Reviews
"Pretty disappointed in this shop. Walked in with my 4 year old son to browse the store when he said to me that he needed the bathroom after a couple of minutes. I went to ask an older lovely team member if he could please use the toilet to avoid an accident. With the Store manager on her phone 1metre away which sounded like a personal call, the lady went out back to check with the assistant manager & they refused to let him use their facilities. I understand it’s not for public use however surely some compassion to a child!? After leaving the store to find a restroom, he had an accident! Perhaps a lesson in compassion & understanding would be useful to the Assistant manager who refused a 4year old today is needed & the SM to take personal calls OFF the floor!"
"Very disappointed on the prices and the rude manager. Way too overpriced considering they get everything for FREE!! Terrible and disgusting how this employees are trying to rip customers off"
"Very disappointed with the price rises. I have seen a dinner set in there for 3-4 mths and it’s only just been reduced but still outrageously priced. All these items are donated to op shops so whatever you make is a bonus. Have you wondered why you’re not getting people working at your stores. Perhaps you should rethink your prices. These items are DONATED to you!!! Seriously!! It’s no longer fun op shopping."
"rude staff with no compassion. my son had $4 of pocket money there was a toy for $5 he wanted to get it, I don't have any money so I could add to it, as i shop at op shops alot i know they are flexible with pricing sometimes. he left the op shop crying. you would think for a op shop they would have a bit more of a caring nature, expecially for the children. bunch of rude old ladys on a power trip, so sad. deffinitly my least favourite op shop."
"I was there recently and pleasantly surprised to hear a polite, professional reminder that they were going to close soon. A VERY nice change from their usual obnoxious "We're closing in five minutes" business. Most staff lovely, although not fond of the manager. I find her to be rude, abrupt and generally unpleasant."
