      8/28/2023: Valley thrift store has changed its method of offering percentage savings without distributing complete info to help customers. They now offer color code that is different each day that you may find posted on entrance door. It does not state, however, what percentage is attached to each color and on which day it applies. A tag on 1st pair of shoes read $13.99 with a "blue" tag on the label. This pair received a 50% discount. Second pair of shoes (again reading a blue color) was offered no discount (charged full price of $28.99). I spoke to a manager next day and was told the actual they used was listed on the bottom of the receipt (no discount applied on that day). How can a customer know that if they don't distribute info such as: on day (Monday, Tue, Wed, etc. - tab - color code (color) applies and will receive - tab (percentage off listed price. Customers deserve to be treated decently and fairly. I live on a Social Security income and cannot afford this inconsiderate treatment.

      They raise some of their prices when sale prices are to take effect. They charge more sometimes than the items originally cost. I strongly feel that many items are being skimmed from the lots of goods before they are ever presented on the store shelves as it is more profitable for them to sell them elsewhere.I do not fault them for trying to make a buck. However, I do feel that their actions, though legal, are lacking in ethics and morality. It would also be nice if they hired folks who spoke English as it is sometimes a challenge to communicate with some of their staff members.I have nothing else to say except that I now visit the store 2-3 times a week rather than daily as I once did. Valley Thrift's business practices will put me on the garage sale circuit again this summer.Such is life in the bullrushes!
