Called and ask about taking some things in for sale. Told the woman on the telephone that I had several suits that I wanted to bring in. She responded "you must have 20 pieces." My response was that I did and that I was finally getting business suits out of my closet. She repeated the 20 item requirement and stated that the items had to be in season. I hurriedly gathered several suits, skirts, blouses and jackets and carried them in only to be met by this rude lady informing me that they did not take clothes that were three years or older. I attempted to explain to her that I had called and gave a fairly detailed description of what I wanting to bring in and was not told that they would not accept clothing that was older than three years. The rude woman said they would look through them and give me a call the next day. The next day after returning home from the Y, I picked up a message left on my home phone stating they could not open an account for me and asking that I pick the clothes up by 6:00PM that day(Friday) or no later than closing on Saturday. The message further stated that if I did not pick them up, they would be given to the Rescue Mission. I was very angry and felt that I wasted my time. In fact, the very day I dropped the items off, I left with a bad feeling. I feel rather certain that no one looked at my items. They were bunched together in the bags that covered them when I delivered them the afternoon before. I have never felt so humiliated and degraded as I did with this experience. Some of the items had the original sales tags on them and had never been worn. I will never ever go near that snobby shop again.

Why is this place still in business!? As human beings are we becoming so conditioned to living in an automation society that we no longer require good customer service skills! These people are inhumane! They dont even attempt to be kind to their customers, offer any help, answer questions or even help you carry large purchases out of the store. I have made the mistake of shopping there twice - I will NEVER make that mistake again! The employees need severe and immediate training in customer service and a diversity initiative. On another note, if you want a good customer experience, friendly service and great prices, just go a little further around the corner to the new consignment store thats opened next door the photo studio and for furniture look no further than Shabbytiques owned by a lovely, ecclectic lady named Audrey. Just AVOID snob altogether, just go around the corner start at Elizabeths (on the corner) and work your up the road - youll be glad you did! Personally, Im never going back to snob (and when I leave I take my blessings with me) I deserve to be treated well in any place where I am spending my hard earned money and I hope those snobs are soon put out of business when other people demand better as well!

I think I have had my worst shopping experience in this little store! The people that work there at absolutely "snobs". They are "too busy" to answer questions about their items, to say hello and greet customers, to even help you to your car with a large purchase. I have been in this establishment twice in the past 2 years, (second experience only more unpleasant than the first) and will NEVER go back! Too bad for them....I have a lot of money and love shopping consignment! My recommendations for good deals and great people: clothing? Handpicked consignments in the Bethanina Mill Village & Shoppes! furniture? Elizabeths at West End (right around the corner from the Snobby shop)

STAY AWAY!!! I recently tried to sell some clothing to "the snobs." Upon calling they said, "Were only taking Spring, and if you dont have an account with us, we wont take it. Oh, and after you set up an account, youll need to donate at least 25 pieces before you can start your membership." "Donate" pieces to business so they can make money off of them? Its not like they are running a charity here. Absolutely ridiculous. I will never sell or shop here. What a ripoff.

Ive read some of the comments and am fairly shocked. This place it great! The staff is more than helpful and the selection is incredible. One would have to think that some of these people that complain about them being "too snobby" are put off by the fact The Snob Shop did not want their ugly clothes. To that I say... "GOOD!!!! I dont have time to look through nasty clothes." I am glad they are picky and I visit there often!

I have found several pairs of Cole Haan shoes, a couple Coach bags and a lovely Vera Wang dress for a Fall wedding at very reasonable prices. They arent always the most friendly but the prices are right and they always have quality clothes and accessories. Check by often as they are always getting in new things!

I love the Snob Shop. You never know what youre going to find, but you always find something you NEED! From jewelry, to designer handbags and higher end clothes, they have a mix of everything. The staff is great and always friendly. I never miss a chance to go to the Snob.

Extremely rude when you call in to try and sell items. I had no idea about the "donation" policy, and when I inquired the woman on the other end was short and well- snobby! I have been to the shop and the selection is really not that impressive either. Do not recommend.

Easily the best consignment shop in Winston. Excellent service and designer clothing you would never find in a place like ETC. Been open for at least forty years in the same location. Well respected and well regarded.

The sign may say they close at 6, but they start trying to push you out at 5.
