'Local thrift store decided... to use staples for clothing tags': 20 Mildly infuriating thrift store discoveries

These people are raising their eyebrows at some recent thrift store finds. They're not surprised at the great deals… instead, they're annoyed at the condition of the stores and the prices of the items!

Thrift shopping or antique shopping can be very hit or miss. Sometimes you find excellent clothing, a barely-worn pair of shoes, or some toys for the kids that are still in great condition. Instead of spending hundreds at a regular store, you can get some cheap stuff and feel good about saving the planet (reuse and recycle!). 

However, some people think that the more thrift shopping becomes a mainstream popular activity, the more it'll impact the quality of the shopping experience. There's plenty of clothing and household items to go around… but as the people below can attest to, there are a few issues that keep popping up. Some people were stunned to find the toy aisles were covered in toys---you can barely walk through the aisles without stepping on a Barbie house or a toy lightsaber. Others were irked to find that clothing was marked up to a higher price than the original tag price! You can check out a bunch of thrift store mishaps below.
