#the bin #well whatevs #this place is horrible to work at. the peopel ae really nice but its a depressing place to work #idk. i love thrift stroes and ive never likes the big chain ones bc they suck and you can hardly ever find interesting stuff there #and its bc they throw it all away. goodwill puts out more interesting stuff but savers/value village/unique (theyre all the same thing) #tosses so much stuff. they like to tout how much they recycle but they dont tell you that what that means is they sell it elsewhere bc #they doubt itll sell in store. or its stuff that didnt sell in store so its packed up to get sold elsewhere #the cloth thats damaged and unsellable i think gets actually recycled. maybe. i dont work in cloth so idk for sure #but like. pretty much everything else that doenst make onto the floor doenst even get recycled to be sold elsewhere #they just put it in a trash compactor at the store. and like big items or dishes and board games are all thrown away too #theres not any attempt to actually recycle anything besides clothes. everything else is jusy garage #perfectly good mugs. not chipled or damged. but theyre just a plain color. all tossed. toys too big to fit into a box that were on the floor #being sold but didnt sell fast enough. tossed. and everything is so expensive too. ugh #and they get all this stuff for so cheap. people donate bc they think its supporting a nonprofit partner but they pay barely anytning to #them. they are only lartnered to convince peopel to donate so they can get stuff for cheap #very depressing place to work bc they just deceive people so much in order to get them to donate #people wanna support it bc its good for the environment and they act pike they care so much but then they make 0 effort to actually #recycle anything besides cloth. feels bad man. most other thrift stores arent such lying assholes #like. idk. i walk into other thrift stores and i feel likes theres an honesty about the process behind the prodict being sold #but here they try make it seem like theyre doing so much for the environment bc they just care so much #no. you only care about making money which is why you sell things for so fucking much
