Island Thrift

I go to this store frequently. sometimes I come out empty handed - sometimes I come out with lots of Treasures. Most things turn over quite frequently - a lot of stuff gets donated - mostly because it is a military community - that said -- a lot of stuff gets donated because of moves. I like this shop because it serves the community -- and the community shops here. If you are looking for designer things to resell - this is NOT the place for you, but if you are looking for solid stuff that is useable and in good condition I highly recommend this store.

A LOT of junk. I visit several thrift stores, in other words, I'm not a newbie but this place is always a mess and most of the stuff looks like it belongs in the trash can. Once in a while I find something but most of the time I walk out empty handed.

Employees are much more friendlier than waif, they aren't gross and they don't smell like cat. Huge selection and the employees seem to work their asses off to keep the store running and in good shape.

prices seem high, place smells bad.

Okay, I'm going to be honest- my MAIN reason for cruising thrift stores is to look for things to sell on eBay. This is my favorite thrift store on the island and I try to hit it at least once a week. Nicely organized, good prices- compared to others, and a reasonable turn-over of stock. I find some really nice items that don't have, "eBay's price-Our price" paperwork placed on them- which is a pet peeve of mine- because they usually are the seller's "Asking price" and not the "Sold for" price. :-P

love this place!

Today at Island Thrift I witnessed an employee doing her job in asking a customer for identification. When the customers became angry about showing her identification, the employee informed her that it was store policy, which caused the customer to rant and rave for a manager. When the manager came she too informed the customer of the policy which caused the customer to become more irritated. The customer said she had some type of paper which proved her identity however your policy is a photo ID. Long story short the manager lets the woman make the purchase, at this time the customer began to curse out the woman behind the counter as the manager watched. The cashier was doing her job, however she had no backing from the manager. I was next in line and gave the cashier my apology for how she was treated then left. Not sure what happened after I left but it needs to be taken care of. Someone should apologize to the cashier and if you have a policy the management should back the employees when they do their jobs. I have been in similar situations and policy needs to be followed from the floor to the main office. I was appalled at how the cashier was treated as so should whoever the manager was.

Love this shop. large, well organized. Have found some real treasures, good household items and lots of good clothes - all at very good prices. a true thrift shop which supports the community very well!

really neat and clean I think not

This place has everything. It's fantastic!

This store is always neat and clean and very well organized. I go there looking for yarn at least once a week and find big discrepencies in pricing tho.

Love this shop. I stop by at least once a week!!
