Editorial Review for Out of the Closet Thrift Store – by Harper Madden
In Short
This L.A. institution on the thrift shop circuit benefits the AIDS Healthcare Foundation. Inside, expect a haphazard smattering of furniture, clothing and housewares, some of which is a solid step up from Goodwill and Salvation Army inventories. A hodgepodge of folks patronize the place, from college kids looking for first apartment furnishings to seasoned bargain hunters. The staff is approachable and strives to be helpful.

I tried donating several pieces of furniture to this thrift store. The person who answered the phone and the manager were extremely condescending, had an nasty additude. They kept telling me that if I did not have a hutch to donate to them "they were just not interested". The cause is right, the staff is wrong. I called the Salvation Army and they will be here in the morning to pick up two very expensive night stands. I WOULD NEVER HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THESE HATEFUL PEOPLE AGAIN!
Pros: The do raise money for aids
Cons: The staff is nasty. They need an additude adjustment

The people that run this store are small, spiteful and awful people. They may raise money for a worthy cause, but in the mean time they feel perfectly comfortable degrading people who are patrons of their store. I can guarentee that I will no longer shop there nor will I ever give another penny to the cause that they raise money for. Shame, shame, shame on them.
Pros: cheap
Cons: jerks run the place
