Went with a friend to check it out. Found some great finds, but left a lot of them there due to the high prices, this was disappointing. Great spot all the same and still there was some good prices to find.

Went in for the first time today. Was immediately approached by a member of staff claiming I wasn't allowed to carry a bag inside the store. First time I've ever experienced this in any thrift store. The missions in Charlottetown has no issue with bags. I asked the lady why and she said they have had a few incidents. I reassured her i wasn't here to steal anything but she demanded my bag anyways. This would've been fine, but as I browsed the store I noticed that every other customer was able to carry their bag. I felt like the staff had judged me based on my appearance and it made the experience of shopping awkward. Why was I the only one asked to hand their bag over? I recommend in the future to either take all bags off customers or none. I did not feel welcome in this store.

My friend and I went in to check out the store today. Unfortunately we arrived just before they were closing so we didn't stay long. The staff didn't try to rush us at all but I've worked in retail so didn't want to hold them up. Very clean and well stocked. Will definitely be back!

Update Sept 1: I emailed the company Aug 20 and have still yet to receive a response.

My 20yr old daughter went to missions in Summerside yesterday before she flew home today. She found a purse she liked but when opening it to see the inside the tag got stuck and came off. It was marked $6 and a blue tag so 50% off. She put it on the counter with the tag on top and explained it had just come off to the younger cashier. She said she would ask the other staff. This miserable woman snatched it up and tossed it aggresively in the bin behind her and snarkly said "no tag, no purchase." My daughter said she would pay full price for it and she just kept aggresively shaking her head nope, nope, company policy and now we have to send it off to get repriced. She asked how long that would take and she said we'll maybe tomorrow, maybe some other day. They went to salvation army later where they were greeted with kindness, a free hot dog and a drink.

After reading more reviews it seems this horrific behaviour by the staff is a common occurrence and needs to be dealt with immediately.

If I could give zero stars I would. Tonight my mother and I had the worst customer service ever. The manager followed us around multiple isles in the way of us shopping. When we finished shopping, the two closing staff at the cash registers were the worst staff I've ever experienced; they talked about their manager behind their back, they were very pushy and rude to us for bringing our clothing up at 5pm and made a point to say they called it over the intercom three times (15 min before, 10min before, and 5) that the store will be closing... When infact they did not, we only heard the last one for "store is closing in five minutes."
After my cashier checked out all my items, she noticed she hadn't turned her machine on. She had no common decency to say maybe, "oh sorry I just noticed my registers down, could you come down to this one here please?" No, instead she she was anoyed "ugh! I didn't turn on my register" and didn't look at me at all or speak towards me she picked up the pile of clothing I was purchasing and walked three or four registers down, leaving me, the customer, just standing there. The two workers at the cash were either gossiping the whole time we were there, or not so subtly judging us and being rude. Me and my mother will never be going back to the Mission store in Summerside. The staff are impolite, rude, nasty gossipers, with no common decency or courtesy from what we experienced this evening. Definitely not a religious store.

Every single CD in this place is $5 pretty ridiculous for 2025
