A Wonderful Find at St. Anthony's Thrift Store!…read more Oh my goodness! I visited St. Anthony's thrift store, and I was so excited to discover some beautiful Waterford crystal pieces. I've always loved Waterford crystal, but nowadays, it can be difficult to find certain pieces in regular retail stores. Some styles are no longer being made, so finding them is like discovering a little treasure! Waterford crystal can be quite expensive at regular retail prices, but shopping at a thrift store gives you the chance to find these beautiful pieces at a more affordable price. Since some pieces are discontinued, you may only find them in antique shops or thrift stores, and you never know what treasures you might discover. I was happy to find several Waterford crystal pieces at St. Anthony's. They are beautiful, timeless, and worth looking for if you appreciate fine crystal. What made my visit even better was the customer service. The cashier was very friendly, patient, and welcoming. She greeted me when I came in, and I immediately felt comfortable shopping there. I could feel her positive energy through the way she spoke to me and offered her help. She was understanding, helpful, and genuinely pleasant. Sometimes, it's not just about what you find while shopping. It's also about how people make you feel. A friendly greeting, patience, and a welcoming attitude can make such a difference! Thank you, St. Anthony's, for the beautiful finds and the wonderful customer service. I will definitely appreciate these special treasures even more!

I wear layered clothing or leggings and a slim fitting top. The store is well organized and sections are clearly marked. As with many thrift stores there are different colors marked down every day please listen for the announcements or check the board. I would recommend grabbing a cart because last time I went I found quite a bit and was carrying around my treasures. As with thrifting you never know what you are going to discover. The last time I went I came out with two fantastic finds one a H&M black cotton dress suitable for work wear and take you straight into evening or happy hour. The ruffle tiered dress I admit I paid more than I wanted to but Google came to the rescue and I saw several original retail prices and I found it over $ 100.00 brand new so I decided to splurge and purchase the dress. Service I can't comment on because I usually don't ask for help and there is self checkout available. But I don't know if my last encounter with customer service I should be flattered or insulted. I was checking out my items and the lady that was working at the front thought I was stealing my OWN jacket that I came in wearing! I said this jacket is mine check the cameras I was wearing it when I came in here! All in all a great thrift store but give yourself time because there is so much to look at. I find if I give myself time I find more treasures rather than just rushing through. Also, keep your finds close at hand with the case of the orange ruffle dress after people saw me put it on they were asking if I was going to purchase it while I was trying it on! There were people definitely waiting for me to put it down. Good Luck and Happy thrifting

The supervisor, Ida, was incredibly rude on Saturday afternoon. The prices here are already a bit…read morehigh, so customer service really matters. Why would I want to come back when a supervisor literally takes an item out of your hand just because you ask if they can price it? It was a small tin can, and while I've been told before that this is their policy, I decided to give them the benefit of the doubt and ask anyway because it was such a small item. On top of that, she was shouting at customers, directing them to use self-checkout. The entire experience was unpleasant and unwelcoming. I don't expect exceptional customer service at a thrift store, but I do expect basic courtesy and respect. There's a difference between limited customer service and staff who make customers feel like an inconvenience. After this experience, I won't be coming back.

Since…read moreit opened I've invested in a some nice vintage pieces priced somewhere between thrift stores and Etsy. Something that happened on my last visit left me unsettled. It was a Sunday, and the manager I usually have a nice chat with wasn't there. I browsed around and found a good older Lands End barn jacket for $55. Unfortunately it was missing one of its logo buttons in the back flap, making the $55 seem kind of high. I took it to the counter to discuss. The staff member present that day pointed to the "no negotiations" sign next to the counter, and said that damaged goods like the coat would have been put in the garbage. I begged to buy it for $55 just to rescue the poor thing, just like I did with my shelter dog. Seriously brought up the stories of the Great Depression when big corporate farms dumped good produce and milk into the ground, rather than feed the hungry, in a move to fix pricing. Also, my 81 year old mum resigned from her volunteer position at a local church-run charity shop because they were throwing away perfectly good vintage clothing just because of some small flaw. Truly, if the manager of this shop wants to reassure me that this ISN'T store policy, it would make me more comfortable to come back and shop again.

Help fund a much-needed new building for Berkeley Humane (5/5 Green Stars)…read moreIn early November, the Berkeley Humane opened a second thrift store - right here in the Elmwood! I was already a fan of the Solano store - I think it's one of the nicest thrift shops in Berkeley. This branch is smaller but it's really focused on the nicest things, arranged beautifully. If you've never wandered into a thrift store and have reservations about going in, then start right here. Many items are brand new, with tags still attached, and I think the prices are reasonable, considering this. A large portion of the clothes are women's (although that hasn't stopped me shopping for a winter jacket) but there is also a small men's section behind the changing room. Check out the cool collection of Christmas ornaments, right now! 100% of proceeds benefit the Berkeley Humane nonprofit - particularly to help fund a new building that they need after a fire in 2010 destroyed a large part of their building on 9th and Carlton. As you may know, back in the 1970s, the BH made a commitment that no healthy or treatable shelter animals in the Society's care would be euthanized. It's amazing that the BH got started almost 120 years ago - in 1905, the Berkeley branch of the SPCA was set up with a mission to improve conditions at the "pound" (which were reportedly not good at the time). The current facility on 9th and Carlton was acquired all the way back in 1933. The new building will be named the Bay Area Animal Resource Center (BAARC), and will include a veterinary medical hospital and adoption center and will include more services for people with pets who might be in need of a little extra support. It will feature significantly enlarged space for cat adoptions, including several "catios" that will provide felines with natural light and fresh air. Berkeley Humane is a private non-profit organization that does not receive government funding, so community support is essential to its mission. I'm giving the Berkeley Humane Thrift shop 5/5 Green Stars for social and environmental impact. This takes very little explaining. Buying clothes and other items from thrift shops is one of the best ways to reduce your environmental footprint and improve your social impact. You are avoiding the production of new materials, with all problems of the fast-fashion-driven textile industry. At the same time you are supporting a nonprofit that has taken care of local neglected or abandoned animals for more than a century. This year, Berkeley Humane will have over $400,000 in expenses to medically prepare over 1,000 animals for adoption. Your support will save lives.

They arranged shipping and promised to have the item here by the end of June. I just spoke to the shipper they hired, who could not even find the shipment on his inventory and then vaguely promised to deliver in mid-July This had been the single most unprofessional and disorganized mess of a customer experience I can remember over the last decade.
