This fucking store brah, it's just gotten worse and worse over the years. I've gone in there to sell closes and more recently I've only gone in there to buy things. The product isn't the problem it's them employees. EVERY SINGLE EMPLOYEE that I've interacted with at this store is a dumb, teenie bopper, who's constantly glued to there cell phones, looking down on people that are in there store buying stuff cause it's second hand. They think everyone is out to steal there 8$ T-shirt's, for example I was looking through the T-shirt section and mean girl #1 comes up and picks up a price tag off the ground with in maybe 5 feet of myself. She picks it up like glares at me and walks up to the 18 year old manager, who proceeded to put me on blast, implying I was a theif, I tried to have a normal conversation with the 18yr old manager, who was just upset she was disturbed during her texting and gossiping about the Kardashians. She went on calling me a theif in front of 5-7 other customers, I told her I actual had just purchased this shirt at a Fred Myers less then a mile away before coming here and can provide that. She called me a lair and told me to leave the store. I went out to my car and got the receipt from Fred Myers with the exact shirt brand on it and time and dated for 30min before this happened, she told me I could shop there now, sense when the fuck do I need to prove to some dumb bitch, that won't amount to anything cuz they think they are on some sort of pedestal, like there in High School still. Hire some actual nice, genuine, kind sales people and you'll be much more successful. read more

This store and the EMPLOYEES ARE TERRIBLE!! The staff is stuck up, rude, and inattentive. They never greet me when I walk in but will gladly greet and strike up conversations with "other" customers. I have been shopping at this location for many years and have noticed the customer service from all members of the staff is always disappointing and has been that way every time I come in. The workers are always following me around the store in a very obvious and creepy way, and It always takes a long time for an employee to come help me with a dressing room, even when I had gone up and asked them face-to-face. As I was shopping, I could count at least 3 shirts with stains on them, and all the shoes have clumps of dirt falling off them. As I was paying for my items, the two workers on duty, CJ (F) and EDW (M) , were having a whole conversation together, completely ignoring me and another non-white customer. It was so rude and disrespectful, neither of them mentioned a word to us other than our totals, not even a goodbye. It is so uncomfortable to shop here, the clothes are honestly not worth the toxic atmosphere created by the staff, and I truly will not be shopping here again. read more

DO NOT COME HERE. The employees are unbelievably rude, racist, and stuck up. I was not greeted. I was basically being followed/watched around the whole store. I couldn't even shop without the same employee coming down the same aisle as me, purposely watching me just because of my appearance? When I went to pay, I wasn't even spoken to. The only thing that came out of his mouth was my total. THAT WAS ALL. The clothes aren't all that great either, trust me. I also find it very immature how the two employees working that day (CJ and EDW) were gossiping about their other coworkers way more than actually doing their job. Super rude and disgusting things were said about their fellow coworkers that made me very uncomfortable. So not appropriate to do, especially on the job! I couldn't even go 2 minutes without hearing them talking sh** about their fellow coworkers, and nagging about their manager. They would make jokes about their appearance and call them names. That's so childish to me. The employees have always been so rude, and looking at the other reviews I'm glad others see it too! So learn from our mistakes, please don't come here, cause I know damn well I'M NOT! read more

There was a death in my family and I had all these clothes. Shoes, jeans, tops, dresses, and coats. 4 big tubs of clothes that I washed and made sure were in good condition. I called the store yesterday and told them the brand names. Levi's, tommy hilfiker, charter club, and lots of Macy's brands. Told them I had a lot! They didn't promise anything but said they accepted those brands and to bring them in. So I go in today and struggled getting these tubs in the door. They helped a little. It took them about 10 minutes to look at everything and offered me $7 for 2 items. I'm not happy and will never go there again. I think they took one look at me and because I'm older they didn't think my items were worth much. While I was there several others came in with bags. I wonder if they had better luck than I did.

The Salem location is chaotic, and disorganized at best. I've been in a few times thinking that it may have just been a busy week, but nope, it's always this way. The employees are are too busy gossiping about other employees to be helpful at all. They are rude when you do ask for help, like you're waisting their time, or are not worthy of their time. To top it all off, most do not wear their masks. The products are mostly in poor condition. The shoes are torn up and dirty, and the clothes are of a poorer quality than most goodwill stores. read more

All I have to say to this is if you were in no wrong, why would your bf and coworker break policy to refund me?

Lastly I am not the one working minimum wage customer service with the expectation to be respectful to the public, especially after the public (you and this business) disrespect me, and attempted to initially mock my first review with your "oh no!" Response. Oh and as disturbing as it may be, I did not seek you out on social media. Though it isn't hard as your tagged in dittos public instagram. I actually found out who you were via telling people about my horrible experience with you and them knowing exactly who I was talking about! If you don't want personal information being dragged into this I suggest handling yourself better at your public service based job, telling the job to not tag you, and definitely don't go mocking people bad reviews they leave about you. Hopefully you've learned from this how to treat other as you wish to be treated, thank you for finally acknowledging and responding, I SO deeply appreciate it!
