DEAR News Of The Area,
IN response to previous messages regarding Op Shop pricings I would like to make a comment also.
I worked at a large Op Shop store here.
There were three paid managers walking around that store.
Yes, all being paid wages.
I was only a volunteer as with other workers there.
One day I was told to price a pair of men’s board shorts at $15 because they were a named brand.
I questioned this as you can buy much cheaper in Kmart but the manager was adamant, needless to say I only put a $4 ticket on them.
This is where the takings of the store are going to pay their wages not giving back to the community.
I ended up resigning from there, then not long after they closed because of Covid.
But I noticed recently there were still two paid managers in that store.
Greed, sheer greed.
Regards,
Hilary JOHNSEN,
