First time here. Finch was very polite and professional. She made the experience very pleasant and we shared a laugh at checkout. Great job!! She deserves a raise. You can't teach that sort of genuinity.

This is my favorite of the large Thrift Shops in Rochester… I always find quality items and the prices are low. It’s fun that they have discounts for certain colored tickets. The staff is always very kind and friendly.

This feels like one of the few thrift stores left that actually understands that it's a thrift shop, not a boutique. Excellent prices that are set to make items move off the floor, constant deals, very appealing color tag sales...very rarely do I pull an item off of a shelf and think to myself "jeez, that's what they're charging?", which seems to happen with every other item at Goodwill. I think this place has some of the nicest staff I've ever encountered in a thrift store too. I always end up having really lovely conversations with the cashiers about my purchases when they ring me up, which I enjoy. And on the off chance that an item isn't tagged, they're willing to offer a price on the spot (don't use that information to pull off tags - A, it's a charity organization, so don't be a jerk, and B, if you have too many untagged items, they'll absolutely know you're up to something. I've seen it happen!). I understand why Goodwill doesn't do that because they have a very specific tagging system tied to their pricing team, but it is very nice to not have to put an item back because a tag happened to fall off somewhere. I think my favorite deal here is their flat rate pricing on stuffed animals - $0.99 for pretty much any stuffed animal, with the exception of very large or complex ones (which end up being, like, $3 anyway). Not only is this a wonderful deal for me as an adult toy collector, but I often see very ecstatic children bounding out of the store with at least one given the low price; either it's something they can afford or their parents feel comfortable spending the money on. And I feel like that's what thrifting is all about at the end of the day.
