The Official Thrift / Discount Store Bragging Thread Part III (Sept 2018-)

[JamesJohn]

@impuntura He did clarify after that he condones that kind of hoarding. The whole point of doing that is to stop the other people from even SEEING if there was anything good in that section.

 

[rokor]

You did miss his point because you can NOT try clothes on in any stores now,so they are just hoarding and looking through to resell

I haven't noticed, I just try on things in front of the mirrors all around. Regardless, didn't you not long ago admit to doing the same thing with ties? I don't see the issue, of course it's going to be annoying but they beat you to the punch my guy. It sucks but you're not always going to be the first one to grab something.

@rokor he didn’t admit doing that with ties at all. The guy said he took all the good ties. That doesn’t mean he took every single tie off the rack into a cart and went to a corner to sort through them. That’s what we’re talking about here.

 

[rokor]

@JamesJohn I understand your frustration. I used to enjoy going through every single item in the store and end up spending half the day at only 2 or 3 shops but I never tried too hard to get the newest things from the back like the sharks awaiting feeding.

 

[rokor]

Guys I get the picture haha, grabbing handfuls of things off the racks and putting them into a shopping cart not knowing what you have until you put it into your personal little corner, I know it's annoying but it happens and there's not much to be done about it unless you're the type for confrontation.

Yeah I bought all of them ,the 20 I grabbed .I didn't grab the whole rack.
It's not annoying till it happens to you I guess.

Lol. Not quite. I'm always on the lookout for a pair of those boots, though!

Thrifting has been abysmal in the area that I live. I have gone out most days but have been finding nothing every time. I’ve even run into some teens that throw every single item into their cart, just so you can’t look through the rack. They then go to a corner and look through the stuff.

If someone needs to do that, they need the money more than you. Sometimes it's not worth dealing with that BS.

Otherwise, you'd be saying,

"I decked this kid in the face for Vicuna. Worth it".

I'd still applaud you!
