“A hidden treasure. They have good, sometimes great, items that are donated and well priced. The volunteers are friendly, helpful and in into the thrifting/reusing process. I always find something that I want. It’s a win-win to shop here. I get cool, unique clothes and jewelry and it goes to a good cause.

“Lots of treasures found in this store. The staff was great! I got home and I received a phone call from my dentist office asking if I had been to the Salvation Army today because they found my wallet. The manager at Salvation army found my dentist's card in my wallet and that is how she found me. I really felt everyone went above and beyond to keep my wallet safe and went the extra mile to contact me. I'm so grateful!!!!”

“I’m a thrift store junkie. Savers has become my favorite thrift store. The inventory changes constantly and the prices are reasonable. The people who work there are very pleasant and sometimes quite funny. The store is always clean and organized. Kudos to the staff at Savers!!”

“The store is always super busy and hectic no matter the time of day. No changing rooms available to try things on. Big selection of women’s close, small selection of men’s clothes and moderate collection of house hold items. Donation and store hours are 9am-9pm which is great.”

“Like most thrift stores, it's pot luck, but this one is pretty decidedly down market. It's worth a snoop every so often, though, because like most thrift stores, you CAN score!”

“Everyone here is very nice and the store was well staffed and clean. Kyle was especially friendly. The selection at the store seems very good if your looking for size Large. I found a Ted Baker dress shirt that retails for over $50 at Macys for $18. Unfortunately I found the mens selection of medium/small shirts or 30x32 pants very limited and some of the clothes didn’t seem to be organized with the correct size. I also wish there had been a dressing room because I ended up buying a couple shirts that are likely to be too small but I bought them any way since they were so cheap. Kyle told me i could change in the book section but I felt a bit awkward about doing that because the store was rather busy. And a couple of girls were shopping in the same section as me and were being rude. Overall, my complaints, or outside the scope of what I could expect. Everything reasonable was exceptional.”

“A magical thing happened... I ran here as fast as I could Saturday night before they closed at 6pm. I found it on Google maps and saw from the pictures that they had a much better jewelry selection than most other second hand stores, and I had been looking for a necklace with big black beads for my kpop demon hunters bird costume for weeks. I didn't make it. I was standing outside the closed door at 6:04ish and saw through the glass two necklaces with giant beads. Yay! I thought I'd come back on Sunday but they didn't open again until Thursday, so I mime-begged the owner to open the door (soooo bad, I know, but the necklace was perfect, I had looked in local shops and stores for the last month, and I wasn't gonna be able to make it back on Thursday). She did a VERY kind thing by opening the door and letting me come in and buy the necklace! The price was really reasonable. I was so elated! I still am just thinking about it. It meant a lot to me that she opened the door when she absolutely did not need to. Will try to remember to post a picture of the costume with the necklace here later.”

“I wasn’t sure where to send this, so I’m submitting it here. I’ve been a regular shopper at your stores for over a decade—first at the Polk Street location, and now more frequently at the Folsom Street location since moving nearby. I know some of the staff by name and they know mine, including Marcy, and have appreciated the consistency and convenience—until recently. There are two employees at the Folsom location whose behavior has created an increasingly uncomfortable shopping experience: Lorena and a woman I believe is named Tanisha. Lorena repeatedly approaches me while I’m shopping, asking if I’m okay or if everything is going fine—usually multiple times in one visit. I don’t see her doing this with other customers, and it feels like she’s profiling me. Whether she assumes I’m unhoused or a shoplifter, I don’t know—but it’s uncomfortable, intrusive, and, at this point, feels like harassment. Everytime she asks my response clearly displays irritation I even told her it was annoying, and yet it continues. Sometimes I don’t even go in if I see her working. That said, my bigger concern is with Tanisha. She has consistently displayed unprofessional behavior—loudly complaining on the floor, using inappropriate language, chatting with the female security guard about personal topics, and creating a chaotic atmosphere. But what happened today was especially upsetting. An elderly man came in with a concern about his points not transferring. I don’t know the full details, but Tanisha’s response was flat-out disrespectful. She cut him off, refused to listen, and dismissed his concern by saying the manager would tell him the same thing anyway. She was short, condescending, and repeatedly announced—in front of other customers—that she was “done dealing with him” and that her coworkers would have to handle him from now on. It was humiliating to watch. Everyone in the store was looking over, clearly uncomfortable. The whole atmosphere shifted—it put everyone on edge. Whatever the situation, that man was elderly, and he deserved basic respect. What made it worse was how she turned on Lorena afterward, who, to her credit, had stepped in and calmly helped the man. Tanisha seemed angry that the issue got resolved and kept loudly insisting she wouldn’t “deal with this anymore.” I commend Lorena for her help—despite my issue with her—because she at least de-escalated the moment. Even after the customer left, Tanisha continued sarcastically telling people, “I guess we just hand points out now,” mocking the situation loudly in front of everyone. It was petty and unprofessional. Tanisha has been rude to me before, and I’ve seen her be inappropriate with others—including mocking a transgender friend of mine. This isn’t just a bad day or poor judgment. It’s a pattern. Her behavior brings down the entire environment. Frankly, she should not be working in customer service. I’m only sharing this because I’ve been loyal to your stores for years and believe in the experience you aim to provide. But this situation needs to be addressed—before more customers are pushed away. Oh ya also, your prices are getting to a point of ridiculous. This is supposed to be a thrift store for a good cause but I feel like you would make more if you lowered your prices as I frequently see the same things everytime I go in. There was a pair of sandals that had the tags on them for 12.00 your price 14.00 when bringing it to associates attention. She said she didn’t price things and asked if I still wanted it. Obviously I declined. Makes no sense.”

“I certainly love this store's eclectic attributes. Has a great selection of merchandises you wouldn't be looking for perusing the store. Thank you for your store and pleased and happy with each visit!!!”

“Be warned before coming here: This place is super small, I wouldn't call it a thrift store but more like a guy who sells used stuff. Don't get me wrong he's quite nice but if you're expecting clothes and vintage stuff don't come. It's mostly used applicances and used electronics. Still worth a visit if you're in the area”

“Insiders Local Tip: Make sure to sell on days that either Diana or Flora are working, they are the expert buyers and are super sweet too.The two other ladies big Latina and long curly haired lady are pretty much clueless when it comes to fashion in general, they will barely take anything,I took whatever they didn't take and sold the rest to Buffalo Exchange which has been around longer than F.X..FYI. I have been a loyal shopper here since they first opened on Polk @ Sutter ( um over 20 years ago) I think? YIKES! I have both sold and bought items here over the years and it never fails that I always find something totally awesome.They pretty much take everything I bring in to sell so that's cool..Some all time fave purchases, black leather jacket,a silver pentagram necklace, large travel tote and most recently retro Christian Dior sunglasses for just $25 Love the 80's or Euro style music usually playing in the background to set the ultimate fun shopping vibe. Fashion Exchange rocks! ?”

“First time at this Goodwill location and will definitely be back. Found a couple of AG Jeans and designer wedges and a few books and mugs. Everything was well organized and all the staff, especially Sagee, were so helpful and patient. Bought more things than I planned to but super happy with the prices and brands.”

“Love having this in the neighborhood. I appreciate the extended hours. The staff is always so friendly! We’ve bought many items for Halloween costumes, sun hats for my kids and other items as needed over the years. One star knocked off as some days it’s not very clean/tidy. Generally they do a great job moving high volumes of donations around the store.”

“My favorite East Bay Goodwill store. They seem to get good stuff more frequently than other stores. Update: All the Goodwill stores have changed as the market has changed. It's getting harder and harder to find good non-clothing stuff.”

“I take things here almost every week! Then I make the mistake of going inside, and two hours often goes by before I'm out again! They have a great range of books, including children's books, a lot of toys, including ride-on toys. Lots of linens (curtains, tableclothes, small rugs, sheets, comforters. Clothes are probably their biggest things, lots and lots including kids'.. Great range of kitchen things including small appliances like toasters, fans, air purifiers, computers, etc. Of course it depends what they get in from week-to-week. I wouldn't expect much from the staff, but I always find something I”
