Charity shop whinge

Recommended Posts

I can't be the only person who finds the "Reservation" policy of the furniture branch of St Christopher's charity shop infuriating?

10.30 and the stuff in the new window display is already all reserved. So now I have to pass it for a fortnight looking at something I would have liked to buy and can't. If it had just come in and gone out, well, ignorance is bliss.

And apparently they pay for a window dresser and have all the trouble of phoning people about their reservations after

Why?

You're a shop. Sell stuff. Don't put it out and then say "you can't have it"

Yes, I've noticed that and find it infuriating..I've never actually seen anything I can buy in the window.

What they should do is a no reservations policy and items in window get sold 10am Saturday (give the full time workers a chance) and then its on a first come first served basis.

OR get an ebay account-put items in window with a link to the listing and let them go to the highs bidder-they'd also raise more that way-and could put a low reserve on the items so they don't lose out.

OR..EVEN Better post them on the for sale section of this forum with links.

    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him 
    • It was my understanding that Jeremy Corbyn was embarrassed by his brother and had distanced himself from his brother's views. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Why on earth should "the overall view of that family inform Jeremy's response to the pandemic"? What exactly are you basing that assumption on?
    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant.
