I am not a HUGE fan of this Salvation Army location compared to the one off of 321 in Granite Falls and the one up in Hickory off of LR blvd. During my last visit, I found the employees less than helpful. Typically what I expect when I visit a Salvation Army store is good hearted vibes, not "I want to rip you off and take all of your money" vibes. I'm referring to a picture I took to the counter which had 3 different prices on it... Of course, the woman behind the counter didn't give me a second to talk and say "Hey, this picture is a little scratched up... Could it possibly be sold for the lower price point?" She immediately gave me the highest price. I get it's not a store to be trying to lowball people, but it's a thrift store for crying out loud- you probably aren't going to sell that picture for that price anyways, and the only reason why I picked it up is because I was going to "renew" it myself. It wasn't worth the price in the condition it was in, so I told her never mind. Walking around the actual store, everything just seemed so old. Some of the antiques were pretty cool, but other things- were actually insanely old and should have just been thrown in the dumpster. Broken frames and furniture, clothing with pet hair etc. To top it all off, most of the prices are ridiculous. $30 for a USED lamp?! The only thing that helps the case is that they have a color of the week which designates certain items half off. Still, a used lamp for $15 isn't worth it when I can buy a brand new one at Ross or somewhere for $9.99. It's a hit or miss here I suppose, I will stop back by to see every now and then. I did find one thing worth the money and it was a small porcelain dish for 50 cents (half off/blue sticker.) That's it though. read more
