  More like its $31.50 that charities can use to help working moms that scalpers pay to get a coat they can sell for $130.

    Then they aren’t a thrift store and should stop deceptively marketing themselves as one. Furthermore their “programs” are shit. If they just paid their employees then they could afford the online courses without the administrative overhead.

      That’s how all charity thrift stores work. That’s how they have always worked. The retail sales power the charity. Goodwill, habitat for humanity, salvation army, on and on. I have some local ones that pay for animal shelters.

      They all sell donated items to make money for the charity.

        And yet Habitat for Humanity manages to build houses while it’s stores are actually thrift stores.
