MARVA Workshop, Inc.

Had a handful of items, had one more row left to look at, 4:45 the employees shut the lights off! I couldn’t see anything. I can see doing that at 4:55 but shutting the lights off 15 min before closing and making it that dark is rude. I put down what I had in my arms because I couldn’t see well enough to do a final check over and left. Very disappointed.

Some of the worst customer service I've ever received. I have had staff literally try to smack my hand for trying to use a cart that I didn't realize was for "staff only". Was told after spending over $100 that I couldn't walk around with my bag or leave it at the counter while my spouse went to pick up the truck for a dresser we bought. Don't bring small children or bring a stroller because they offer no carts. Prices are higher than most any other thrift in town. They have gone down hill from what I remember, definitely won't be back!

Was by today dropping so items to donate and some recyclables. The employees came out and picked over what they wanted and left the rest which was not a problem. I had quite a bit of cardboard for recycling and was told it was further down. The employees returned to the store. I pulled down to some bins and started to unload when an assistant store manager came out and explained that the cardboard was around the corner (after we had unloaded over half of it). I was told this very rudely about four times. He then said it was ok and I asked if there was anything else. I was told I didn’t need to argue. I will not donate or purchase from this place nor recommend it.

Recently went into the store and was looking at used earrings for a craft project. The earrings were old and crusty and nothing I would ever put in my ears. They wanted 2.50 for them and I asked if they would consider lowering the price since Walmart had new and unused earrings at that price and they refused. Several items in the store were outrageously priced in my opinion. They claim to give jobs to the developmentally disabled but they won’t even pay them minimum wage. Why are items so expensive but you can’t pay minimum wage? Maybe directors should take a pay cut so that you can at least pay them minimum wage! I’ve donated thousands of dollars worth of items over the last few years but I won’t donate anymore. I feel like Marva is becoming greedy with money on items that they don’t even pay for. Please consider donating elsewhere.

Clothes were a bit pricey for older Walmart clothes and based on prices of everything else in there. I really hated that they ruined some valuables by using a black sharpie to write prices on things! I know nail polish and a Qtip and wiping it off as you go can fix a few things but some may not come off. Please use a scotch tape or something that’s easy to peel off to write your prices…. Excited that they opened up the back room for more items since I had been there last! It’s always fun to look around and see what’s there. The furniture and nick knacks are probably the best part of the store.

The best place to shop!!!! Great clothes, home decor, appliances. I never leave empty handed! The staff is so helpful and nice!

Prices are getting high I see new products at Walmart cheaper than they saling stuff for

Update.. Horrible experience I am Disabled and asked for a shopping cart and the rude woman at the counter said O there just for disabled people Um I said what the hell you think I am I took my driver's license out and showed her and with my cane hmm I guess you can't see that? Damn I will never drive 2hrs again to shop at this horrible place!!! Don't recommend at all...
