the time of the Depression,

IIRC, and employing a lot of poor and disabled,

but the employees, some I've met are some of the

worst on their own kind, IMO...

 

One store told to stand there.

Most say leave your bags,

I'm not leaving my "purse" with valuables up

front.

 

People hanging around outside, so not safe there either.

 

But they take donations...

Supported by IRS Non Profit Status,

and treat disabled people badly?

 

Give a store clerk some power,

and they seem to turn nasty,

and even the manager of one

was discriminating.  They allow

strollers in the store, but not wheelchairs

or their equivalent?

 

Some are good deals, CDs for $1

when an iTunes song costs about $1.

You have to encode it and stuff,

even if it's not scratched and worthless.

 

Most don't have bike racks, most are

not safe places of town to shop,

must be a car owning person or

subject yourself to humiliation and

harassment based on appearances..

 

So all people with bags must be thieves?

 

Loudspeakers blast info about a nice

new iPhone app, but it doesn't do

much but show locations of stores,

their TWIT and FACE stuff is PR.

FRIEND THEM? Like Them?

 

Are they friendly to customers?

All customers?  Even with disabilities,

and you show a disability ID and still

bossed around like a POS (Piece Of Shit)?

 

StreetSense would not do grudge

reporting, places that treat people badly,

and allow reporters/ writers to publish

about it.  It was a glossed over do good

feel good, lie basically, IMO.

 

People are still treated like shit in today's

society, and a place that employs and takes

donations from people supposedly

benefiting and have policy of respect,

and mission that sounds like BS/

marketing and lie based on personal

experience.

 

Sure they had sewing machines for $30

each.  And later saw a tabled one for

$60, but does it work?  Can't stand

and talk with some one, a customer,

to figure out if it works, as the rude staff person

yells at you to get out of the isle

while checking it out.

 

Got to check all sorts of stores,

to even find them, I guess they are rare

nowadays, a lost art, and

posted no return policy on electronics,

and well a sewing machine is partly

an electrical machine, but not really

electronics, new ones can self thread

and are basically cloth based 3D

printers, but those are $8k new

embroidery machines...

 

Anyways , see ComeOutOfTheSewingCloset2011

Interesting store policy that employees can not

buy from the store.  So no CherryPicking of the donations,

I guess, but also seems a little like discrimination,

as if the employee is not the general public too...
