    Ugh make me sick. I live in a large city and have thrift stores big and small, and she is really not the typical clientele that frequents these stores. Ask the person beside you if they also just arrived back from a cruise. She must look so sorely out of place it makes me ache. Also of course she couldn’t shop a local thrift store and chooses the for-profit conglomerate

      I actually don’t mind the thrifting as I often hear that thrift stores have more than enough goods and a lot of it ends up being thrown out anyway but she definitely should be supporting smaller stores. We have several in my city that are operated by charities, for example.

        Yes! I mean please, go support a local business in your city and shout them out on your platform!! Also I didn’t think of it like that re: goods being thrown away, good point! At least she’s moving discarded items to her home instead of it becoming trash 😂
