There's been a lot of talk about Trosa Thrift store around town lately. I've seen it all over…read moresocial media so a friend and I decided to check it out on a Friday afternoon. Trosa is located on Peters Creek Hwy in the Food Lion strip center at the Clemmonsville exit. It's easy to get to and there's plenty of parking which I love. Right inside the door is their whole furniture section, they have tons of tables, chairs, dressers , etc. they even have a whole section of office specific furniture. The prices are very reasonable. This would be a furniture flippers paradise. Towards the back they have shelves of everything from pillows to whole sets of dishes, sports equipment and the most medical mobility equipment I've ever seen anywhere. I'd say, if you are in need of a walker, a bath seat or portable toilet for someone look here because they probably have it at a fraction of the cost it would be to purchase new or rent. The clothing is grouped all together but they aren't keeping it organized as well as it needs to be. All different sizes were mixed in together and I quickly got frustrated and gave up. Both of us had found an item in the kitchen area we wanted so we headed to check out. The workers were very friendly as well. I'll definitely be checking out Trosa regularly in the future. Trosa supports substance abuse treatment. If you want to donate to them, they offer pick up for larger items or you can bring your items to their donation drop off around the back of the store. Just follow the signs.

But I had an experience recently that--while I thought it was kind of funny in a weird way--most people would be offended. A big ol' gal stocking drinks in the cooler (I don't think she was a FDDT employee; I think she just went around stocking drinks for some soda company) was talking to the FDDT employee in one of those big ol' gal loud voices. So loud that I was grateful we weren't near a cemetery because that voice could wake the dead. Anyway. She was (loudly) telling the employee this story about how she found out her parents were swingers...and exactly how she found out. I was literally standing in the first aisle and the cooler is on the last aisle of the store and I could hear every word. I thought it was funny in a gross sort of way, but I doubt one of these little ol' lady Sunday school teachers would feel the same, and this place is just lousy with little ol' lady Sunday school teachers. So I got my shopping done and decided to get a drink. But the big ol' gal and the employee were blocking the part of the cooler that has the drink I wanted. I waited a few moments while she kept running her head about her trashy family. When I saw she wasn't going to shut up, I politely said "Excuse me, just need to grab a drink". The employee immediately stepped back and apologized (he wasn't even in the way) but the big ol' gal got all bowed up and said "ARE YOU SERIOUS??" The whole thing was so stupid that I answered, "Nope. Not really", and started laughing. Her eyes got all wide and googly, but I turned around before she could say anything else and laughed all the way to the register. The employee--a soft-spoken meek little guy with glasses, was apologetic, even though he didn't do anything wrong, except maybe encourage that woman to go on and on about her trashy swinger family. I mean, it isn't a huge deal, but I would like to go on record that I never did get that drink.

I have never seen a company as crooked has the way dollar general is. They must think they are above everyone and not afraid to screw everyone out of their hard earned money. Just so sad. There day will come when enough people will have had enough and there will be all the empty building out in the middle of the country everywhere. Where the trees will grow up and they will be hidden and all forgotten about.

If you are looking to have something annealed by these folks, make sure it is completely flat otherwise the product will look bad. I had two axes done for a wedding, one was a complete hot mess and the other was half of my idea but passable. In the future i will look for better craftsmanship. If i was the craftsman i would have never let a product out of my shop looking like this and by no means would i have charged for it if i did. In the future i will not be using these guys for my products and if i were you i would try another vendor if you have a choice.
