I've encountered some of the least helpful volunteers at this shop. The store itself is very clean…read moreand well organized. Prices are typically pretty good, although several different people do the pricing so sometimes you can find some items that are excellently priced and then find others that are higher than would be expected. Also it's not a particularly large space, but they have a great selection of goodies to browse. I typically find at least one or two things to purchase whenever I visit. However, some of the ladies that volunteer there aren't very friendly or helpful. I've chatted with a few that are super sweet and rays of sunshine, but others seem annoyed if you ask them questions or can be short with you. During last visit with friends, for example, we had strange encounters with multiple employees. One of my friends was ready to check out and (unbeknownst to her) was not in line properly. The cashier, rather than make eye contact with my friend and tell her the line forms this way, completely ignored her and moved on to the next customer, who was in the correct spot, but got in line after my friend. And then the cashier was rude to my friend when she asked her about it. I also had a large amount of items in my basket and asked if I could put it behind the counter so I could continue shopping more comfortably. The lady I asked kind of scoffed and said no we don't do that, with no further explanation. Very strange since I've done this at many other thrift stores and there is a lot of open area behind the counter. But whatever. As I said I will still continue to shop here, just know that you may not always have the best customer service experience while visiting the store. I definitely approve of their maintenance of the store, the quality of the items and their mission, so I will still visit.

A really rude white woman with long frizzy hair, a little dog, and a grumpy demeanor watched me back into the EMPTY parking lot where this thrift store was, saw me walk into the coffee shop waited a bit and then finally walked in and was totally rude and disruptive to the costumers of that business. She had the nerve to go out of her way (when she could've clearly told me something as she stood and watched me park my vehicle, again in an empty parking lot, which would've saved her this bad review). Instead she opens the door of that business and asks who owns the silver suv which was me, I said it's mine I can move it right now and instead of stopping there she preceded to rudely take her anger out on me saying she's tired of people parking her space while they get their hair done and stuff, mind you its not like she wasn't already parked and even if she wasn't she had the entire parking lot to herself aside from the one parking spot I parked in. My one friend is a little spicy and didn't like her tone of how she came in and caused a scene like that with me so she took it upon herself to chime in on the conversation asking if she had a sign that said that's her parking spot, that really wasn't necessary but she was being a friend and felt the need to speak up for me considering how rude this woman was. I was so embarrassed, I didn't even want to tell her I was going into the thrift store at that point nor did I want to give her my business, so I said yea I missed my turn i meant to come here so I parked in the empty parking lot. Clearly she's just miserable and maybe she was having a bad day but that really didn't look well for her business. Represent yourself and your store better. That was petty and you know it. To make a big deal like that when mine and your car were the only two in the entire parking lot was very rude and immature of you. You wouldn't know it but i am an avid antique collector, and i often frequent the local thrift and antique shops in the high desert ( Country crossroads being the best, very friendly and inviting staff and they always have one of a kind vintage items I never leave there empty handed). I contemplated leaving this store a review as I didn't even go inside but as I sat here and read reviews on why this store has only 3.7 stars, I came across more than a few reviews talking about how rude the workers here are. So I figured I'd contribute to the reviews if that's how they treat their community who are trying to give them business. This was my first time coming to this thrift store and I would never come again. Your attitude and pettiness left a sour taste in my mouth I hope you had a better day today.

This location is in a shopping center area, next to a Domino's Pizza. It has a large parking lot…read morethat it partially shares with other establishments. The store has lots of items ranging from seasonal items to clothing, books, movies, figurines, kitchenware, tapestries, paintings and more. They don't have much furniture though. If you see something good buy it! It might not be available the next time you visit. The aisles are organized and don't have a bad smell, like some thrift stores I've visited. They offer a military discount of 15% off non-sale items every Monday. Today, they had a 50% off offering of items with a blue tag. The reason I rated the location low is because the customer service can use some improvements. My daughter and I stood waiting at the counter and no one acknowledged us. A young worker was talking with someone and the security guard was kind enough to signal to her that customers were waiting to checkout. When the young woman came to the counter to check us out she wasn't friendly. She didn't greet us or make small talk, she just did her job and rung up the items, giving me the military discount where appropriate. I know friendliness is not required but it sure does make a difference! It's noticed when it's there and when it's not there.

Please get rid of stuff that has been on the shelf for years. Volunteers are rude and the manager sucks. They have a sign up in the front that says everything is half off in the store, but then they make the prices super high so that it's just like a regular price item at any other thrift store. I'm not sure who they think they're fooling.

What a gem to find such a small thrift store, but Big Bear Valley Hummingbird project is not…read moresomething you see out of Big Bear Blvd., named as such since the signage outside is not easy to read. I am so glad that I dropped in, and honestly I could have been here for awhile. The minute you enter, there are tons of clothing, but when looking for specific items that are antiques (ish) then you are in for a treat. People might think the thrift store is not organized but honestly they all have the same look to me & the scent of old bookstores/garage smell. But when I am in the mood to look for old cast iron objects specially old soap dishes, or anything that appears retro, this place has them. And the man who was helping me was quite nice and lucky me 50% off as it was labor day special. And I liked another item, that I came back to purchase the Native American Headdress (war bonnet). I was lucky it was still there because it caught my attention, hesitant because it is definitely an honor to find it and my hands drew me to the item when I was purchasing a cast iron bird/fountain. Also awhile back I did come down a few years ago and a lady who worked there was giving us free books. Also showing off the items that I was happy with! I went to Doves and the Fun Stuff thrift store and could not find anything remotely close to what I found at Hummingbird. There was also Mountain Mod and that place was cool but only if you want to spend $25-maybe even $500+ for things that probably can be found in estate sales. Definitely checking out Hummingbird on my next trip!
