Best Stores Near Elgin, IL

Very clean and organized. Clothes are seemingly clean (i.e. not soiled or noticably stained, no detectable smells). Items are well organized and grouped together for ease of shopping. Prices were mostly average with some being rather high for thrift. There is a designer rack which is rather subjective as to what one would classify as 'designer'-Aeropostale is not designer in my opinion. Each week there is a sale on different colored tags. The downside is that the staff on the day I went was pretty rude, or maybe just indifferent. There were a few volunteers and/or staff in the store, they all looked up as I walked through the door and the bell jingled, but not one uttered a friendly "hello" or "hi". Same thing when checking out, not a "thank you" was uttered. In fact the only words spoken were the total amount of my purchases. This may not be a huge deal to some, but for a Christian based "business" this is rather unkind. I know children that have better manners than were displayed here. I will go back because it is convenient and benefits a good cause, but it would be nice if the staff/volunteers would improve on their people skills. (Read More)
