In counter response to Hernandez A.'s negative review of the Valencia Street Salvation Army, I am a…read morelong time supporter of this Family Store location and Maria has always been a consistent bright spot at this store: professional, hardworking, and unfailingly respectful--even when dealing with customers who don't extend the same courtesy. Yelp isn't your personal grievance diary and taking a public swing at a longtime employee says more about you than it does about her. If you genuinely felt wronged, the adult move is to address it with management directly. As a person of color myself, tossing around accusations like racism in a review without substance isn't advocacy--what it is, is lazy, flippant and overreach. As for the store itself: Salvation Army Thrift Store continues to do what it's always done--support people who actually need it. Yes, prices may be up slightly (I only thrift clothes and shoes so increase is between $1-$5 across the levels), but they're still well below most local thrift competitors, and the mission behind the register matters. As a side note, the new rewards program is a great new added incentive! The Valencia team shows up, works hard, and treats people with respect. If that's not enough, no one's forcing you to shop here--feel free to take your expectations (and attitude) elsewhere.

While I have an attractive and youthful demeanor, and a rocking hot bod, I realized that most of my…read moreshirts are cropped. And well, I'm in my 30s so that's weird. EVERYTHING can't be cropped. I did a major closet clean out and expunged my SHEIN, crop tops and prized clothes that fit in my 20s that I can no long mash my plump buns into. 2026 is going to be the year I turn into a fine auntie who wears quality materials. But I had 2 garbage bags full of clothes that had to go, including the fur coats my aunt gave me from this old dead person she befriended (she befriends rich Caucasian people near the end of their life, and I usually get the hand-me-downs, including some wonderful Egyptian cotton sheets!) Enter Buffalo Exchange, a way I could get rid of all my crap and also exchange it for better crap. Every day Buffalo exchange buys clothes, all day. In the olden days you had to just show up and wait, but in the digital age, you can go on their website and sign up ahead of time and it will let you know what the estimated wait time is! I've done that twice & the first time it worked out really well for me, but the second time the website threw me off the waitlist right before it was my turn. Luckily the workers were reasonable and still took me. The wait times IRL can be longer than the website suggests because people like me bring in garbage bags full of clothes, so don't plan to be in a rush. While waiting, you can peruse their assortment of clothes. If you're selling clothes, you get store credit worth 50% of what the clothes would sell for, or you can get 25%, so if you find something you like and you're a selling clothes, it's worth it to opt for store credit. I bought so much stuff The first time I didn't make any money from those fur coats! All in all, I'd say it's a great way to both clean out your closet and exchange it for clothes that better suit your lifestyle. We really should be stepping away from fast fashion and Thrifting is a great way to get a unique piece that nobody else has!

A woman was buying storage bins in front of me for $18 each. Funny that I bought the same ones at Lowe's for $9. I said nothing, to support the cause we can all throw in a bit more. And then the wait to pay. I hung out for 15 minutes, when the cashier finally acknowledged me. About 10 minute's later, he finally finished with the customer and got to me. The sign on the front of the counter says that "no bills over $50 are accepted." I gave him a $50. (ATMs give them and it was all I had.) He said he can't take it. It was all I had, and the sign says nothing over a $50 accepted, soooo? He said he would make an exception this time and I should remember it for the future. I was just a blob to him, he listening to a word I said. The only thing I'll remember for the future is that I waited nearly a half hour for a used jacket and was reprimanded for paying for it with money that their own sign says they accept. I think this cause isn't one I'm as invested anymore, at least not at this store.
