Salvation Army

Far below what I have expected. This op shop is hopeless - travel down further around 600 Dominion Road and you'll meet a heavenly family store. When I asked where to put my wet umbrella/brolley this person YELLED at me. I did not do anything wrong. I merely asked politely where to place my wet umbrella/brolley. When: 14/06/21 14 July 2021, 1234 12:34pm Where: 200 Dominion Road Who: Female, white skin, brown hair, sky-blue scarf, navy Salvation Army shirt short sleeves, navy knee-length skirt, dark stockings, black shoes, tall and lean Why: She lacks hospitality skills What: Verbal bullying How: Nasty words, yelling i e.moderate verbal abuse I will thankfully leave and visit other stores. Never in my life I experienced this in any Salvation Army family store. p.s. This store is extravagant compared to other family stores. Not preferred

today i rang up the salvation army to tell them i had completed my application form .one staff member told me she was gonna send me her email so i can snap shot my application too her . and then another staff member told me that i had too go too the office too see the boss ,so i did and when i finally got there they sent me home making out too me that their boss isnt well avoid getting a job their as they will just mess u around

Beautifully well kept, tidy store and lovely, friendly staff. Huge vareity of household items, kitchen and clothing. I purchased 2 shirts and a hood jersey all for less than $40, all good quality and freshly cleaned, bargain! Highly recommended thank you

Good little store. Nice, clean and tidy! Staff are friendly, not as packed and over jammed as some other stores which is quite nice. Prices are okay, definitely worth having a look at.

Great charity shop well laid out and some good bargains to be found

Staff and warm and friendly, the store is kept clean. There's a wide variety of good's in great condition and good value for money. Unfortunately my visit today was slightly ruined by a Karen, who refused to wear a mask. Drama's! The staff acted appropriately despite being harassed by some fool who refused to wear a mask

Clean and tidy, good op shop

Walked in, no friendly greeting although once I approached with item's of purchase for a friend in need, the serving staff were friendly and helpful, that is until I enquired about an unpriced item. All was going well until the serving attendant came back and said that the manager was too busy to price the item, too busy to attend to a customer and give a few minutes for their right of purchase? Funds of purchase for the people of need and aid. Asked if I could put down a holding deposit and that I would come back, but was refused due to their policy, taken aback I asked if they could hold it for me and that I would return once it is priced and again I was told that my request was not their policy and not possible. Now as far as I'm aware, this is not a Policy stipulated by The Salvation Army, so it appeared that it was purely a personal decision from this charitable branch. I've worked in Charity for decades and have raised vast fund's for those in need. Never in my global working travel's have I come across such unprofessional management service. I was made to feel extremely uncomfortable and it was made very clear that they were happy to take my money but not my concerns. I have contacted Head Office and my hope is that the management & staff of this Charity Branch realise that direct customer service is the face of any charitable foundation and that part of that position, is to price item's donated when a customer is there with the fund's to purchase. A few minutes is all it takes to price an item and to ensure ongoing respect and appreciation towards your customers, just as every branch manager has done in the many state's that I've been to and worked with nationally and internationally, as your customers and their financial purchases are the lifeblood to your charitable organisations support and should be treated with professionalism and respect, always. As anger fades yet, disappointment lingers on and is decremental to any organisation/corporation/foundation. Kia kaha

Love the store. It has saved our family a truck load of money over the years. Great bargains to be had. For example I was looking for a suit for my son as he was about to venture out into the workforce. Found a lovely bespoke piece which fitted him like a glove. Saville Row tailor to boot. Checked out the price brand new - about 3 grand. Cost to us? About 30 dollars plus seventy to get the leg adjusted. Plenty of other examples I could think of. The staff are friendly and helpful.

I showed my mask exemption, as I wore a loose scarf and was asked to leave. When I think of the support I have given Salvation Army over the years I felt broken at the display of draconian discrimination and the glee that joined it. Saddened and disappointed.
