Shmata Thrift Store - , Ontario

The store cashier was apparently in a bad mood. She was very rude to me this Saturday morning.
Today I went to make a purchase, and at checkout, I told the cashier if I asked to give her my phone number for points. The cashier, apparently in a bad mood, responded in a bad tone of voice and with rude gestures, saying that there were no points today. I still asked why? And she just said, "Why not …. and I don't know." She continued with her rude behavior.
I insisted on asking, but why not? And she responded in a rude tone: "I already told you, I don't know, and don't ask." My husband and I didn't want to argue with her. We remained silent, paid, and left. The problem isn't the points, it’s the staff. I really like going to your store, even though I live far away. Since they opened, I try to go every season and have never had this problem.

I just wanted to ask her. "Why do you come to work if you don't want to serve customers well?

I hope management investigates this. There are plenty of nice people looking for work."

When will I return? Sorry but Not for a long time. Hopping to find a new staff when I return!

Huge store with tons of bins of clothes. Men's, women's, children's and accessories. Bins are shallow enough that they're easy to go through and get to the bottom. I went through a lot of them and thought the selection is pretty good considering it's probably not curated, and the 5 lb minimum mentioned in previous reviews is gone it seems as I was able to buy about 2 lbs. It's just 6.99/lb now. I got 6 very cool items for $15. All the staff were friendly and helped by telling me about all the discounts I could get. Definitely coming back here again.

A Great Thrift Store during inflation. I was not able to find any brand-new items. They do have a huge selection of male-female clothes/shoes. Plus, You will see kids' toys and items of luggage. The per lb price is 4.99 CND. Everything is very clean and organized. I felt safe with my family during the covid times. The parking lot is huge but busy all the time. No trial room so bring a measuring tape or know what you really want. Recommended mainly for people who like thrifting. Good customer service.

wanted to check out this place before it got more well known and popular! the selection is a hit or miss (as it's not like a curated vintage thrift shop), they do have some hidden gems but you have to search a bit. note there is a 5lb minimum (they tare the weight of the cart so the pound only includes the clothes) but if you happen to find some stuff, you can easily pass the 5lb minimum. the bins are quite large and separated in categories (though sometimes people toss things into the adjacent bins) so most of the time you have a bin to search by yourself. i found a pair of Levi 501 jeans and some cute pieces for a very reasonable price. definitely set aside some time to look around because you can spend a lot of time digging! they also have huge mirrors for try on (no change rooms) and provide gloves and hand sanitizer in the front so make sure to grab some before searching.

note: they apparently restock Monday and Wednesdays so that would probably be the best time to go!

Me gusta mucho esta tienda! He conseguido ropa muy linda cada vez que voy, la recomiendo. La persona que está en caja a veces solo es muy seria, pero nunca ha sido mala ni grosera. :)!

First time here, found it through Tic Toc. They have lots of bins with new and old clothes mixed together. You will have to have time to go through each bin. My wife got 2 new track pants and 2 used ones too. She also picked up 2 hoodies and I got a dress shirt. It's pay by the pound, $4.99 a pound. For all the stuff we got, it cost just a little over $30. Can't beat that! The 2 new items we got was priced more than that. You got to Shop here!

This thrift by the pound is such a hidden gem! Found so many good stuff here and some items still had price tag. They have a great selection of adult clothing, children’s clothing, toys, bags, accessories, shoes and more. They have a minimum 5lbs purchase which wasn’t hard for me to fill since I found so many good stuff. The staff here are so friendly and accommodating. I still wanted to look around even though they’re technically closing. I was rushing to finish and they told me they can give me a few more minutes while they clean up.
