Recently, I drove to the La Mesa store with a car full of donations during a very heavy rainstorm. I pulled up to the marked donation drop-off door but was told I could not park there and needed to move across the lot, get a cart, and bring everything in myself. I explained that i was not parking, I am handicapped and offloading since it was pouring rain, but was still told no. I ended up leaving without donating or shopping. As a loyal supporter of FJV, I was very disappointed by the lack of understanding and outright rudness.

The quality of the items is impressive, and the store is well organized, which makes browsing enjoyable. That said, the pricing feels more like a boutique than a thrift store. While I understand that proceeds go toward a good cause, I often leave empty‑handed because the prices are just too high for what I'd expect at a thrift. For me, part of the joy of thrifting is finding something wonderful and feeling like I scored a bargain -- not like I overpaid. If you don't mind paying a lot more, you'll likely find unique and quality pieces here. But if you're hunting for that classic thrift‑store bargain, be prepared that prices may not match the typical thrifting experience.

Example: Sized Large and in the wrong section, and then it's actually a size small according to internal tag. This has forced me to check every tag when I shop here and it's extremely frustrating. Staff is usually nice. But I had a crazy situation happen and I feel uncomfortable about it. I always hook my keys on my finger. I went to pay and had them under my clothes to pay. I set them on the counter. I walked about 10 feet away for a sec to hang something I no longer wanted back up so the cashier didn't have to. I came back to pay, went to walk to my car, realized my keys weren't there. Thinking the most rational thought, I'd left on the counter, or they fell, I didn't see them anywhere. I asked the manager to check where they were. She said I never took them off my finger, WHICH IS NOT THE TRUth...and was insisting that I'd dropped them outside. I didn't. It's day time. She them told me "this stuff been happening a lot." If people are losing items like this out of nowhere, it's time to investigate your staff. This makes no sense. I then had to uber home to grab new keys, and hope my car and items in it would still be there. I'm not accusing anyone directly. This was very bizarre and the behavior of the management didn't sit well with me.

Literally, yesterday I was hiking Blackett's Ridge Mountain. It was 70° perfect sun. Then it took a turn at about 2:00 p.m. And it poured for about 22 minutes! I will never be hiking without a raincoat again. Amazon, Columbia etc. is way too overpriced for a raincoat. I've already sent back three. But I stopped by today at Womanhaven. I purchased a raincoat with seams ultralight weight, two inside and 2 outer, pockets, all drawstring mesh lining for only $2.42. Some deals cannot be passed up. Who cares there's a logo on the side, I just don't want to be soaking wet. Customer service was outstanding The selection of items are met, but you may find the exact one thing you're looking for. If I was just doing general thrift store shopping it might be a toss-up if I would come here. But I also live 2 hours away. Happy shopping!

I absolutely know that used items have already been taxed, donated back, so no tax is added to the sale, but she insisted that it got taxed. What's the most insulting, is making it seem like I did not know what I was talking about and being a major jerk about the entire transaction. This is place is supposed to support women, but I felt disrespected, belittled, and ripped off. If that's the kind of treatment I am going to receive coming to shop there, I will just shop elsewhere.
