The sorry state of thrift stores.

I had to make a surprise trip out of the house this morning and while I was out I thought I might as well stop at the local Goodwill  store and take a look around .Let me tell you that this was one sad store .Most of the time they dont have anything mind blowing but they will have at least an interesting selection of  newer toys to dig threw but not today. They had no toys what so ever ,no cartoon bed sheets ,no video games and only one interesting book. This book :
and to make things worse the people working in the store were blaring a profoundly filthy rap song about licking stuff and dancing inappropriately with 2 children nearby  in the store.I had to flag down the cashier to get her to ring up my book and then she rolled her eyes at me because I only had a 5 dollar bill and she had to give me change. its just been one of those day...sorry about the angry geek rant..I think Im going back to bed.

    1. My son could always find something and I had found a few things there over the years but I think that store is on its way to shutting down. just empty shelves romance novels and stacks of vcr's .

    1. The Salvation Army in my town closed a few years ago and is just another empty store front on the dead main street now.I guess everybody sells their stuff at a marked up price on ebay now instead of donating it.
