I worked at a thrift store. The amount of brainworms all those old volunteers have are incredible. “The right buyer will pay 20$ for this” SHARON WE HAVE TO THROW OUT THREE DUMPSTERS WORTH OF CLOTHES EVERY DAY BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH SPACE ON THE RACKS WE CANNOT HAVE THE 17TH GLASS JUG ON THE SHELVES FOR FUCKS SAKE
Not to mention that we have no way of contacting “the right buyer”. Clothes is one thing, but furniture, instruments, art, pottery, games, electronics, and everything else? Yeah you can make a living finding stuff like that and reselling it, but WE ARE A THRIFT STORE WE DO NOT HAVE THE CONTACTS NECESSARY TO DO THAT SO YOURE JUST WAITING AND HOPING FOR SOME RANDO TO WALK IN THE DOOR WILLING TO PAY 200$ FOR A COUCH BECAUSE GOOGLE TOLD YOU IT RETAILS FOR 1000$ I HAVE THROWN OUT 17 COUCHES TODAY FUCK OFF
I worked at a second-hand store attached to a garbage dump/recycling centre. The clothes we couldnt put on racks or sort through would just go to get torn to shreds in order to be reused as textiles. Depressed me a lot.
I think part of the deal of accepting donations to resell should be that you’re barely allowed to evaluate quality and pricing.
Thrift stores should have categorical prices. T shirts are $5, dress shirts are $8, shoes are $15, and so on. It doesn’t matter if the shirt is from Walmart or Gucci, a t shirt is $5.
Thrift stores increasing their prices due to people flipping stuff from them is so fucking depressing lol

Did y’all just throw clothes away in a dumpster right near you? That seems like a neat way to get clothes for very very cheap

There are whole computer programs for evaluating thrift quality and pricing.
The people who wrote those programs should go to prison
