The only however I have is the older lady behind the counter has horrible customer service and when I came to donate, she was extremely rude and my sister-in-law heard her talk about me behind my back once I left the room. I know others have complained about her customer service. They should have her in the back room going through items rather than out front. There were five of us, ladies in all, and she was so extremely rude that we did not purchase anything there because we couldn't stand to be in her presence.

They had a fair amount of various pet supplies, plus some older furniture outside too. I left with a 100+ year old first printing book (that if nothing else, will look adorable on my shelf with its vining floral cover), a handmade peach doily, a See's candy bar (they sell them as a fundraiser, and boy was I pleased to find the dark chocolate nougat!), plus a couple patty pan squash that one of the sweet employees grew herself and was giving away. Totally charming spot and worth a gander.

They have a cute and unique selection for cards and pretty much everything else in a general sense. I was out the door and made sure the card got where it needed to go. It was a good guess that they'd have what I was looking for here and I hope to return in the mode of a leisurely pace to really enjoy the merchandise here.

I've been consigning and shopping here since I moved to Oregon in 1995. It's so much fun to get a…read moregood deal and at the same time get rid of clothes you no longer want - and make a few bucks. I was sorry to see the old management go and learn they had fired all personnel, but I also understand that they had a different business plan, and sometimes this sort of thing is needed to make a fresh start with new policies. I've mostly been happy when consigning although sometimes the low price they place on a Pendleton or Clarks item I've consigned blows my mind and I try not to get upset. I've mostly been pretty satisfied with the amount of items they accept from me to consign (I'd say they accept at least 80% of what I've brought in), but the last time, I brought in over 30 items, most new but without tags, and they didn't accept one single item! One has to consider their current stock and think maybe they already have something like you brought in, and they didn't take? But I was bummed as I am an old lady and had to schlepp my stuff to my car from my apartment and then into the store, and then the reverse. I'm sorry to hear of the many complaints about employee attitudes here. That has not been my experience in the least! I'm always asked if I need assistance and they scramble to help me find things that are going past their consign-by date (when they would ordinarily go on sale or get donated), when I want to rescue something from them that I've consigned. I DO like to shop the discounted items in each section and appreciate how they put them on the end of each section, so I can walk down the main aisle and peruse them. These items (priced according to the current % off color that hangs from the ceiling) used to be sprinkled throughout the store and not kept together in each section, so for us bargain shoppers, this is a fantastic way to shop!

When shopping in the men's section, which isn't very large, I found multiple opportunities to improve thrifting for the customer. Parking was easy. 1. Remove all the empty hangers. 2. Sort by size and type of shirt. 3. I would charge one price for all the T-shirts and skip staple prices on them . 4. Encourage staff to button the top button on dress shirts to reduce the number of shirts ending up on the floor. If you know your brands and prices, you can do quite well here with a little bit of digging. As long as it continues to look kind of junky, it will keep the prices lower, so I guess that's not necessarily a bad thing, right!?

This store sure doesn't look like much, either from the exterior or interior, but after living in…read morethe area about a year, and numerous visits, I have to say it is one of my favorite McMinville thrift shops. This is a smaller store and organizing is clumsy, but I have found some great stuff. Mac is tops for vintage dishes, decor, books...really anything your grandparents would have, or what you would expect to find at an estate sale, and that remains true for St. Vinny's. Some of my favorite finds: a vintage wool Pendleton button up, malachite dish, framed embroidery, like-new coffee maker, and various rain jackets and muck boots sourced for guests unprepared for pnw weather. I also almost always can find a variety of mason jars here. DVDs are $1 (as compared to Goodwill's $2.99), and they have a very large selection, books too, especially considering their demure size. Prices are stapled to clothing. I don't like it, but I have nabbed several nicer shirts and sweaters for my husband around $5 each, and he sure doesn't care about a staple hole if one occurs. I think clothes can be surprisingly good here, if only because the selection appears so lame and people discount the possibility of finding anything good. There is a bit of furniture, a lot of small kitchen appliances, a great little craft section, even a place for pet supplies. Again, I think it just looks like you won't find anything, so treasures are hidden here because no one hunts for 'em! As a bonus, prices are some of the lowest of our area thrift stores and definitely less than Goodwill.

I'm a little hesitant to share the awesomeness of this Goodwill as I am afraid others will get all…read morethe good stuff before me! But thrift stores are meant to be shared, so I must. There is the loveliest employee who always seems to be stocking the shelves. She comments on the treasures I've discovered, and has even shared cute stuff that she's just setting out. On a recent visit, when she saw my cart overflowing with mason jars, she mentioned I could ask for a box at checkout in which to take them all home. Then a second later she said, "actually, I'll go grab one and then you can just fill it up right in your cart!" I know it's a little thing, but it was much appreciated, and she certainly didn't have to do that. She's the best! Beyond that, this is THE PLACE for antique dishes and tableware. I seriously could easily buy twenty pieces every time I visit, only stopping due to my already existing and steadily growing collection. I've found a case of fantastic silver plate flatware, perfect little teacup and saucer sets, and vintage puppy statuettes. There seem to be many nice handmade pottery pieces, bronze and silverplate goodies, and really just anything you could hope to find kitchen-wise. I also bought an armchair for $1.99. Yes really. And it looks like new and is the most perfect shade of green. They only have a little space for furniture, but it is different every time, so always worth checking out, and always crazy cheap. The DVD selection is pretty great (I moved to the country and we have satellite internet with a data cap, so no streaming and I'm suddenly very I'm into DVDs again, haha!). Same goes for books. If you're searching for clothing or shoes this location, at least for me, is not the best, though decent. That's about the only negative I can give, and who cares with all the other epic treasures waiting to be discovered?

I know they have trucks in the back, but seriously should put more furniture and fabrics, pillows and blankets out there!!
