    Our 2nd time to this location. We normally go to the one in Jefferson. Probably 1 of the top…read morerudest staff I ever encountered. I was hunched down on my knees, looking at books on the very bottom shelf. Not an easy feat when your over 55 yrs old. While I was looking, a heard a "excuse me" above me. A employee standing over me. So I said "yes?" And all she said was "excuse me" again and made some hand gestures. So apparently she wanted to put more books on the shelf above me, never-ending the other 5 other shelves of books they had. Not even a thankyou or anything. Just a snotty look. We wont be back this location anytime soon.

    Red White and Blue Thrift has gone completely downhill under the so-called "management" of Samantha…read moreGreen. To put it bluntly, Samantha Green is by far the worst General Manager I have ever encountered anywhere--and I'm not the only one who thinks so. She has zero respect for customers and clearly doesn't care about the people who shop or work there. The energy she brings to the store is downright toxic. Every time I've come in, I've witnessed her either having an attitude with customers, talking down to them, or flat-out belittling them for shopping at a thrift store--as if she doesn't work there herself! The hypocrisy is shocking. Her nasty attitude, constant rudeness, and cruel behavior create an environment that feels unwelcoming and uncomfortable. I've personally heard her make snide comments about the customers right after they leave, mocking people for buying donated clothes, and treating them as if they're beneath her. It's disgusting, it's classless, and frankly, it's just mean-spirited. On top of that, she's lazy and unhelpful. If you need assistance? Forget it. Samantha Green will either ignore you or make you feel like you're bothering her by simply asking a question. She brings no professionalism, no warmth, and no leadership. In short: Samantha Green is an unkind, bitter, and unprofessional manager who is dragging down the entire Red White and Blue Thrift experience. The store could be great with the right leadership, but until they replace her, expect to be treated poorly. Red White and Blue: You need to find a new manager. Samantha Green is not only bad for business--she is bad for basic human decency and completely out of alignment with the values your store is supposed to represent. Samantha Green is a nasty, evil presence who is destroying Red White and Blue from the inside out. Until she is gone, this store will continue to rot under her. Wake up. Get rid of this woman. She is driving your business--and your reputation--straight into the ground.

    Now I'm a big thrift store junkie, especially since I'm trying to lose weight and don't want to…read morespend much money on clothes. This Salvation Army by far has a wonderful selection of furniture. Even when I don't need furniture (I'm big about reducing, reusing, recycling and have sanded down a table by hand and varnished it etc.) I still take a look. They also have a reasonable book selection and being the book lover that I am I can be a bit gluttonous when it comes to books. I mean, who can pass up a book by Maureen Dowd that says "Are Men Necessary?" I bought it because it made me laugh (the feminist woman that I am, don't worry guys, I still love ya'll but it is a pretty funny title). Then there was the one that intrigued me entitled "The Year of Living Biblically." I'm a good ol' Catholic Filipina lady and the idea of someone trying to live as literal as possible from the bible cracks me up! Especially since the bible was written by how many people? Don't get me started on Theology. Anywho, back to my review. I have bought many dresses and skirts in this location. I still think the Goodwill on Tulane Ave. is cheaper but hey, this is my second go to spot. There is also a huge selection of guy stuff. I like looking at the bric a brac as well. The donation site is the next building over and the people are quite friendly. I've donated a papasan chair (imagine that round chair in Cost Plus World Market that you think is comfy but you end up falling out of, well I kept falling out of it! hehe) and other items. They are very efficient and help you unload your car as well as politely asking if you want a tax deduction receipt. There is a convenient parking lot and it's across from Lowe's. Plus it's near Crabby Jack's which is delish but never open when I want to go! hehe

    Ever since I was released from jail in February I have been struggling with homelessness. I…read morerecently visited the salvation army men's shelter in new Orleans and I was shocked by the way it was treating people that was staying at the facility. As soon as I walked in the door I was threatened by the security guard. She stated that if I don't want to sleep outside tonight I needed to get on the back side of the table

    Have you ever noticed that whenever you go into one of the Out of the Closet stores, that no matter…read morewhich one you go into, no matter what city you're in, they all feel and look exactly the same? This location is absolutely no different. You walk into it, and you know you're in an Out of the Closet. In terms of what they have to offer, they offer what all Out of the Closet stores present, high-end vintage clothing. The clothing they offer is very well curated and you know you're going to get something nice. Sure, you may be able to find something similar at a thrift store for a cheaper price, but there's no guarantees. And, there's certainly no guarantee that you're going to find a high-quality item of that something that you want in a specific style and format like you can at Out of the Closet. All Out of the Closets locations offer a very nice selection of both men's and women's clothing. Plus, they all have tons of shoes. This one is no different. Like all Out of the Closets, sometimes you find what you're looking for and sometimes you may find something really great that you never even expected that you wanted. And, sometimes you're going to find nothing at all. That's just the name of the game. So, if you're on Magazine Street, and you want to take a shot and grab that really interesting piece of vintage clothing, this may be your place to do it.
