We have plenty here in the US. I live in a town of population 70K and we have at least a dozen charity shops and probably as many consignment stores. Any place in the US I've spent significant time I've found at least one nearby charity shop for the rare occasions I needed a suit or peice of furniture.
I don't know who told you we haven't adopted that system. Tell them to look for a Salvation Army, they're like the Star Buck's of charity shops around here, there's one on every corner.
- dTal 12y agoThanks for the correction. My opinion came from my own experience living in the US nearly a decade ago. In my entire 20 years there I saw a single Goodwill and no Salvation Army shops (though I'm sure they existed). Perhaps I was unlucky, or unobservant, or things have changed, but at any rate from that environment the UK was a revelation.
