I love this store! I cannot think of one time that an employee was rude to me. Granted, some are…read moremore friendly than others but overall no problem at all. You can find curt/rude employees anywhere. If you do not like to dig through the junk to find the treasures then don't go there. And NO! Everything is NOT broken. That's crazy. I'd say most is new and how it got there I don't care. I've bought guy/car things my son has sold. I have been finding great deals for the 1 1/2-2 years I've been going. I've sold many items - especially clothing on Ebay. Found numerous house hold items at fab prices. On Fridays when they restock all new items you need to know prices of things so you don't overpay but that comes from being a educated shopper. I've learned a lot over the years of thrifting and selling. I've gotten some very great deals there and I will keep on shopping! BTW I liked the girl with the curly hair and tattoos. She was super friendly.

I am still in absolute disbelief about what happened at Where Ya Bin Charleston today. I have never…read morein my entire life been spoken to or treated the way I was by one of their employees. For context, Where Ya Bin is a BIN STORE. Which means the entire point of the store is for customers to dig, sift, and inspect overstock, returned, and damaged items. You go there to look, touch, and decide if something is worth buying. Sort of like a treasure hunt. Handling merchandise is not just allowed, it is expected. This context is what makes what happened today even more ridiculous. While shopping, I briefly pulled an item out of an already ripped-open, destroyed bag to get a better look at a visible crack. Before I could even put it back, a woman stormed up to me and immediately told me to "check out and leave." She did not identify herself as an employee or manager. In that moment she was just some stranger barking at me. When I said, "I'm sorry?" out of complete disbelief, she accused me of taking the item out of the bag. I calmly showed her the torn packaging and explained the item was literally falling out. Her response was, "It doesn't matter." At which point she laughed and says "See you just ripped it more." THE PLASTIC BAG WAS ALREADY RIPPED OPEN IN MULTIPLE PLACES. She then tried to justify her behavior by referencing an announcement that was supposedly playing in the store, that no one could hear, and that was in SPANISH. I don't speak Spanish. Neither did anyone around me. Expecting customers to comply with inaudible announcements in another language, with zero guidance or explanation, is absurd. Given her tone, I told her I was trying to be very kind and I just did not understand why I was being asked to leave. She responded, "I'm being kind too." At that point, I said, "Actually no, you're not. Your tone is incredibly disrespectful." Because she was. It almost felt like she was actively looking for a reason to remove my friends and I from the store. For context, this individual is about 5'2", has short black hair, and many visible tattoos and piercings. I mention this because her behavior made her unmistakably identifiable. Her approach was confrontational, accusatory, and entirely inappropriate. Based on the NUMEROUS Google reviews about the same individual with the exact same situation, this isn't a one off. It's a pattern. My friends and I immediately abandoned our very full cart and left. Between us, we would have easily spent $100-$300 each, nearly a $2,000+ sale lost all because of her actions. Believe it or not, it escalated further. While we were near our cars in the parking lot privately discussing the interaction, this same individual FOLLOWED US OUTSIDE. She stood against the wall smoking, staring directly at us, and clearly listening to our conversation. This was intimidating, unnecessary, and made me feel extremely uncomfortable as the one that had been singled out in a group of seven. Once we noticed her presence, we walked to the consignment store next door. Only after a couple of my friends returned to the store and asked to speak with a manager did this individual finally identify herself as one. Instead of providing any clarification, she forcefully told them to leave, claimed she "felt threatened," and stated that all of us were now banned. Claiming to feel threatened by customers who had already left and were then followed outside is WILD. Absolutely unbelievable. This was not a simple misunderstanding. This was a power trip, a misuse of authority, and a complete failure of basic professionalism. If this is how management reacts over a customer inspecting damaged merchandise, it says a lot about this store's culture. Charleston has plenty of bargain places to shop. This is not one I will be returning to until something changes with management. Anyone considering this store should think carefully before stepping inside.

The improvements made so far by the new owners of this shopping center look great! All of the area…read moreresidents are very excited about the new landscaping and new exterior cosmetic changes. I love the convenience of this shopping center and especially enjoy shopping at Publix and eating at Red Orchids China Bistro (it's delicious!) The addition of the new Starbucks is also a huge step in the right direction for this center. Here's hoping that they can attract more upscale merchants. I'd love to see a HomeGoods, ULTA Beauty, McAlister's Deli, etc.

Saturday was real fun with lots of folks shopping, but even with several folks shopping people are chill. This isn't Goodwill and you aren't going to find boring pieces here.
