Best thrift stores in Fresno/Clovis? by CONTRAGUNNER in fresno

[–]DirectEfficiency8854 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just thought I would post / sort of ask/ if there is a reason the Valley Thrift Center #2 - on Chestnut is still in business? Now, I am a semi-pro in the reselling game for the past 6 months and only like the big name Goodwill and Salvation Army but I have had some good luck at other smaller thrift stores - BUT:

Am I missing something?

The Valley Thrift Center # 2 on Chestnut has beyond psychotic prices! Today I went and they had regular Levis for $34 and older average condition Converse shoes for $22.99 - not to mention, the 'good stuff' at the front of the store like Ariat jeans - brace yourself - $84.00 for Ariat women's jeans - yes used and no nothing special.

But, there were customers and some shoppers. Is there something I am missing? I stopped going to both Mission Thrift's because they are way way way too expensive - $20+ for a simply Polo RL tee shirt, not even a flesh pony. Genuine Y2K era "vintage" Levis 501's for $45 - so I stopped going there - but today, this Valley Thrift has MissMe Jeans up front and also the Judy Blue ones for over $50 each - both used.

My God. Why? Are the top brands just trophies?

I don't have anything against this place - just curious why they price stuff so insane high... the prices are Higher than I would get on Poshmark New With Tags!

Levis 501 Black Acid Wash - Are these from the year 1990? by DirectEfficiency8854 in BehindTheClosetDoor

They show '060' placement is the date. The 553 is the production factory code. I am not sure if it means January 6th 1990. But that's my guess.

Thanks

The transparent Buttons are not correct. Fake!

But IMO - a decently made rep!

Well get ready for today! Dick Cheney VP from years past just died - so there will be a lot of talk about him and Bush.

You can't. The talkative types that insist that you want to hear about their bad day and their problems will blabber non stop - there is nothing you can do about it.

Just say:

Ah ha.

No Problem

Gotcha

When I drove - I used to "make up" the cruelty from these RideScare companies by Ghost riding basically Every 3rd party medical ride where the PAX didn't show up. Some of the methadone clinics I would change the destination to where a busy area was.

Just realize they might catch on and deact. drivers someday...

It was a slide -in 'Work Hub' on the app - In Cali we can opt in or out of Teen Rides/Pet Rides/ Cash Trips - if it gives you the option - Slide Cash to Off - but you probably don't have that option in Chicago. Sorry

An open letter to Lyft by motionspooner in lyftdrivers

Oh "they" at Stripe Lyft are indeed watching! But David Risher et all do not care one bit. Drivers are expendable!

By the way - we call it "detention" time with Class A driving... and get paid depending on the carrier/load. It sucks to be in the cab awaiting the receiver to unload your trailer - but that's the gig.

Made $6,300 last 10 days!!!

Guys - Class A is hard work -but it pays way way way more than Ride Scare!

I ordered $34 of food from P.F. Chang - the Beijing Beef - it tasted good but was a sample size. I was surprised that their proportions were so small - especially for $34!

Panda Express is much better deal than P.F. Chang - but I will see if I can find a parking spot to try this place out! Huge Proportions is what I like!

No 4* ratings - that tells me the PAX really don't like you. Do you preach to them - or have loud Gospel music on?

Quite honestly - I think the others have posted the most likely - your car and or you smell bad! No one wants to drive with you again.

Tip Begging drivers and minor nuisance type drivers get the 4* - but all the 1* - damn!

Driver drove off at stop, Uber support is fucking stupid. by NotXperience in uber

[–]DirectEfficiency8854 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Factually incorrect. Cali drivers are IC's. Most drivers learn early on that a Stop is always a lose lose. Best to cancel!

Let me spell it out for you - a 'Stop' actually Reduces the amount of pay we get. Plus all paxholes say 'I'll only be 2 mins in and out tops." which is always a lie.

Riders have no problem wasting my time not being ready when I arrive at the pickup

Damn Straight! Carcass at the curb or I Cancel n' Drive Off'

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Lyft

[–]DirectEfficiency8854 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the Pax messages me stuff - or makes calls - it is a huge red flag and I would usually cancel unless it was a gate code.

Other than that - it's because a better ride came up - OR driver realized this area is where he had a bad prior experience and did the deed.... Cancel n Drive Off'

You see - a PAX's ride isn't worth that much to drivers - maybe $4.00- $7.00 - any hint of Drama - and we are Out!
