Be Aware of The 'for profit' Thrift Store You've Loved For Years-It Seems Changes In Business Mean Changes for Customer Experience
Not going to mention company name becuz I don't want anyone pulling a 2016 and sending threatening emails so I get framed again.
This chain of clothing stores is a thrift or second hand kind of store. They get alot of criticism due to their for-profit business model instead of being a nonprofit. However the non profit chains aren't so great either anymore with true humanity and often hire people who seem more interested in woke politics or in protecting corruption locally instead of just minding their own business and taking care of the needy or the disabled people they hire.
I want to add that alot of programs and organizations geared towards helping people became infiltrated so it seemed after 9/11. There are probably reasons for this but I won't deal with this now at some point I will address the issue as well as sight examples. Please remember that good people still exist and the genuine goodness of the people who used to work in many positions pre 9/11 are still out there you just have to find them. Also be aware that people nowadays have had what is good or caring redefined for them by the power structure dictating what is moral and what makes people 'good'. Theres no more neighborhoods or true local culture so people are easily misled as to what is actually going on in the real world and with real people. The Internet is not real per se. It is another plane or dimension that's man made consisting of information about human reality. Many people especially younger people don't know the difference.
This thrift store chain is however very useful due to prices for clothing being lower and the ability to find older clothing which is now much better quality. Some locations are probably better than others depending on what the public donate. It's a great resource actually and has been for many years.
With its large stores and variety of items as well as it's simple one word name it has been successful and I believe they are international.
Recently in the past few years I've jnoticed a marked change in the experience of going to the store even different locations. The customers were a lot of trouble makers. Then very recently the employees have become problematic and customers are no longer causing trouble.
I could not figure this out until I began researching the business end of the store chain company.
It seems they changed ownership a few years ago and then again recently and on this time they've become publicly traded on the stock market. I think people working with the theories on this blog need to be aware when a company changes investors or owners and it seems very aware of going public for trading.
It seems becoming publicly traded means following politics and not strictly business.
Just a heads up.
