Worst experience ever with an angry Karen

Worst experience ever with an angry Karen that works at the restore Her name is Erica R No need for this bad behaviour This is to be a fun day looking through the store but this predator needs to know her place as she has this idea that she has authority over everyone including shoppers and can do and say as she wishes My goodness she works at a thrift store not the Government Flipping out over a question of how much an item was I have overwhelming evidence and a witness to this act But I was dismissed and believe nothing was done all they had to do was look at the cash register camera and they would have seen this tirade breakdown of hers She should be fired A lot of good people work there and have to deal with her antics I believe talking to her boyfriend at the water fountain for a long time or at least as long as I was in the store was more important But helping me was not so she was irritated I witnessed this individual smoking a vape in the store numerous times over the past months and she never tried to hide it because of her entitlement Is this legal Repeated asking me to repeat myself 5 times as she said she didn t understand maybe she was smoking something else in her vape which could explain everything this was at closing so did she drive like this When asked why she didn t understand she went crazy Took a lamp from my cart to punish me and not price it and screamed to get out of the store Little does she know I have to much stuff as it is so she did me a favor lol I don t want this to happen to anyone else I will throw away all of my donations before I help pay her salary and I donated a lot of great things especially after I sold my commercial building and business

Greed for Humanity

I thought this company cared to provide for less fortunate people I was wrong They are only looking for cash donations or brand new merchandise We have a world of homeless people sleeping on the streets and they refused a like new mattress because it had slat marks on the bottom They said they couldn t sell it Really Very sad I will never make another donation to this organization

Provide more information to donors

I am shocked to learn that a donation cannot be accepted because furniture was Around a pet The process and waiting times are by far ridiculous 1 month and after all this time a person just told me that they cannot accept the items because they were around a pet I personally think that you should state that the donations should be for BRAND NEW items that have not been exposed to absolutely any allergens and see how many items you get This orgainzation is not a Charity

Habitat truck showed up to pick up 4

Habitat truck showed up to pick up 4 TOTALLY fictional reclining chairs Their only defect was the fake leather started peeling after only two years Wife bought expensive covers but I didn t like the covers Here s the point Truck shows up and two guys say that the chairs are not perfect and they would have a hard time SELLING THEM Are you kidding me These chairs are like new with perfect coil spring seating a totally smoothe reclining mechanisms WHAT HAPPENED TO HELPING PEOPLE OUT IN NEED THIS SCAM OUTFIT IS IN SEBRING FL Same as giving clothes to dumpsters my wife thinks poor people get her nearly new clothes HABITAT FOR HUMANITY needs a new name HABITAT FOR PROFIT

I donated a substantial gift in honor

I donated a substantial gift in honor of my grandmother to never receive my paper for taxes I will never donate to them again They never sent anything to say thank you or anything Way to go Philabundence for your letter and appreciation

Restore on Bermondsey Drive in Toronto

Restore on Bermondsey Drive in Toronto is full of people who are being paid but pretty much do nothing The store is full of mostly garbage but they don t take good donations of perfect hardwood furniture Regarding their so-called pickup sevice I have had many experiences where there was either tons of great furniture to pick up or just a few pieces and they never do it and they never give you a reason why I suspect that those trucks and teams are being used for some other purpose There is something really really really wrong here and has been wrong for years This organization is not what it purports to be I will be giving my beautiful valuable useful furniture to Salvation Army and Value Village who do a brisk business and sell tons of good stuff for low prices

They DON T want your money

I have been trying for almost A YEAR to contact Habitat to change my credit card number since my previous card was compromised canceled I am either transferred overseas where they cannot do this OR when I call in during the day NO Supervisor is available to handle this I was giving 50 each month and would like to continue this BUT since NO ONE seems to be able help me with this I will find a new charity that WANTS MY MONEY This organization is POORLY run I keep receiving letters from Habitat THANKING ME for my donations support BUT I HAVE NOT made any donations BECAUSE THEY HAVEN T UPDATED my card number How DISAPPOINTED Jimmy Carter would be to know that a charity he LOVED SO MUCH was doing this to people who just want to donate

I applied for a no interest loan

I applied for a no interest loan for very bad entry doors and a couple other small things Two people came to my home and the man was a little rude On top of it he was talking about all of these accessible expensive products He even mentioned a ramp I m not in a wheelchair yet because of my MS and hopefully won t need one in the future I emailed the person in charge and told her of my experience and asked her if they get donations by selling this stuff I m on disability and can t afford to get new doors but I told her to remove my application since I don t deal with disrespectful people no matter how poor I am

ZERO stars given

If I can give you zero stars I would Standing inline for 20 minutes with a broke foot and the guy helping Lynne decides that he is going to grab the peoples stuff from behind us and check them out instead Will not shop or donate there EVER again Very disorganized since Mike has retired from there
