A Call for Community and Compassion: Enhancing Sustainability at Our Local Thrift StoreDear Management and Community,I recently had the pleasure of connecting with your team about donating items to your thrift store, and it got me thinking about the collective impact we can make in our community.I understand that the store has its challenges, particularly in selling certain items. Your commitment to sustainability and responsible waste management is commendable. However, I'd like to propose some ideas that not only align with these values but also foster a stronger sense of community and support for those in need.Firstly, I'd like to suggest exploring options like arranging pickups for unsold items through services like Goodwill. This not only minimizes the environmental impact of sending unwanted or unsold items to the dump but also extends the life of these goods, potentially benefiting individuals who might not have access to your store.Additionally, introducing a "Free Section" could be a transformative step. Many people in our community may be struggling financially and, while hesitant to spend money, could greatly benefit from essential items. This initiative not only reduces waste but creates a channel for goodwill and generosity within our community.Understanding the challenges your thrift store faces, I believe these proposals can not only enhance the environmental aspect but also contribute significantly to addressing poverty. By redirecting unsold items to those in need, we can collectively make a positive impact on individuals who may be experiencing financial hardships.I am confident that, as a community, we can work together to create a more sustainable and compassionate environment. Your thrift store has the potential to be a beacon of positive change, demonstrating that profitability and community support can coexist harmoniously.Thank you for your time and consideration. I am optimistic that, together, we can make a difference that resonates beyond the walls of your store.If you are part of the community and read this, please advocate for it.Warm regards

Very nice lady, prices were cheap. Payed $11 for 8 items, which included clothes, a belt, and a book. Will come back if I visit North Carolina again.

Whoever is working prices the items, so it’s hit or miss as far as cost goes. Sometimes they price fair, sometimes pretty high. I haven’t been a single time when they didn’t close at least an hour early, and after a 30 minute drive to get there, it’s pretty annoying how inconsistent they are. They have good stuff, but good luck getting anything. Cash only and only open sometimes, and if you’re thinking you can call to make sure they’re staying open full hours, think again. They don’t answer the phone. Nice enough people. Inefficiently and poorly run.

Don’t waste your time stopping at this overpriced trash dumpster of a store. Nothing is priced, it’s the most unorganized thrift store I’ve ever been in and the old hag at the register has a bad attitude. There wasn’t a single item in the place that I would have carried out if everything was free.I’m really sorry that I have to give this place even a single star- it doesn’t deserve it.

The donations were left outside in piles. Staff did not say much to us, but talked quite a lot to each other. I heard one of the staff members talking about how she hoped that these shoes were "in her size" like she was hoping to take them home. Inside the store, items were cluttered all over and left on the floors. Overall, not the best store if you're looking for good thrift finds.

The old woman taking the money was so rude and obnoxious this morning. She threw my money back at me and said she had no change- walk yourself across the road to the bank and get some. I asked if an appliance worked and she snarled and said she had no clue. Rude rude! I want to help the Boys and Girls Club of Cashiers BUT never this way! That lady has a heart issue with people and probably ought to donate her time on a farm with animals.

I was at Cashiers Thrift Store today, saw some new placemats that the lady at the desk told me were $1.00 each. I thought this was a fantastic deal, since they appeared new, with tags. I had 4 sets of 6 gathered up waiting to pay and then another lady appeared and said those placemats are half the ticket price. I told the lady that the other lady (who was sitting right there) told me they were only a dollar each. She said well she told you incorrectly and repeated that they were half off. I said I don’t want and returned to the shelf. If I had been told the correct price when I asked, I would have bought at half price, but wouldn’t have bought at any price after the price had been changed. So I guess that the only person that can decide what the price is the one with the attitude!

I’ve been coming to this thrift store for years. It’s always been kind of “junky” so I’m used to it. If you’re used to a well organized, prices marked, nicer quality items this isn’t the thrift for you. I watched a woman with several items be charged $62 total and I was surprised and judging by her facial expression so was she but she paid. I asked for prices on each item before deciding which to buy. Which is kind of annoying. There should definitely be more set pricing especially for clothing. The volunteer was very friendly on my visit. My mother said her experience a few days prior was not the case.

Great store with lots of good stuff! Prices are not real clear or posted which I don't like. It's not fun to get to cash register and then they look at the items you're purchasing and then decide on a price. Seems like it can vary depending on who is the cashier.

Don’t waste your time!I was traveling in Highlands and had never been to Cashiers. Decided to go and coming into Cashiers I noticed the thrift store and stopped. The place was a mess and the lady at the desk was rude to my friend and me, as well as everyone. Also the prices were high. The final straw was when she was rude to the people that were donating items! After that experience I didn’t want to even go into Cashiers. Turned around and went back to Highlands! She is NOT a good ambassador for Cashiers.

We were visiting this area and excited about trying this thrift store. The elderly woman working at the cash register was fairly rude. Also, instead of having set, fair prices, we had to bring every item to her and she gave us crazy high prices for things. The store is also very cluttered and full of junk. Hopefully they get someone to fairly price this store and start moving stuff out of there.

wanted to give 5 stars because the previous time my visit was very good, they have a wide assortment of things I liked a lot, this last time there was an older lady and the treatment of me and the people in front of me was not very pleasant, (it should be mentioned that they were also Latino like me) she snatched things from my hand and answered me annoyed I don't want to say it's because of my skin but that's how it looked. do not leave what I bought just because I liked what I bought but I was about to be the same as her rude only that I did not want to disrespect her because of her age, I repeat that the lady before this visit was very kind. Last visit was june 16 2022

Nice store. I'm always amazed at the variety of products that they have here. My wife and I have been coming here for many years and when we're on vacation we have to stop.They moved to a new location and got bigger.The prices are always good. There are many clothes, shoes, books, furniture and a lot of kitchen items.There is an electronic section.This is going to a good cause. They support the community.Parking lot was accessible. Easy access to the front door.The area is always clean and nice.Thanks again for your support of the community.

I've always found something interesting here. The prices have never been outrageous. It's packed full of items, which makes it an adventure to see what kind of things you may find.
