Ties? They're straight forward once you know what to look for. 99% aren't worth the time once you zero in. I don't see the point of hoarding ties to sort later. Either you know what you're doing or you don't.

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.

And most simply don't. Nine times out of ten when I find a fantastic tie, it's not the only one on the rack!

i need to confess, one GW on my route does not have a rack, all the ties in piled into a storage bin. So i take my cart over and dump the ties into it, and then sort through putting them back into bin. in all the years doing this, only once did someone call me out on it, but we worked it out that we would each take a handful, sort through, and then pass to other person. neither one of us got anything.
and agree, the bins are the worst. people just grabbing everything and dumping it in cart to sort out at end of day.

I feel like a bin full of tie spaghetti is a reasonable excuse to use your method. Carry on.

CHARITY SHOPS OPEN BACK UP TOMORROW!
:fonz:

Well I had fun today, but not many finds to speak of unfortunately. Purp did us proud however! Nice to see the charity shops finally able to bring in some much-needed income. Loads of people were out and about. Even had to queue to get in some places!
