The Salvation Army Family Store & Donation Center, St. Louis MO

Ive shopped here many times over the years (10+) This time today when I went there I puchased a few clothing items and also had some shoes. The shoes had a price tag for $2.00. This woman at the counter says we cannot sell you these this is not the correct price. I say, ok whats a reasonable price for them? The woman says again we cannot sell you these shoes. I say, may I ask you a question? She repeats herself again and keeps talking over me not letting me get a word in edge wise. I repeat myself about 5 times after she says the same long winded speech over and over, and I again say, "I understand that I heard you, but may I ask you a different question? She will not answer me and just keeps repeating. Finally two other coworkers come over who are more reasonable and ask me what my wuestion is to which they give me an answer. I was told her name was tasha and she claimed to be the mgr. I have reported this to salvation army hotline and they said they will be getting back to me. I am a christian and one of my good friends has family that were high ranking in the salvation army. This experience was unbelievable I sensed definite hostility from this gal for no apparent reason and I even had on a christian design shirt when I went there. Very strange employee here. Other employees I met here were very pleasant. I do not think she is a Christian to be acting like that.

THIS SHOULD BE NO STARS BUT IT WOULDN'T LET ME DO THIS. WE WENT TODAY TO SEE HOW IT WAS COMPARED TO THRIFT STORES WHERE I LIVE AND IT WAS HORRIBLE. IT WAS STINKING AND WAS DIRTY. IT LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD NEVER CLEANED. THE PRICES WERE TERRIBLE. THEY HAD PICTURE FRAMES, SMALL ONES FOR $4.99. THEY ALSO HAD A KITCHEN TABLE AND 4 CHAIRS FOR $250.00. IT WAS SCRATCHED UP REALLY BAD. YOU CAN A BRAND NEW ONE FOR THAT PRICE. THIS PLACE IS A JOKE AND SHOULD BE CLOSED DOWN.

Sign at checkout says cash only. Wish I had known that ahead of time. Also the bathroom is not handicap accessible, you need to get the key and the lock is too high for anyone in a wheelchair to reach. To exit you need to be standing to unlock the door. The bathroom was filthy and there was no soap.

Great place to shop, large inventory, great people and low prices!
Great place to live (especially for men with chemical addictions!
Great place to work (men get to pay their keep including meals!

My fiance went to the Salvation Army on Forrest Park Parkway and its about the most scandalous place you could ever be at! All the stuff that is donated the people in charge get first picks of all donations. An I mean they take whatever they want. One guy in the treatment center told the higher manager & that manager went to the guys in charge and told them who reported them. After that the guys he told on went to him and told him loose lips sink ships & kicked him out of the program. So the men in charge jeopardize that man's sobriety because they were stealing from the Salvation Army got reported for doing wrong and then did something even worse! I will never donated to this place nor will I ever spend my money there. All these men that work there were in the program there self & they are supposed to be working an honest program but.instead they are stealing from the nice people who are donating their nice things to raise money to help the needy & the men working for the Salvation Army are not the needy!

Everything is overpriced. If you want to pay $200 bucks for a chair from a thrift store, this is the place for you.update:
Came back just to see if they had any good sales… and let me tell you, they did not. I am astonish by the price of things every time I go inside. Today, I found a pillow that was $21. I literally cannot believe that.if you want to thrift, save yourself the time and go to the Goodwill bins down the street. You can find a way better items for a fraction of the price.

This place is literally a scam. I saw them selling target clearance shoes, and the tags were partially torn off because they were selling them at a higher price. I will never support the store. I am honestly disgusted by how much they charge people.

Wonderful experience with great items and deals! The women working were so friendly and kind!

Lots of great deals on cute thrifted stuff. Also the ladies working were so friendly and nice! 5 stars for them!

Please donate to this place if you can! People are nice, location is easy for donation and they pick up. Also the store is as organized as possible and very fair or low prices

Leaving a review just for the one and only Tammy! She is the shining star cashier! Sister Girl is the best!

The prices are outrageous! It seems that the employees keep the good stuff and only put the old, dirty items out. You can get better, NEW items from Macys Backstage.

Not sure how to drop stuff off at this location. Signs are around for scheduling a pick up but no signs indicated where to drop off if you have a truck full of goods or if ya need to go inside to do so or if they even accept donations there.
