Let's all be honest with ourselves: Red Racks is a terrible thrift store. Consistently dirty,…read morehigher prices than any other thrift in the city, poor selection of everything except clothes, and usually pretty bad customer service. There are some gems if you know how to look and hit on sale days, but don't expect awesome hauls here if you aren't ready to drop a couple hundred dollars. They've recently changed their dollar rack to be two dollars instead. Special shoutout to the "Vintage Shop." Anything that looks old, worn, and useless gets chucked over in that corner for a special 100-500% markup of the price that item would normally be. Half of the stuff in that section isn't even vintage. If every price in the store was cut in half, it might be worth it. I'm a huge thrifter and this is our least frequent thrifting stop, if that tells you anything.

I recently completed some community service hours at Red Racks, and the experience was extremely…read moredisappointing--especially because of one manager named David. This man should not be in any type of management position. Calling him unhelpful is honestly being generous. When I first arrived to sign in so they could log my hours, my file was missing. I told the woman who was supervising at the time, and she couldn't find it either, so she just scribbled her initials. I only worked two hours that day, but when I went back to get credit for them, David told me I'd have to talk to the person who signed me out. I described her to him, and he claimed he "couldn't recall" who I was talking about and said I'd need to track her down myself. I don't have a vehicle, so I can't just drive up there every day hoping to find her. I called again later and unfortunately got David a second time. I explained again that I needed my hours credited--hours I actually worked--and he still refused to help. Throughout my time volunteering there, none of the managers acted like leaders. They barely acknowledged me. They'd just tell me to straighten clothes or fix hangers. Since I've worked retail before, I asked for a rag to wipe down the shelves because they were filthy, and they didn't even seem to know where anything was. While I was there, I overheard multiple customers complaining--one about being charged for items they didn't buy, another about the prices being way too high for a thrift store. I agreed with them and made it clear I was just a volunteer. When I looked around myself, I was shocked at how overpriced everything was, especially considering the store gets all its merchandise donated for free and relies heavily on unpaid volunteers. If you're looking for a place to complete community service hours, I strongly recommend going somewhere else. And honestly, if you're just looking to shop at a thrift store, you might want to choose a different one too. I'm clearly not the only person who's had a bad experience here.

There are lots of great things to be found here but they're entirely dependent upon luck. You might come for days and find nothing good, then find something amazing in the first 10 minutes another time. Be prepared for dubious substances, slime, broken glass, and lots of garbage. Wear gloves if you think you need them. Be prepared for people to shove you out of the way to get something they want or, alternatively, stand 3 inches away and give you the stink eye while you dig through a bin they want to look in. As other reviewers have said, the people working there often just make up prices. This can sometimes work out in your favor but often leads to overpaying, especially if they make you weigh the cart. Whatever weight they have put in for the carts is not accurate at all and will lead to you paying extra 99 times out of 100. Seriously, this place is not for the faint of heart. Or nose. If you're a hardcore thrifter looking for your next treasure, it's absolutely worth the visit. Just make sure you bring some hand sanitizer!

You can get lucky and find some really great furniture too. I love that they have started giving donors a $5 off coupon when bringing in donations. I also love that they will come to your house to pick up any furniture that you want to donate but can't bring in yourself. They also have sales daily and post a calendar so you know what is on sale when. Clothes sales days can get very hectic! That being said I don't like donating too much here, as I feel they price items awfully high for people on limited incomes. It seems like they cater more to people with money who are just looking for a good deal. I prefer to take clothes to places that give it away to low income people. I know they take the money they make and help a lot of people in the community, so that's great, but I just wish some of the prices in store were a little more affordable. I frequently see housewares priced higher or the same as new items at retail stores.
