have never encountered such abuse at a retail location, as I have at Thrift store city.To be accused of being a thief by an employee and required to defend one's self will truly create even the kindest person to defend honest action and intentions.Discovering a table that was in the back in the back of the store priced 39.00 seemed reasonable, I made the attempt to take it to the register. As it was heavy I carried it a few feet put it down and returned with a cart, as there was no one to help. I pulled my back as I lifted the table into the cart the tag that was stapled to the table fell off.. Some employee placed the tag with stapeler in the wood. This poorly placed tag fell off the edge of the table. I picked up the tag off of the floor and proceded to the front register to pay at the counter.Upon trying to pay I was informed that I should have taken off the bottom half of the tag. I informed her that the tag had fallen off when I placed it in the cart. And didnt know the rules here as this had been my second time ever here...Well, the gates of hell opened. As the slow tourte of disfuntion and obscurity took hold.She said;I can't sell it without permission. After 10 minutes and 5 requests for manager the request fell pn deaf ears, with a second cashier begging over the loud speakers.... The second round of insanity began....I was then told it was not her(the manager) department and she needed to call Dave. Seems it was daves department. Well how lucky for me I'm thinking as perhaps Dave was the bright individual that stapled a price tag into WOOD with an office type of staple...and HELL would vanish, I could pay for the table and be on my way...Boy using the word bright was long stretch and the wrong word and I now have steped into the rabbit hole...Dave the "wonder" employee, begians his attitude and tells me he didn't price this table and begins to accuse me being the problem and insinuating now that I am a thief.Then Dave the fly trap....proceeded to dig a deeper hole to insult me by asking me to find the holes as to where the stapled tag was, insinuating now that I am some kind of idiot thief.After going down the rabbit hole of his stupidity, I said really what is going on...this process has now taken 20 minutes of my time, the table was priced by a stapler, the tag states TABLE and is indeed the tag that was on the table that fell off and NOW you are asking me to defend myself and my integrity by looking for tiny pin holes in a old beat up table with a very ornate design. Needless to say I left in frustration.Here's the wonderful part in calling Mr. Johnson who seems to be the owner even less mental capacity then Dave.... Insulted in every way possable. This bully abuser called me not only a thief, crazy, and a rich _ I T C H... just when you think you heard it all... No... not with this establishment.This retail thrift store honors no one.There is no one benefiting from this thrift store but Mr. Johnson.Do you not question all the donations...what are YOU donating TOO???In my opinion Mr. Johnson's Mercedes payment, is what Thrift Store City is all about.No community services, No children, Not homeless shelters, Not rehabilitation of work or education."Mr. Johnson"Mr. Johnson was abusive, insulting, and belittles his customers, slanders them and causes them emotional harm, upsetting them, falsely accusing them of thieft, lying and holds poor opinions of "WOMEN" that not only shop there pay his bills but also supports his funding by donating goods.AND he encourages like mind behavior in his employees.BUT HERES THE GOOD NEWS LADIES. DID YOU KNOW HE IS SPREADING THAT WOMEN ESPECIALLY WITH MONEY are thieves. As he told my husband who made the attempt to find out how unbalanced Mr. Johnson really is listening to him ramble on and deface women who spend hard earned monies there. After insulting me he further states Rich women come in all the time and change his tags.... all t
