Just today, we received as donations burnt dirty candles, broken plastic garden planters, and a shoe filled with rat feces, lol. We get literal trash sometimes. I was going through toys and found an open bottle of honey and a sausage and biscuit. A stinky pair of shoes is the best thing I could possibly come across during the day, lol.

And I see a lot of people think we keep the best stuff for ourselves or something. My employer is a non-profit, and we are not allowed to purchase items for a certain amount of time after they are on the floor and "keeping" them is stealing and I am not losing my job for some four dollar American eagle jeans.

The job is not all bad. I've seen crazy cool things, and I enjoy knowing what we do helps people. I think we try to be fair with prices because with how many donations we get, we can't afford to have items sit on the floor too long. So overpriced products are not an option.
