Thrift store
😠 I have been Opp shopping for 30+ years. Worse service in this time. TOTAL INCONSISTENCY by the same staff member (apparant manager). Two days ago, I was welcomed upon entry, browsed & bought several items. Today I was refused entry because I would not hand sanitise. I explained only a couple of min...

Salvos Caloundra Family Store
Thrift store
🫤 Nice looking store but the prices on everything are shockingly high. Jewellery, bags, shoes, clothing so overpriced. Everything should be halved, then maybe we wouldn't walk away empty handed. This store was so much better before it moved positions.

Thrift store
😠 Hands down the most obscenely overpriced op shop in South-East Queensland. Their prices make antique stores seem like your local dollar shop. The only explanation I can come up with is that the volunteers intentionally overprice the stock to avoid selling anything and then having to restock.

Save the Children Op Shop - Bateau Bay

😠 Overpriced rubbish. Be warned, this is no longer a charity, it's a money maker. Some items more than the price of new. Store manager is so rude and reported to head office.

Vinnies Gawler

😠 Sorry this store is way over priced for a charity shop. A kids wrap was $5 and that’s how much it is for a brand new one. A pair of second hand shoes $25.00 Not nice at all. I will be holding a protest to all who donate here to go to united church to donate or animal welfare as they are much better...

Anglicare Op Shops - Katoomba
Thrift store
😐 Shop was closed on 21/10/23 due to relocating to another place. Tiny shop not far to walk from train station. Most products are clothes. Prices are surprisingly high. I rather buy new stuffs from other shops when they are on sale.

Save the Children Op Shop - Five Dock

😠 This is a lovely little shop, with polite staff. Unfortunately their pricing is profits before people. (Complaints side lined, with its for the children). This results in slow turn over and people walking straight out, never to return. I paid $25 for second hand jkt to find when I got home it was mi...

😠 Our favorite Op shop in Warwick if all the others were to close down. With only a limited amount of stock and the front counter lady having all the warmth of a turned off solarium, you are best to head to Vinnies in Grafton street, the actual best by far.

😠 This specific Salvation Army bears impressive abilities and savviness in the field of business.

😠 Unfriendly and unpleasant woman at the store with zero customer relations skills, when my wife and I visited on 28 July 2022! I know they are volunteers but surely you can smile and greet people when they enter! Ignored my greeting to her of 'Hello' and instead looked at us with suspicion as if we w...
