Prices are off-putting

I have been watching Mary Queen of Charity Shops and have to disagree with the changes that are being made.

People like charity shops to look like charity shops not like high street fashion stores.

Some of the prices now are so expensive that many cannot afford to shop there when you can go to George at Asda and pay less for brand new items.

Instead of putting your prices up, why don’t you educate the staff in merchandising the windows and puttng a decent collection of better quality clothes out?

Now that the weather is getting better, people will not pay your prices, instead will be spending their money at boot sales.

It amazes me that some shops put image before what the customers want, which are £1 rails, bog-offs and bargains.

What we don’t want are new goods which are dreadful and overpriced and being pestered by your staff to buy raffle tickets.

In fact there is one shop in Halesowen that seems to sell raffle tickets all year round which has put me off going in.
