I really hate to leave this review, but I had a really uncomfortable experience here that seems to be echoed by other people in the reviews.
I’ve shopped at many wastelands, and I’m always able to find really cute things. Yesterday my friend and I were shopping for clothes.
I was standing near the dressing room, holding my stuff while I was still looking at the rack when one of the employees came over to me and asked to hold my items. I told her “no thank you, I’m still shopping” she said, “let me hold on some of the items for you so that we have them when you are ready to try them on”.
Again I declined. I don’t like trying things on and I know my size so I had full intention of buying them.
She again said, “let me hold onto these “. During this time, my friend had multiple items in her hand, but she never once asked her to hand anything over.
By the time I circled back, she had already put away my items. It just made the shopping experience so uncomfortable that I left the store without purchasing anything which was about $200 worth of items.
It definitely felt like I was being profiled and I really need management to realize even though you may be losing money from people stealing it’s such a bad practice to make your clientele feel uncomfortable. I am never going back to this location when I can shop at other thrift stores that won’t make me feel uncomfortable.
