I had not been to this store since the pandemic. The place has a mixture of unusual gifts, tchotchkes, salvaged items and regular items carried by other gift stores. The prices are reasonable and one can always find something or the other.
Do be aware that they have started charging a fee for credit card purchases. This has never been the case when I shopped here before. Also, the salesperson who rang up my items wanted to know if I wanted a receipt, because if he gave me a receipt he would have to charge tax. When I asked him if he was asking me if I wanted to make a purchase "under the table" so to speak, he said yes. I mentioned it is the law to charge tax. He shrugged and said, but we are helping you.
I had just shopped at the Wren's Den in Marcellus, where I was not penalized for using a credit card for my purchases or any shenanigans regarding sales tax.
I found my experience at Sweet Salvage today (4/14/23) disturbing. I am not sure if I will be going back, knowing this is how they are conducting their business.
For this reason I am giving them a one star rating. read more
