Yes, sadly rudeness is everywhere, along with entitlement and dishonesty. It’s really sad. I was thrifting and found a mug for my daughter that I knew she’d LOVE! Someone took it out of my cart when my back was turned. It really got me a bit down about society. Then I spent time with my lovely daughters and was even more thankful we raised them right. 😊 I can’t change the world, so I focus on my family. I always say they’re my mission field. 💕

I totally agree with you on the prices getting too high. I've been very disappointed with the changes in our Goodwill stores here in Indiana. They used to have 50% off for Senior Citizens on Wednesdays and 50% off on "color of the week" but not anymore. They STILL haven't opened fitting rooms up after the craziness of covid. Not sure what's going on anymore. But I still shop there cause I hate paying the prices at the big retail stores.

I have a whole thrift store locally that’s filled with rude and unhappy workers, from experience I feel it’s likely the managers attitude and so I always try to smile and spread joy to the staff there. Here as part of our social security requirements people that are unemployed have to volunteer a certain amount of hours to things like charity stores, so I understand these people are likely struggling emotionally and mentally. I can choose to join their attitude or show them that the world isn’t filled with all unhappiness. I think you did the right thing, kindness while standing up for yourself is always better

I’m SO glad your got that lap quilt. I was nearly shouting Put it in the cart!!! That looked handmade. Someone worked really hard on it, and it always hurts my heart to see handwork like that end up in a thrift store. Thank you for saving it!! And for $3.00??? Lucky you!!

Julie, I always thoroughly enjoy your videos, and I thank you for your content! RE: the employee. - my first thought is as a supervisor, I want to know when my employees aren’t treating clients with the respect they deserve. I feel like I need to let a supervisor know when something to that nature happens. But, as a mom of an autistic son, some people don’t have the social awareness they should and it must be taught. My son is 12 and we are doing our best to teach him those cues so that as an adult, he will still be respectful. However, I see so many of these kids like my son growing up with disengaged parents and they grow into adults without the awareness they need. If the worker has this issue, the supervisor could help the worker with it. If the worker was just being rude, the supervisor could address that as well. But they can’t address it if they don’t know about it. Its always a judgement call on whether or not I alert a supervisor though. But I think I would’ve said something there. If the person is truly just being rude, your comment most likely had no effect on her and she’ll continue to be rude unless someone addresses it that can make it important to her.

Hi Julie.. I have encountered rudeness at the grocery stores not so much with employees but just people who act like they are mad at the world and twice I have seen mothers encouraging their daughters to be rude. One day there was a mother and a daughter opening and smelling products at Walmart sitting in the aisle. I started walking the aisle and they did not move..even when an elderly couple wanted by. The same day I said excuse me twice so I could look at hamburger. The daughter was standing right where I needed to look and I said excuse me again and she did not get off her phone or move so I said excuse me and reached over them. The mother said she did not appreciate me getting in her space. I just moved on, We need to teach our kids kindness. I can not believe the little quilt was only 3.99. I loved the little basket. I called that blanket camel color for some reason..beautiful with your flowers you picked up. I have some of the made in Japan set that was one hundred fifty dollars. They have gone down in value I think. I don’t resell but go to estate sales and they use to sell for more. Now the second set were so pretty and I think worth the fifty dollars. I am so excited about your fall decor and just want to do things more intentional and with maybe brass or coppers abs might copy your blue and orange them. Thanks Julie for sharing all your finds. I think people like us truly love their homes. ❤❤❤ We are thankful for ours…it might not be big or fancy but we love it.
