The cashier Maria didn’t know how to count basic change (pennies vs. dimes) and couldn’t process a simple split payment between cash and card. She acted like I was the one causing the issue, even though it was a normal transaction. Very unprofessional and frustrating experience.

Prices on toddler clothes gets ridiculous. They will have cute tops but used for over 5 bucks . Sometimes stains even and selling them over priced. I come here to buy clothes for my daughter. The fact all these are donations and marked so high for one piece of toddler clothing is much. This place is run my the Church which makes billions of dollars. Winter is here basically and trying to find new quick clothes for my daughter can be hard on a budget especially as a single mom.
