They do have a Plan B for items that dont sell. Recycle, ship to third world countries,etc. i asked the guy at the drop off about what happens to items that the American shopper wont buy. I was happy wi his response. A lot of items dont make it to the floor due to the poor condition of the donation. Some of the unsellable crap our church rummage sale would recieve as donations just made my head spin.
In general, Why get into a conversation about your intentions to re-purpose your puchases? Just drives the point that YOU may not need to shop resale shops for your personal wardrobe need. Just make your purchase and move on.
