Damn! This place was actually cheap, like a thrift store should be. Goodwill of the Willamette Valley jacks their prices to ridiculous heights– $15 for a 30-year-old small kitchen appliance that’s inoperable due to missing parts? Thanks, I’ll go buy the $20 one from Target. You know, the one that’s new, warrantied, and, um actually working. Goodwill is a ship of fools. I don’t know why half the people bother shopping there. And don’t get me started about their gouging of “retro” clothes or “rare” media.
I guess a town full of hipsters ruins the bargains, eh? I can’t remember last time I visited the bins and didn’t see at least a few gaunt young twentysomethings loading up their carts full of stuff to sell to Red Light or whatever.
In short: GET OFF MY LAWN.
Or, gotta get away from the trendmongers and find out where the irony-free rural types shop for crap.
Wow this completely alleviates my guilt for wanting to shop there after learning that they drive atheists and gays out of their organization.
I have a couple staples I bought there last year. It was the one thrift store in town that seemed like it wasn’t entirely picked through.
I got my wedding dress there. The tag said $7, but when I got to the counter, I found it was half price – $3.50 for an absolutely beautiful dress.
Signs like this always make me feel guilty… even though, Mike B. has it right: they alienated potential costumers, and now they’re paying for it!
roguespeere, maybe you’d have better luck if you weren’t trying to buy hipsterly ironic appliances. Go east, stupid.
My understanding is not only does the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation openly discriminate against women, gays, elders and the disabled, and anyone who can’t abide a bland faux-Baptist milieu, not only do they violate both the spirit and the letter of Federal and Oregon labor law, but they also collect upwards of 18 tons of material each day and manage to sell only one.
There was another Salvation Army shuttered on the way to Mt. Hood on HWY 26 whose marquee read ‘Thanks US Bank.’ Call me a dick but I thought it was comical.
