Message:: [QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 477178, member: 78"]Hi,  I remember one thrift store with pure unadulterated nastiness. I had been going to the store twice a week for months. I was always picking up glassware and china. One day I looked at the floor in the back where they sold furniture. There was a really wonderful 3 ft by 5 ft Oriental rug. I asked the  manager the price. He told me it was not for sale. I said I thought all of this stuff was for sale. He said no, the rug made a lot of small tables look good. Okay, I see. Two weeks later he was transferred to a different store. A week later I was in the store and noticed the rug was gone. I asked the new manager about the rug and she said it was pretty dirty so she had the guys cut it up and toss it in the trash. I was willing to pay 200 bucks for the rug. The store closed about two months later. The new manager raised all of the prices of even the cheap stuff so high that no one bought there anymore. The poor people who used to get clothes for a buck where now asked to pay 10 to 15 dollars. When I was buying there if something was 25 cents I always paid at a buck.greg[/QUOTE]
