Thrift on Blackstone - Fresno, California

If I could give it 0 stars I would. Horrible customer service. The cashiers of this store were racist for no reason. My family and I walked in at 3:30 PM...the store closed at 4:00 PM. Immediately after we walked into the store one of the cashiers yelled that we only have 20 minutes to shop. My family and I browsed the store as quick as we could until about 3:43 PM. At this time the cashier yelled that we only had 5 minutes left to shop. My family and I were confused because we thought that the store closed at 4:00 PM, but we didn't pay too much attention to it. About a minute later 2 white girls walked into the store. She told them that they had 10 minutes to shop. We quickly realized that the way we were being treated was based on the color of our skin. My younger sister had some items that she wanted to purchase, I stayed with her because I did not want these two white ladies being rude or getting smart with her. As she scanned my younger sisters items, I questioned her on why she said two different times to the 2 white girls who had recently walked in and to my family. She said "sorry" and began to drop the money my younger sister had given her. I'm not sure if she was under the influence or was startled by me confronting her on the situation. Overall, they were both weird and odd. This was my families first and last time ever shopping here.

A big thank you to the gentleman at the cash counter for your kind welcome. We have just moved across the pond from England, still trying to find our feet. You were very lovely and gifted my young children a couple of cuddly toys as a welcome! Very thoughtful.

This store is always so artistically decorated by the manager, which makes it a joy to see what she will create next. Items are well displayed and the store is nice and clean. Friendly employees and shopping for a charitable cause makes shopping at this store a joy!

this is a pretty nice little thrift store. I always find a staff to be nice. The prices are fairly reasonable, but like a lot of thrift stores these days - Some of the prices are a little high. It’s certainly worth a looksee if you enjoy thrifting

Played oldies, decorated very nicely, really sweet ladies. Not a lot of thrift stores in Fresno area that is not a goodwill. Will come again. Highly recommend. Found some shirts for work and all for $5! Best bang for your buck!!

Some things were overpriced (a small ball of yarn was $7!), but you could still find deals. Not very friendly in there and the music was really funky (or creepy as my kids were saying). I may try it again when I go thrifting. ? idk, we'll see.

I've got a bad habit of always running late & even when I've come in right before closing time they always let me take a quick look around, & I like the colored tag sales they do each week. I don't always find something, but when I do the prices are usually very good to excellent. I go out of my way to make it here before the other stores in the area, especially on saturdays since they close at 4. Last time in I only had 10 minutes, but while I was looking they announced that everything was 50% off so I grabbed a handful of items & went to the register so I wouldn't be keeping them late. Everyone likes to close on time, can't blame them for that. I've shown up early in the day & I think it throws them off that it's not 5 like usual when I come in. Probably see you tomorrow or Saturday. Thanks for your patience with me.

THE STORY OF CART ?
⛔️ READ THIS IF YOU DONT WANT TO HET HEART ATTACK IN THE STORE!
COSTUMER SERVICE ALERT! ❌❌❌ONE OF THE LADY THAT WORKS HERE WAS VERY RUDE TO ASIAN COUPLE EARLIER!

this is the story… I witnessed a most racial discrimination! …
the lady worker there Was very Rude! i don’t know the exact name but, I believe she’s the tall white bland lady kinda big with Tattoos.

I was there this afternoon looking for book in the store …and there was a very nice couple just scouting and searching books properly. I don’t know them personally, but they are just there looking for books just like me… And upon searching… I heard the sales lady yelled loud told the Asian Men in the books area where I am at, who is looking for books saying ‘HEY! Men, return the book properly because You Know they are arrange Accordingly! i organized them! with my surprise I was like … this men is just looking for books properly and his not changing the position of books whatsoever, in My mind ..I was like J* Dang?! they are strict?! )And so I am just being quite and Mind my business?……….. After few minutes again……. RUDE SALES LADY STAND up and walk towards the Wife of the Asian Men and told that very innocent lady “ hey I have to get the Cart YOU ARE USING because, this cart are for “costumers” only! And I was total shock because Isn’t that Young Lady a costumer too! like wait .. whatTTTTT and the Asian lady answer her in a Nice polite manner I am Costumer here too Maam’ I am going to buy books too’ So why i can’t have a Cart? but, despite the explanation. The sales lady keeps saying that the cart is for ‘Costumer only’ and we have other costumers who might use it later. Rude lady said that she has to pull out the cart because the lady’s bag is just setting there!? And Since she has No stuffs in her cart yet, she should just used 1 cart with the Husband….. And i was like …… what a rude SALE lady! that’s NOT RIGHT! If that’s me i’ll totally call her Manager and fire her! right away! like what’s wrong with this Sales lady? I was so upset that I just WALKED OUT THE STORE AND Leave!

I want to say Something earlier…. but i know it’s not My business to interrupt that’s why, I am writing this letter to who ever owns this Thriftstore because I beileve costumers should be treated EQUALY regarding of their Color, Race, Sex, Nationality etc.

in addition, to describe the RUDE WHITE LADY there, she looks like she’s doped! I was so upset that this happen! That white “KAREN” lady that works there needs to be reprimanded because of her harsh, disagreeable and Bad manner towards the nice costumer! Like I am totally turned off, i love the store but that Rude lady ruin it! I would not recommend this store if you colored❌ and Agin Store should place a sign there about there STUPID CART RULEs! I WOULD NEVER COME BACK THIS STORE AGAIN! RACIST! ❌❌❌❌❌THAT RUDE LADY NEEDS TO BE TRAINED ON HOW TO TREAT HUMAN NOT ANIMMALS!?
