I used to work for America's version of Value Village and I wanted to add on a few things you talked about! Tag colors change weekly, so fresh items aren't always given yellow tags, you can tell what the new tag color is by the last few digits on the tag which should correspond to the current calendar week unless in a case where old stock is being re-purposed to the sales floor (which usually happens around holidays) in which case the tags might be from years prior. The 30% of items that aren't put on the sales floor are almost always too dirty and damaged to sell, managers push employees to put things out even if it doesn't pass a "personal" inspection because they want more money, if they allowed employees first pick there would be no need for the 48 hour no buying rule. Nothing is washed or cleaned by the store, ever. Almost all usable and unsold clothing gets crated up and sent to countries in need, but very little of their actual proceeds seem to go to charities but they do purchase stock from local charities. And stock is replenished all day from 9am-5pm which is when most of the "production" staff is working, they don't usually work weekends so if the weekends seem dry for new items that's why!
It wasn't much, but a few years back when I bought my daughter a pair of jeans for $4.99, we got home and I washed it with the rest of the laundry. When I went to fold the clothes, I stuck my hand in the back pocket cuz a corner of something was sticking out.. I pulled out a $5 😊 lol so I practically got it for free and my daughter got to put the money in her piggy bank haha so since then, I check EVERY pocket! But so far, nothing since then lol
the yellow tags arent the new tags, they have new colours for every week
Yellow isn't new every week .. they have a colour system of like 6 colours each colour is a week last week was yellow week 44 .. next week will be week 45 and a different colour they go in order on.a chart .. each day of the week is numbered Sunday is day 1 and so on til Saturday.. so if say week is this past week yellow week 44 and it's Tuesday and an item comes out that day it will say 443 on the tag .. 44 for the week of the year and 3 for Tuesday 😁
Hey NaeNae, Christopher and Carol🎄
Awwww....glad to see you and Nancy getting together! ❤❤❤
A worker friend of friend said they scan, tag, hide and sometimes it doesn't hit the "floor" so they can purchase them.
Hopefully they won’t get caught; it’s a firing offense to hide product so you can buy it.
Some people just have such low work ethics and don’t have a shred of shame doing shady stuff like that
@@user-mp2vu6xl8p Big deal. It was probably something you didn't want or not in your size anyhoo.
Lol, i've seen a 2 dollar game going for 20 at value village. No joke!
You probably dont give a shit but if you are stoned like me atm then you can stream pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend for the last days xD
@Gus Kian Yea, have been using InstaFlixxer for years myself :D
Where I work, when you donate, your donating on behalf of our non profit partner which is the cerebral palsy Association. We then have to pay the CPA to buy those donations back. Then when we buy them back we now ship the clothes and shoes, accessories, jewelry and books to a warehouse and they have people price them there. Then ship them back to our store and the production team rolls the products on the floor. The houseware and furniture items we do price in store as well. Tag Color’s = how old the product is by the week. We recycle anything we can that’s doesn’t sell and money from that but the things we have no choice but to garbage we have to compact and we lose money from that. We always try sell what we can so if you see something pricey and it’s below average condition you can ask for a low price but 40% they will say no
Love ur vlogs !:) always make me wanna shop n find goodies
Reason why some stuff doesn't get to floor is also cuz ppl donate thier house hold garbage yes garbage because some areas only allow so many bags of pick up so ppl donate thier garbage .. and yes it gets weight and paid to the charity ..
You're spot on, I work at a Value Village and we get a good amount of trash.
Heads up about tag colours, they rotate every week. It's how staff can keep track of how long something is on the floor. There's no way we could change the tags on every item every week. Easiest thing to do is ask an employee what colour they're on this week and you'll know what's new and fresh.
Wow your leacking them out. Now you need a movie deal your amazeing fili goodmorning
helluuuuuurrrrrr !!! You must know am loving this !!!!!
It's not just yellow tags that are new. We put out a new color every week. After 5 weeks the color tag will become 50% off.
Ooo there's a 50% off sale at platos girl! Including lululemon! I found a nice VS pink legging for my daughter, and a.highwasted nike legging for myself. Only at the St james location on today tooooo
Something people need to understand about VV/Savers is that they pay most of their sorting and production staff full-time and give them benefits. That’s extremely rare for retail these days. Their pricing model reflects this. When you see something that you know costs less at another thrift store, it’s because that money is going towards their employees’ health and to support them, whereas non-profit shops typically don’t give that much to their few paid employees.
It is also a fireable offense for staff to hide items to get past the two-day waiting rule. They also get some trouble if they call someone to buy an item for them as soon as they put it out to the floor.
For clothing pricing, the pricers don’t actually get to choose the dollar amount that goes onto an individual item. They choose a grade - the quality of clothing based on its condition - and considering that and the brand together, the machine spits out a predetermined price. Do they get a higher price sometimes? Definitely, but it isn’t done maliciously or in an effort to wring more money out of customers. For housewares pricing, unless something has a previous price sticker on it, it’s entirely guesswork. The only things they look up for pricing are collectibles or things that are clearly high value, like expensive kitchen appliances.
Staff have quotas they need to reach every day for both how many items they put out to the floor AND how many pounds of donations they sort through. It’s an incredibly frustrating, high-pressure job. There isn’t a lot of time for cleaning or checking every single item, as much as staff wish that wasn’t the case. Having to process over 5,000 pounds of clothing a day, around 1,500 to 2,000 pounds of housewares and over 1,000 pounds of books every day is HARD, even when working in teams.
Keep all of these things in mind when you shop there. A lot of effort goes into the items that are put out. Finding broken or dirty items is bound to happen every so often when employees are trying to hit quotas to please the bosses.
because you know all this information it makes you biased does it not?
@@Msfili Oh, most definitely, though I’m not sure if you’re saying this is a good or bad thing.
@@hpnut4ever not bad no
One unsold items are compacted and tossed into the trash value village does not keep a record of what percentage of your donations are thrown out .
And while staff can't buy items til it's been on the shelf for two days. It's naive to think they don't call their friends to tell them something is coming out.
Its too easy for staff to cheat the system
One quick text and the pricer can put the item out just as the customer comes into the store
No one the wiser
But really offends me is the big compacter in back of every store
Thanks for the tips. We have a savers here but it is the same thing and they overprice a lot lol. I saw Lv shoes there and they wanted $300 but how do we know it’s even real unless your like an expert on those shoes lol. They are ridiculous
I loved that picture for $70 it would have went perfect in my living room I have those same colors. As usual Ms Fili you have great taste lol 😂❤️❤️❤️
I was donating one day in the back of the store and a man in a truck was loading his truck with really new stuff and an employee was helping him.thois never hit the floor!
Hello from New Orelans ms fili you are great 🤗🤗🤗🤗
In addition to that value village(savers) always announce to their PA system that “ most of their items are priced below 10$” i was like WHERE? SHOW ME WHERE? A beat up quick silver t Shirt goes for 9.99$(value village Jefferson) And that same shirt goes for 9.99$ if you go to winners garden city BRAND SPANKING NEW tell me I’m wrong beautiful ms.fili lol I like your videos BTW !
jay bel I’ve heard that announcement and never understood it lol
I’m in Toronto Canada and they make this announcement all the time!!! Sometimes I wonder if the person making the prices tags is on drugs. A ratty forever 21 shirt priced at $14.99? Which was probably $5.99 brand new lol
I try to only shop for clothing there when they have their sales on, and even then you need to know your brands, prices and quality. Used isn’t always better.
They aren’t just talking about the clothing. Almost all of the books and media items are below $10. Most housewares items and toys are below that price as well, and even the furniture items are usually cheaper because they want to make sure it doesn’t sit on the sales floor for too long.
we only have one value village that is near ferguson,i won`t go there...so we have red racks, goodwill, and vincent depaul thrift...what are your thoughts on these stores?
I know the Lady on my local thrift store and she told me what time exactly shes going to hang the bags i went everyday and i found a original bags coach,LV,MK ,VS also i knew ALL of the workers Putting the stuff same time too 🤩
As a former full time employee of warehouse work at Value village I strongly recommend that you don’t work there it’s minimum wage and your overworked most of the time
its not that specifically yellow tag items are fresh, there is a new tag colour every week, and a tag colour is held on the floor for 4-5 weeks, and there is 6 rotating colours that we switch between, that week was just a yellow week
“50% at McDonald’s clearly” FUCKING MEEEEEE i literally laughed my ass off 😂😂❤️❤️
Mf. Fili, where do you sell besides FB? I think Value Village operates like all charitable thrifts including the hospital thrifts. They get donated items, or they buy in bulk, and resell it so that they can cover labor and operational costs.
That used makeup - you should turn it into the cashiers and tell them to take it off the shelf.
Is Nannette Lepore a high valued purse? I see a lot of it on Marshall's shelves....anybody know?
They are a for profit company not a ñon profit charitý and the family who own them are multi-millionaires!!
I agree with you completely with the fact that value village is a for profit company and I know people toss a lot of hate at that fact. Generally at my location, they will let you exchange your electronic if it doesn't work because we don't want you to keep something that's broken. Preach! They definitely can't go through all those donations with a fine tooth comb. I typically relate it to human error because humans ain't perfect.
Each store has a charity they support, the donations go onto carts (soft= clothes, shoes etc, hard= dishes, misc items etc and media/books). That is then weighed up, the weight will then be recorded and the charity will be paid by the weights of each cart.
another tip....
whenever you buy any kind of video game system, or electronic.......never ever bring it into your home right away.
always put items into a big garbage bag and soak a couple of paper towels in rubbing alcohol. Then close the bag for 10 hours.
the air will become toxic and kill any critters hiding inside. roaches love heat, and they will infest electronics because of this.
I have been doing this method for the last year of thrifting. I have not had any stowaways in my home yet.
as for clothes, always bag them in the car...put them right into the dryer when you get home. bed bugs can hide on clothes.
omg, i swear at 13:28 there was a longchamp backpack??
Jenny Xiao Not a backpack Longchamp but definitely a Longchamp!
Some stores are less strict about the rules about buying rhe same day .I have seen it self check out is made it easier for staff to buy the same day
Yasss Queen 💜
You are very professional
Fili you have a great evening
Staff never get first pick. They have wait for 2 days before they can buy it off the sales floor. Not even the refused stuff that gets trashed is allowed to be taken by staff. There's no secret what goes on in the back, as the room is wide open to patrons. But you're not really supposed to go beyond into the back for safety reasons. Charities are NOT non-profit organizations. There's a difference. VV doesn't support non-profits, they support charities. It's a bit fuzzy on where non-profits come into play. VV does do exchanges but that's it. No, nothing gets cleaned, of course, but stuff gets inspected by several people and they look for tears, foul smells, and other flaws. If it's something that can get washed or fixed they'll still accept it as something sellable. The backroom is filthy and super dusty, so anything should get cleaned at home. Nothing should actually be found in the items. Especially drug paraphernalia. VV takes that shit seriously as poses a danger to staff and customers. If you see it report it to staff right away along with the tag. There's info on who graded the items on it and what day. They are trained and told be thorough, but due to time/speed quota pressures someone might be cutting corners to not get yelled at.
Value village staff were told to hike up prices just after the pandemic
Some say it's becuae they were going public and they wanted to increase their profits
They are over priced and staff are pressured to work fast
Donations in some stores are down as rhe public are more aware they are a profit store and they would prefer to donate to a charity store that rhe proceeds actually go to their community
They also dump alot of stuff straight into dumpster
A d the worst is they compact the items first so that unsold items are unstable
I really am offended when a over priced items gets dumped instead of trying tonreduce the price to a more believe and sellable price
Dont know what province you're in but in B.C Any unsold items/items that don't pass value village standards don't get thrown into the trash, they go to a partner company that will try to sell it for a lower price before they ship it to a 3rd world country
Value village is one of my favorite thrift stores
I work in a value village and I want to add some stuff to this video first is that no we don’t get first pick and second is that in the value village that I’m working at we check every item so doesn’t contains garbage or anything inside the clothes or inside the bag or doesn’t have any stain or is mold because we care about the costumers first and 3 is that yes we receive 50% off but just in clothing and Beth and bath in the other stuff we receive 30% off and also before putting the stuff out to the public we have people that check the items one more time to be save that we only put good quality in the floor
I suppose each location is different.
At the 3 where I live, nothing is ever checked. I have found about 300 dollars in total. From checking pockets of coats and pants as well as wallets and purses. Lots of garbage, gum wrappers, chapstick, condoms, stuff like that.
Some stores have friends come in especially at night
My mom used to take tags off well still does but they gave her a discount not saying go fo that but if you want 30 percent off so hmmm
The colours go through cycles. The yellow tag was probably the colour of the week.
I wish I had a Value Village near me 😭
hi Ms Fili❤❤
I love VV and Winners.
Moat value stores have a huge compacter om each site and unaold items go to rhe dump
And you need to wash
before you wear them for fear of bed n bugs
I should apply at VV and get 50% off and call u whenever theres stuff to buy lol! U need to give me 10% of ur profit earnings on the stuff though u sold ahahah! 🤣
Our Ritual Sushi date! 💕👍🏼
NancyLife TV 🤣
Staff never ever gets first pick.
Also your yellow tag fact is wrong. Every week is a new tag.
Exactly, there's the 48 hour rule we must follow.
Yasss ❤️❤️
Depending on your DM, VV doesn't accept mattress/box springs, couch hide-a-beds and hazmat( lightbulbs, batteries, gas, kerosene, household cleaning products, oil etc). Since they take everything else you typically get donations that should be going to the dump but people are cheap and don't want to spend the money to dispose of it themselves.
Your a re pure natural talent. This hauling is your gift and your sexy persona the way you move the hair
Hey Ashlee
Hi Nancy filli
Ms. Fili. You are awesome girl! I think I would really enjoy thrifting with you! Thank you for all of this information, it's very much appreciated. I always wondered about a lot of the things you covered. I have a question but not sure if you want to answer, but I understand if not. Are some of the clothes, cookware, and anything else they receive ever moldy and/or have bed bugs, etc on them and they just sweep them off, (so to speak), then put them on the floor? Also what province are you in? I won't ask city as that may be to personal. I just found your channel literally 5 minutes ago because I was searching Value Village. I subscribed because of this video and it looks like I have a few videos of yours to catch up on! Haha.🙂
Wow free condoms added bonus maybe i should shop at value village more lol
Can staff working in the warehouse hold clothes they like to the side?
no... there are so many camera's and they have to do bag checks before they leave. My girlfriend has been working there for 3 years
Each week there’s a new color tag it’s a cycle
Grey purple yellow orange blue green depending on the week ask what’s the new color of the week.
They don’t treat their employees in Minnesota well so who cares if they support charities
95% of their full time employees either have part time jobs or are on US food stamps
It's not yellow tags are new... it's that each week is a new colour so that week was yellow :)
Workers definitely do not get first pick and you can get fired for hiding stuff too, also they weight donations and pay a agreed upon price based on the weight of the donations, for every bag and box even if its trash..
We only get 50% off of clothes, other items 30%
50% off only if it's December
Or they hide it behind the counter for 2 days then buy it!
A third if the stuff donated get dumped
And nothing goes back to charity the unsold go straight to the dump
The staff is told to say they donate unsold goods but that is bulkshit
That would been alot more staff they have
They lie everyone lies
They rarely let you return non working electronics
They call it selling a brick
When a items is broken electronics
It's referred to as a brick
Theft is huge at vakue Village
I bought a pair of pants and when I came home u found several price tags of other clothes
So someone stole and had the tags in a pair of pants they didn't buy
Lol
Was that TK Maxx or TJ? If it’s TK, it looks identical right down to messy chaotic shelves. Lol. I love the store, but they put stuff on clearance that is so broken and beaten it belongs in the garbage. Makeup should be handled differently so people don’t stick their nasty fingers in new products. I love TJ Maxx and shop there often. Looks like fun.
😍😍😍😍
Fili you should do a pink wear it would be great they have lots sexy stuff perfect for you the queen👍
Idk why.. But i have this feeling something is going on with higher pricing at the thrift stores.. As per said their staffs are given 50% off and only allow to buy the item after three days displayed at the selling floor.. The hypothesis are staffs purposedly pricing the item at the highest (doubled) to deter thrifters from getting it and would buy that for themselves, after three days at half cut price to resell it or just for themselves.. Which is the price should be.. Its still a hypothesis and maybe you could do a monitoring on items that overpriced and comeback after 3-4 days.. Sorry for my bad english.. This is a nice video anyways.. As always..
Wrong. They do get good conditioned, expensive items. They are a for profit company so they are trying to make a profit, understand? But there are a lot of people that are resellers, hustling, buy it cheap, sell it high.
Value village uses the charities to gather donations .and pays then onlyb24 cents per pound
That's why so much crap is donated to the charities some people donate crap to value village and give their better quality items to other real charitiesthey just donate crap to collect the coupon
This is winners not value village
I work at value village we are a non profit partner of. Diabetic Canada saint john nb store 2060
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Omg! All that Rae Dunn! ♥️❤️♥️
Value village are crooks they get stuff for free and sell it way to much that and only a small percentage goes to big brothers and big sisters let say you spend 28 dollars tax included only 3 dollars maybe 4 if lucky goes to charity they pocket 90 to 95 percent of the sales savers inc which owns value village makes billions of dollars from ripping off the poor you really got to check the price tags there and they mix some of the expensive stuff with the cheap stuff to i seen a t shirt going for 17.99 plus tax a 15 dollar shirt only takes 6 dollars to make it and 2 dollars for storage and shipping for anyone thats paying attenchen thats over double the money to make a t shirt its insane
Yellow tags are not new. It’s a different colour every week. It just happened to be yellow that week I were there.
Also it’s like slave labor there. You have quota and if you get it done in a day you get in shit.
Staff does NOT get first pick. Everything goes to the floor first.
This lady have no idea what she is talking about
Your wrong value village does not give a percent of profit but rather they pay only a price per pound
So let's say they sell a tie designer for 20 the charity got paid only pennies
And the real profit goes straight to value village
The charities get are used to collect donations .
Please sont donate to value village
Please support thridt stores that support your community like salvation army that helps with food banks
And goodwill that orovides job training. Ir animal rescue charites
In touch times you need to supoort your community
Value village is masquerading asa chariety
Value village is not a charity thrift store
Donate only to non profit thrift stores
Salabation army helps support food banks
And goodwill support foodbanks and job training
Value village maquardes as a charity
The big community donation sign on front of the store doesnt nean they share profits with charites
Health and safety value village selling open half used cosmetics and body lotions gross
They also don't let staff wear gloves and masks
Becuae it alerts the customers to the health issues scary disregarded to staff safety
Two Words Bed Bugs....... do your own check.
Value village compacts all unsold it's
They Won't reduce pricev of unsold items
This is under reported. the fact they over price your donations means more items to lanfills
That video would go viral
Theetal donations often go strait to scrap and they sell those items to svrapbmetal dealers and now they are switching to self check out so they are cutting jobs
Why aren't more people doing a video on that
It's like we are complacent if they refuse to change their behavior we must botcot them and donate elsewhere some people even just leagecitekdctgey don't need on the end of their driveways to allow people to take what they need time to rethink value village and time to stand up for consumers
If you want to go viral post about the real truth
Items with bedbugs and when they spray in the store bug spray
Their are huge problems for consumers
Rethink donations
