I think this shop is a rip off compared to other charity shops. They had a counterfeit burberry bag and wanted £20. I said to the woman on the til it was a fake so why where they charging £20. Her response was, you'd pay £20 for it abroad, so why not here. It is going to a good cause. Ok, fair enough it is going to a good cause, but they shouldnt sell illegal products, for extortionate prices. The woman agreed it was fake herself. They also ask £3 for a primark top. Tops new in primark are only £3. Also once they had a new primark top and wanted £3 odd for it. On the primark tag, the top had been reduced to £2. So it had only cost £2 new to buy. When I questioned this, they said they have set prices so could not reduce it. It is rediculous. I also used to visit this shop in Prescot, but now I refuse to go, as it is crammed and the staff are rude. Being quite young, I find that the staff follow me around the shop to check I am not robbing. My mum noticed it too. In the end I lost my rag and said to the woman, for gods sake I am not going to rob from a charity shop, stop following me around. I find other charity shops reasonably priced. I don't like this branch of charity shops
