S	Sandra Tkaczuk on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I love this thrift store. The people are friendly and very helpful.I always find a good deal and sometimes they give me an even better deal on some items.
M	Ms Brunelle on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ It's an ok thrift store. The prices are kind of high like a consignment store but you can find a lot of nice stuff. The shopping experience is weird. The people working there stare at me while I'm shopping and follow me around the store like I'm stealing even though I spend $20 to $50 everytime I'm there on their overpriced stuff. I figure it's for a good cause but I kind of feel like I'm being treated like a criminal when I haven't even done anything. I get weird vibes from the staff like they dont want me there. Not a great way to treat customers but their volunteers so I guess you get what you pay for. It's still strange and I hope it's just me they treat like that otherwise they're probably making a lot of people uncomfortable. I only get treated like that at this store and I dont really like it. I avoid it if at all possible but thrift shopping is my hobby so a good find is better than some weird looks by some crusty people.
S	Susan Smith on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Before I even walked in I was shocked to see some old wooden chairs priced at 300 dollars..marked down from 450. The prices were crazy for a 2nd hand shop. I was also denied access to their bathroom. Not a good way to build a reputation with your public. I used to shop there years ago and got great deals..so it's sad that they are now gouging people for often junky stock. I do not recommend this store at all.
T	Tania Gabriela Aguila-Way on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I came into the Walton street location today with my five-year old in tow and was treated incredibly rudely by the staff. From the moment my son and I walked into the store, I noticed that the storekeeper was keeping a sharp eye on us , and at one point, when my son trailed a little too far behind me for her comfort, she VERY LOUDLY yelled out, "Can you please make sure that your son stays next to you?!?!?" Her tone was so rude and condescending that an elderly lady who was browsing nearby turned to me and said, "When did thrift stores become so elite???" What is more, the storekeeper's rebuke was completely uncalled for, as my son was busy playing on his tablet. He wasn't touching anything, running around the store, or being disruptive in any way, so I don't know why the storekeeper the need to make it known that his presence was unwelcome. Being a woman of colour, I was left wondering if racial profiling had anything to do with the treatment my son and I received... In any case, I felt so unwelcome that I left the store very quickly and made my way down to G. Facey's, where I had an excellent shopping experience and received proper customer service from a friendly staff who didn't seem to mind my son's presence at all.

M	Maria Papaioannoy-Duic on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My Favourite second hand shop! They have great products great prices. One on the best thing things about this shop is how creative they are. They have amazing displays seriously the way they repurpose furniture to creative unique one of a kind installations. It so easy to be inspired just walking in.
