Down the street from my house, there is a cute little thrift store sitting next to a barbecue joint. My family and I have passed by it so many times, but never have gone in. There are windows all around it, so you can see some of the nice outfits on the manikins and the long rows of purses, jewelry, and mens watches at the front of the store.
From the outside, it seems like a good place for people to shop. Come and get the goods!
But the other day, my mom and my sister decided to finally go into this thrift store, and were not expecting what they found.
On the door, there was a sign that read, "All large bags will be checked". The customers and even the employees all looked rough and scary. The items you couldn't see from the outside were filthy. And it was obvious that the floor hadn't been swept or mopped in months. They began to feel creeped out by the eerie feeling in there and left without buying anything.
Sometimes what you see on the outside isn't what you think it is. This thrift store, like a lot of people, was two-faced. You can only tell so much about a person by looking at them, but once you get inside you see the real deal.
What does your thrift store look like?
