Full Review


This Salvation Army has nothing to do with being saved, or being in an army. Being saved should make people happy, and this place doesn't. This place is cramped, musty, and the people who worked here seem like they want to be saved from their job. My daughter was going to buy a coloring book, and some lady yelled at her for making a stack of books. I guess they don't like things being organized here. I constantly have to wait in line while the cashier has a conversation about nothing with one of the customers. The furniture is WAY overpriced, there are too many clothes, and the selection of home goods always seem like random crap that is never part of a full set. I've never seen a full set of plates, dishware, etc.

However, there are a FEW finds to be made. I've gotten a couple of cool mugs here, seen some neat retro clocks, and even the sparse metal box. If you're in the area, stop by. MAYBE you'll find something. Otherwise, its not worth the trip.

Everything is pretty cheap except for the overpriced furniture.

Treasures


I've never seen a "unique" got to have item here. Mostly worthless dishes and broken lamps

Service


I waited 4 minutes at check out while the cashier looked through cds. She wasn't sure what a "playstation" game was. She could have just let the customer do it.
