As the cost of living rises and online resale gains popularity, the thrift store is struggling to maintain its product assortment at a critical time.

Meanwhile something like 30% of all online orders (and way more in the case of clothes) get returned, and a majority of that then goes straight to landfill/incinerator.

An incinerator is a better destination for Amazon returns than the Salvation Army. Some thrift store should buy Amazon return crates and sell the stuff but the Salvation Army can go fuck themselves.

Considering the anti-LGBTQ+ and pro-conversion ‘therapy’ stance this organization has, they will not be missed if they disappear. There are less discriminatory organizations that people can support.

Perhaps if they were not such hateful fucks to certain segments of the population people would hate them a bit less.
