Lots of quality goods, neatly organized. Small and the parking is terrible.
Super tiny place. Didn’t find anything. Prices were pretty high too.
I literally never write reviews, but this store has frustrated me so much that I'm taking the time. I thrift all over Austin, so I'm familiar with how GW runs things in general. The specific issue at this store is the way they handle furniture and larger items. The store is small, so all furniture and larger items are out front, on the sidewalk. That is fine, except for the fact that they don't have a good system for tagging the items, so there is constant confusion about what is available for sale, and what is not. Most stores have a 2-part tag on furniture and larger items, so that you can take off one part of the tag to pay, and the other part of the tag remains on the item. This store only puts one tag on their larger items, and they do NOT like you to bring the items inside, so they tell you to remove the tag from the item and take it inside to pay. What then happens is there are items outside with no tags, and customers don't know if the item has simply not been priced (in error) or if someone else already took the tag. THREE times now, I've had a situation where I wanted to buy a furniture item, and there was no tag, so I went inside and asked about it. One time, another customer overheard and stated she had the tag. No problem. The next time, no one seemed to have the tag, so an employee priced the item. The third time, which was today, there was no tag on the item, and the employees literally REFUSED TO PRICE IT. I was so confused, as I wasn't rushing them to price it right that second, but asked if I waited, would they be able to get a price for me when they finished what they were doing. I was told by two different employees, "No, we can't price 'at the door.' " The thing is, the item wasn't "at the door" (I assume they meant the donation door). It was well to the left of the door, with other priced items. They said I couldn't buy it until it was "processed," and yet I watched them intentionally go to the donation pile, take in boxes of loose items to price, rather than pricing the ONE furniture item sitting there without a price. With such little space, you'd think they'd want to SELL the large items and get them moved out of the way, but no. This made so little sense to me that I asked to speak to a manager. The lady came out is someone I've never seen before, and while very pleasant, she was adamant that she could not price the item, because she could get fired. Literally, what? Their job is to price items so customers can BUY them. I asked her if it was just a matter of they were busy at the moment, and if I came back after running to Trader Joe's, if perhaps she'd have time to price it. She said, "No, I can't price 'at the door.'" Ma'am, no one is asking you to "price it at the door." You're being asked to put a price tag on the item, wherever you'd like to do so. Haul it to the back and price it if you need to, just do your job. I went to Trader Joe's and came back, and they had priced multiple other items, but still not this one. It was as if this woman was intentionally NOT pricing it, because someone expressed interest in it. What a freaking wild way to run a business.
I bought a dress that I didn't see it was ripped until I got home. They wouldn't give my money back the same day and this was a $20 dress. Too expensive. You have to be careful not to pay more than what the clothes are worth
I have tried multiple times on multiple days over the past few months to stop here. There is Never a parking space. Very frustrating.
