Discount Stores in La Mesa, CA

“I don't know what it is with San Diego thrift stores or if it's just California. What is with the pricing!! It's ridiculous. This is the only store that has nice quality and thrift store priced items. Closest store I've found to a *GEM*. Definitely come to this store so many good things. Still a bit on the pricey side but not too bad.”

“The people I met recently were most friendly and sweet. But I do have to complain about a cashier doing a while ago that was obnoxious and violated basic queue logic.

Buyer 1 who was third in line in Line A, had three items. Line B then opened. So that buyer went to be the first at Line B. But the cashier STOPPED that buyer and forced them to wait, just to bring the buyer second in Line A over. For the record, Buyer A had only like a handful of items, Line A was NOT exceptionally slow. Buyer B had a full cart of items! Even Buyer B was confused.

The cashier shouldn’t have to do such things, it’s first come first serve for cashier lines for efficiency. The cashier should ONLY EVER pull from the front of another line if it is exceptionally slow. Still, why pull someone with a full cart from the front of even an exceptionally slow/long line to get first dibs in a newly open line, when someone with just one item has already made it there? Not everyone buyer will be aware enough to let the person with one item ahead. All of this serves as “accommodation” that only wastes more time and effort. Another scenario even: if someone makes it to line 1 with a lot of items, is in a hurry but isn’t gonna mention anything for politeness sake, only for the cashier to pull Person B who has an equal amount of items from the front of another average line. It’s just, by this same logic, should the buyer who stayed inside the store the longest be given dibs as the first one to pay, out of everyone currently present in the store?

This was a quite a mundane rant I went on but it really was annoying. Another good thing, it seems the possibly bigoted older male employee is gone, the one who many have reported acted weird to them from treating them rudely, to searching bags and following them. Relief.”

“This is my second time here and I really like it! Everything is well organized and nicecly decorated. I love the staff here, they are very friendly and helpful. but most important, I always find many valuable items here. I definitely recommend it, Cheers!”
