Comments by "Joe R M" (@joermnyc) on "The TRUTH About Chain Thrift Stores" video.

Here in NYC there’s “Housing Works” a charity that runs thrift shops to help with HIV/AIDS and homelessness… but pre-pandemic they were exposed for attempting to union-bust their employees who had legitimate concerns about pay and workplace safety and tried to organize into a union. There was one of these by us, but the only time I went in there was because they had an old Univox hollow body electric guitar in the window… nobody knew anything about it, didn’t know if it actually worked, wouldn’t let me come back to test it out, and a quick check on Reverb showed that they were charging way above market rate for it. That shop closed during the COVID (they removed all the items and left the store empty for months until they lost their lease… now it’s a giant nail salon)
