Value Village is a thrift store and everything that goes on our floor is through donations from people (which is tax deductible since we pay non profits) and from non profits via trucks and trailers. So we basically pay non profit organizations for their merchandise which allows them to continue to do the things they do. It's a fantastic company and I am extremely happy to be a part of it.

Mine too. Mostly I just drop stuff off there but I always look around. I've found a few Halloween costumes there in past years.

I actually work in the front of the same store.

So I deal with the idiots. If it wasn't for the fact that I mildly tolerate most of the people I work with, I'd call my soul dead by now. Then again I've been in retail for about 10 years and my faith in humanity dwindles daily.

don't waste your money on apple products. Talk to someone at Best Buy and ask them what other tablets you could get.

I'm rocking the Nexus 7 HD but it all depends on if you want a larger screen or not there are plenty of other options.

Me too. I worked fast food so it was more like people trying to get free food, but same difference. The **** do I care if they get **** they didn't pay for? it's not my **** and I could give a **** about the company I work for. If the manager wants to make an issue of it then they can feel free, but ignoring them lets them leave quicker anyway so I can get back to leaning against stuff.
