You know what I hate about my job? People. Of course not all people because most of the custumers at the thrift store are really nice. But then there’s those who steal and switch price tags.
We have two differents kinds of price tags in the store. Those for our own stuff and those for the stuff we sell for other people. Basicly people leave their stuff at our store and we sell it for them (they get 60% and we take 40%). Each of their items get a specific item number so we can keep track on what we sell. Our own stuff have no item numbers.
Tuesday there was a woman who put two different price tags on a set of salt and pepper shakers. First of all they’re sold in a set and therfor should have only one price tag. Second of all she put different types of price tags on them. One with a item number and one without. When I saw that I immediately got suspicious. I looked up the item number in our extensive list of stuff we’re currently selling for people and that list said that the item number was for two plastic bowls. That shaker didn’t look like two plastic bowls at all! If you’re gonna switch price tags at least do it right!
Today there was a man who wanted to buy two curtain holders. They were held together by a ribbon but they both had price tags on. Well one still had a price tag and the other one the remains of a price tag ripped off. They costed 10 SEK (0,9€) (0,7$) a piece. When people try to cheat us of 10 SEK it’s getting rediculous. If you’re gonna cheat us on money at least try something expensive!
Another time a lady came with a lamp foot without a price tag. Sometimes the tags falls off so that’s not odd. She asked if she could give 20 SEK for it. The thing is, I knew that at the time we had no lamp foots without shades for sale. The woman had simply removed the shade since she figured a foot without the shade is cheaper.
These things makes me so mad! It’s a thrift store for gods sake! It’s not like the stuff is expensive to begin with!
