Thrift Shops aren't the problem, convienance is.

Woke up last night remembering some post bitching about how thrift shops suck now because they are all full of crappy shein fast fashion garbage and for some reason placing the blame on the shop and saying it has something to do with them being for profit. Which is both illogical and blatantly dosen't understand how thrift shops work. I worked for Savers years ago; I wasn't a sorter but a floor associate. But they made sure we knew how the process worked because people would ask us questions. So lets say you donate a shirt; it gets checked over by the sorters to see if its good enough to go on the sales floor- that is if it has any tears, stains, etc. If it is good enough, it gets a price tag and goes out onto the floor. If it isn't good enough, it either goes in the trash or into the send out bin. Basically items that are not good enough for americans to buy but are still technically wearable get sent off to 3rd world countries as donations. Because in some places a pair of shoes, even a worn pair, is still a pair of shoes. High value items are tagged and at least at savers placed in a special area near the registers. I know that goodwill has like an auction site for their high value items- so they definately send theirs out. But like one time a bridal shop closed and we had like 30 wedding dress samples all in that spot. In order to have enough merchandise, because sometimes donations are slow, savers ships the sorters unsorted pallets of donations from elsewhere to go through. Admittedly I don't remember where those come from. Items usually took a couple days to a week to get from the donation bin to the sales floor.

What does this tell us? Well the obvious actually, everything in the store is donated for the most part by the local population. They aren't picking out the namebrand items and sending them who knows where- in order to make money savers needs to sell those just the same. What this means is that people are donating more fast fashion items then they are donating name brand items. Why? Convienance. Who buys fast fashion items? 2 types of people generally. 1. Poor people who cannot afford name brand clothing who will likely wear the items until they fall apart. 2. Moderately wealthy people who want to be fashionable in the short term or even only want to wear an item once and want the items fast and cheap. They cannot afford the real garments the clothing is based on or cannot be bothered to look for them since SHEIN seemingly has it all and for cheap the number two person is our problem. They buy an excess of cheap clothing bc it is so cheap and after wearing it once or twice donate it all.

in the past this type of person would have purchased long term use clothing from brick and mortar stores or name brand websites; they owned fewer outfits and what they donated was well made and either didn’t fit them or despite being used was well enough made it didn’t matter.

Which is where we get to the other ugly part of a shirts lifespan. So let’s say you buy a shirt on Amazon. You realize you don’t like it- so you return it. In the old days that might have required proving why you don’t want it or going through some hoops. Now it’s easy as a click of a button and you just have to go to your local kohls or staples who deal with everything for you. It’s become wildly convenient- so that where in the past it might have been so inconvenient that you donate the shirt instead. See I work at staples now. I see so many consumerist returns I want to go and live in the woods. Yesterday I had a woman return 10 nearly identical yellow skirts because she wants one of a particular shade. Those 10 skirts go back to the Amazon warehouse where they will be place in a palette and sold and auction; entirely skipping the thrift store level. That shirt you returned will never make it to the thrift shop.

and the name brand stores in order to compete with Amazon follow suit with easy returns- the parent company that owns old navy/banana republic/gap/fabletics literally made its own type of returns service called express returns in order to compete. Staples processes these too so I see them. So much perfectly good clothing gets returned with it. One woman told me she bought it just for a baby shower photo shoot thing and because it’s so easy to return it’s no big deal.

and I’m sure you’ve noticed that name brand items are also being cheaper and less good quality. In some cases that’s because they realized that people will buy crap so they can make crap. In other cases it’s in order to compete. Depends on the brand. fast fashion items notably usually can’t be returned or it’s a hassle but bc they are so cheap, a lot of people don’t care leading to them being in thrift shops.

The presense of fast fashion items in thrift shops is a symptom of a suffering economy that has been pushed to the edge by a “now now now” mindset. And it sucks ass.

for once my sim builds look good.

#they were right #the key of making good builds are cramming as much shit as you can while making it still functional #also it helps that im not building a house but a thirft shop/cafe/concert venue #you'll go insane trying to build mansions all the timw #i prefer making community lots i think #or giant apartments where i can cram in as much as different themed rooms #sims 4 stuff

but anyway is the thrift store any good

i just wrote this in the tags of my other post like i said it was a really nice place but some of the stuff was not my style and the rest that i liked was slightly overpriced so yeah

#i mean by mall standards it was still quite cheap but the prices were still hanging around 800- 1500 for the better stuff #i Do Not have that kind of money most of my shopping happens in hill road or colaba causeway so #maybe if i was earning myself then i would have brought some stuff but yeahh that's basically it #ujwal <3 #asks #ALSO like. the clothes were in a decent condition some of them never worn before clearly but even then you don't really trust it as much #not that i had any doubts they were selling something fpr mall price 3.5k at 900₹ which was really cool but #personally i don't have any use for something valued that much im still in jr college and my everyday outfit is graphic tshirt and 3 jeans #its a good place to check out though!! first thirft place ive seen in india

honestly i was thinking abt how expensive clothes became lately just a few days ago

like things like band tees - simple black with a big print on the front and a small one on the back - were 60 nis when i was a teen, and we all got mad when the price raised to 70. now it's maybe at least 90, more commonly around 100 or even 120 in some places

bought pants earlier this week, when i was younger they'd be maybe 120 nis, 150 if they were high quality. now? 270 or even more, and probably for a lower quality product too

some button ups i buy online are very cute but aren't too high quality, not gonna find them for less than 120 nis, and they're usually closer to 170 even

when i was in middle school i could go to the mall with 300 nis and get a whole outfit or even two with some money left too. now i'm lucky to get even two pieces of clothing at all

isn't that depressing. like, buying clothes is already so hard, and now the prices are becoming impossibly higher too

and like. listen. before you tell me i can go to thirft shops. no i can't 👍 i'm fat 👍 even when i was younger they were never keeping any clothes my size, and now i'm even bigger. unless you're the type of person that can get into those "one size fits all" clothes you have a very low chance to find anything in those, at least in my country (not even getting into things like my sensory issues and mental issues about knowing someone already wore these clothes). that includes those very cheap shops you can find at city centers or randomly on the street, you won't find anything that goes beyond size L

#apologies for the rant that poll reminded me how angry i am over this #also i considered 'translating' the nis to usd but eh. europeans are the ones awake rn anyway so just do your own googling for reference

Have them be the captain of your ship, sell them in a thrift shop, carry them in a bag like a chihuahua

Tommy CASH, Jere, Häärijä

lmao Eryka i love these

Jere will be the captain of my ship (we're shipwrecked in an hour), because thirft shop wont pay as much as i could get off of him.

Häärijä will be sold there like an used lidl shoe.

Carrying Tommy in a bag like a chihuahua so i can pet his braids at all times and ask him questions to my life problems like a magic 8-ball.

Been feeling really dyshoric recently, and it's so incredibly frustrating. Like I want to start wearing a binder but

1. If a sports bra is too tight, I feel Iike I'm constricted, and then that makes me feel like I'm having an asthma attack

2. I don't have $40-$65 to spend on a binder

I just need to head to the thirft store to see if I can get some clothes that better suit me, but clothes shopping is so emotionally draining. I just don't have the spoons.

AND ANOTHER THING! what is considered "masculine" and what is considered "feminine" is so fucking arbitrary like...fuck you society for creating the concept of gender. I HATE YOU.

Commiserate with me plz

Or

Practical advice/tips would be welcomed
