Salvation Army

Was recently at the store. Store has been painted and floor repaired by front door. I commented to the 2 women at the desk how nice the store looked. There was no response from them until I said to another customer""I guess they do not like comments.:"" \r they then responsed. There is no greetings coming in or leaving the store. Apparently the older rude volunteer is still there. She is well know for removing items from the store and selling to a local junk shop. The problem with the store is the volunteers of comm. service and parolies who lack manners dealing with customers. The Barre management seems to hire people with lack of knowledge with social graces. The racks are full with sub quality clothing.The hardware area is full with unsaleble items. Sales apparently have fallen. more

Could be a well run store in the right people returned to run it. High quality clothing is donated and some goes onto the floor but alot is going out the back door by a volunteer who is rude and has an atittude problem. This problem also exist with a former employee who recently returned to work after maternity leave.\r The store is over run with hardware items most not saleable. Much hardware is overpriced and what is good quality is over shadowed by misc items that bury it on the shelves.The store seems to have stopped putting out games and toys. the craft section, once a draw has been removed and replaced by plastic items. No longer can good cups or glasses , dinner ware or pots and pans be found and it they are put out, over priced.\r \r The crew is with newer girls that are cheerful and polite but a third has just returned that turns the customers off. One employee has just left which was a blessing.The fourth person has also returned and is making progress with organizing the store and \r making it again a enjoyable place to shop. There is a volunteer that is not an asset to the store. more
