She also had a cloth bag loaded with items which I could not completely see. However, at the top of this bag was a set of sheets still in original store packaging. She brought both of these items behind the front checkout counter. The man who was operating the checkout told her to "just go ahead and take them." She left the store with both bags without paying for them. Then came back into the store to work. This is the second time I have seen these so-called volunteers take items that were donated to the needy community of Hale. I no longer donate to this place. Some of the workers there are thieves.

I'm originally from south eastern Michigan where thrift stores are everywhere and are often…read moremerchandised like a standard department store with thrifty items... The stores up north however are hard to come by... There are not as many and their inventory is lacking due to being in a less populated area... It is funny to see how the stock and type of stuff varies so much in different parts of the state. This thrift store is the best one that I have found in Northern Michigan not only is it extremely spacious... The store itself is extremely organized, and you can tell that the owners and staff take great pride in merchandising their product in a way that is easy to shop and thoughtfully placed. I found it incredible how this business is operating I went today for the first time and it is senior day so the deals are very deep and the line is wrapped around the building! It seems like this building was once a mom and pop shop style department store because there are various rooms that organize each department even still with it being a thrift store this location have less furniture and clothing but all the other items are in great supply. Ifound a few great deals and left knowing that I will be back I highly recommend this store if you are into Thrifting and looking for a gift or even a vintage find.

Overall a great shopping experience.

Love the fact the place is operated by volunteers and the funds collected go to helping people in need , like with utility bills or food, etc. It's a community working together that keeps the good spirit alive. I love this place and shop there as well as donate a lot of stuff every year too. So much better to know things are being put to good use by others rather than good usable items going into the trash. Thanks St Vincent's for doing what you do and providing a comforting place to shop. I wish your store was much larger and filled to the maximum. I'd be there every day for sure.

Easy to miss but DONT. This is an incredibly organized merchandised and clean building. The staff is so warm and sweet, small talk at check out was so natural and positive. Soft lines (apparel, footwear, linens, pillow) is on the right side. The middle section that connects the two buildings was the fragile items.. glassware, candles, glass home decor. Then the left side was everything else! Everything is so well laid out which isn't the typical for a thrift store. The furniture is all in great shape and priced to value. Seems they filter donations in a way. Tons of Disney movies and outdoor sports gear... clothing was blanket priced (I.E. all ladies tops $2 all men's pants $3 for example) unless otherwise signed or marked. Got some great stuff today!

I would like to give a shout out of appreciation to Amy at Prudentville St Vincent DePaul for…read moredeescalating a rather ugly confrontation by one of her employees. While dropping off a bag of donated garment, I was approached by a rude and obnoxious employee that insisted on yelling at me for dropping the bag in the wrong bin (an honest mistake). She insisted on being extremely combative with me even though I told her I wasn't sure where the proper drop off was supposed to be. She was extremely rude and had no remorse for her terrible attitude. I treat people with respect, and I would hope that someone in customer service would do the same, especially when someone is trying to donate to charity. I hope this employee eventually understands that a little kindness can go a long way. Again, thank you Amy for your help in settling an uncomfortable situation. Bob

Instead, Don gave me dirty looks. 15 minutes later when we left the store they finally remembered to put up their "no parking donations only" sign.

There is no way I'll be spending my earned loyalty cash with them. I was calm and nice and he tried to twist everything i said. I ended up crying because he was so horrible to me. Said I was name calling because I said a price was ridiculous. He very much gives off every sign of being a manipulative abuser. The way she acted shows me that he must not allow her to make any decisions or have any opinion or say anything for that matter. I went through years of abuse and he threw every red flag! I pray for her and hope he isn't way worse behind closed doors, but I bet he is! I have spent this year fighting cancer and I dont have a ton of money to spend so I have been going to thrift shops to try and get some nicer items for less money. I made a very larger purchase, over $400, trying to get Christmas gifts for my children and family members. There were a couple of items that my kids have shown me they wanted to get for others and I did not look at the prices BECAUSE the other items I had been looking at where prices okay. Items were higher than most stores but not crazy. We had seen a few high priced items but they were things that MADE sense to be a high price, like vintage items that were REAL. When the total came up, I just assumed I had gotten more items then I thought, that happens when thrifting. Turns out these people just throw whatever price they want and throw a few insane ones in there hoping someone like me will come along and be too distracted to noticed. When I got home, I found that two items where prices insanely high, like way out of line high. One was a USED pair of shoes, NORMAL chuck Taylor's. ALL of the other shoes I got where less than $10 so I had assumed they were in the same price range. They are worn and have sunbleached on them! But I was grabbing them because I thought they would be a good gift. Turns out this shop thinks they are worth $65! The guy said there is no way the other shoes are that cheap, I said let's go look at them. The first pair I grabbed was $25 but it was on the other side of the rack from where I had been shoping so I walked to the other side where I had been yesterday and pick up a pair I had tired on. It is $10. I bought a pair for $7, another pair for $10, a pair of heels for $10 and a BRAND NEW paid that I knew I was paying $60 because I had to ask when I couldn't find the price. But they are a special shoe for diabtics, which i am, so i went ahead anf got them for myself. When I tried to show him that, he claims I looked at 7 pairs of shoes before I found a cheap pair, which isn't true at all. I picked up 2 pairs, the first that was $25 and the second that was $10. He wouldn't walk over and look at the shoes, just said I was wrong.... (abuser). Then there is a motorcycle novelty knife that my son picked out for my husband. ALL of the other Harley items I grabbed were under $20, so again I missed the tag.... of $75. This knife is not worth anything like that. Online there is someone who hasn't even been able to sell it for $15. The lady tried to say that they confirm pricing with at least 5 online posting before they price an item, and I asked her to please show me what she found online because right now you can by the shoes brand new for $40-60 and the knife for $15 on ebay. This was before he stopped allowing her to talk. The man wouldn't allow her to do anything because he knew i would be right and he would be wrong which he CLEARLY can't handle. She was just starting at him and i begged her to please look at me. When she did and I tried to talk to her, he threw a huge fit and told her to look at him. Then started accusing me of saying something to her, I didnt. All I was asking was for them to make them a reasonable price! I wasnt even trying to return them. Hell I would have taken it as credit and shopped more but now I will never come here and I hope you will spend your money somewhere else as well. When I said I would write a review to make sure people know how I was treated, The owner told me that if I try to post a negative review, he will reply "nicely" and that everyone is going to agree with him and say i should have looked at the price tags. No matter what, charging that much over the cost of new/used is insane. ​
