I witnessed a white woman pay $200 for a sofa at this thrift store. She then turned around and wanted a small miscellaneous item. The woman at the counter said "just give it to her for free, she just spent $200 on a couch." Five minutes later a Hispanic woman who was scrounging for change attempted to purchase a camisol. She clearly didnt speak English fluently and was also clearly more hard pressed for cash than the white woman. She was 25 cents short of the ticketed price for the camisol. The woman at the counter was rude and completely demeaning when explaining to this woman that she could not have the shirt because she was shy of change. I felt that this was absolutely ourrageous behavior so I spoke my mind and put the things I was going to purchase back and exited the store. Its unbelievable to me that this kind of injustice is tolerated. This organization has an opportunity to provide services for those in need and is clearly abusing their sense of power. Its unfortunate because as a consumer if I chose to spend money here I am supporting a corrupt establishment. If I dont spend money here then my money cant go to our local shelter to help feed people in need. It really sucks either way! It makes me so sad.

Yes they can have some decent items-that benefit the homeless- but THAT lady older shorter glasses apparently the boss. Sometimes Not very nice. She kinda shoots from the hip-randomly-pricing that is. Nothing like Boot Straps or Second Glance. she would rather sit on it than sell it. If you have lets say The Thrift Store Crawl Coupon It ONLY applies in "Certain Areas" of the store-shoots from the hip? No where on that ticket does it say that-Yes it does say not valid on special events... I once asked a price on a certain item there was a set she priced Each one differently and the one I liked she made just a few dollars more so my coupon would Not apply. When I said thats a random number she just stared at me. I decided that day in my mind "What kind of person Is she"-She would rather SIT ON IT THAN SELL IT! The name of the game in Thrift Store IS TO SELL- to benefit the people it is set up for. AND it is Still there damaged as it was -no one bought it...

Having recently moved to Salem from Boston, I expected Lifebridge Thrift Store to be, well.. a thrift store. It is in the sense that they offer used furniture, clothing, electronics, etc etc - However they do not offer the same thrift shop prices that you would find at places such as Goodwill, Salvation Army, etc etc. The staff is nice enough, although they seem to think people are oblivious to what a thrift store actually is.

They had nice things but the customer service was terrible. It was my first time visiting the store and my last. There were two ladies at Counter who were so rude to these Hispanic ladies. Basically yelling at them because they asked for an extra bag. The women did not speak English and were basically degraded in front of the whole store. It was terrible.

Great store for those with an eye for value. Books, CDs clothes, furniture. Browse around. If you dont see anything that you want, come back in a week or two. I found a chair that I had been looking for for two years. Incredible price, delivered. I couldnt be happier with Lifebridge Thrift.

Prices arent low... for a thrift store 3 light jackets, two shirts and a pair jeans should cost $50.. save your money... go to danvers.... honestly. .. this shop is connected with a HOMELESS SHELTER... no one should be paying $15 for a used shirt....

High-quality thrift shop. Great clothes, furniture, and decor. A little pricier than most, but worth it. Also, youre helping a good cause.

A terrific store with quality goods at low prices. Better not wait on buying something if you like it. Fast turnover. Many high-end items.

another overpriced thrift. anything with a trace of rust, ageing or patina, on it expect to pay an arm and a leg for the "antique".

Good selection of eclectic goods. Non- profit raises money for homeless services.
