It's not uncommon for items to be set aside for a volunteer(s) with specific interests,
to check when they are next in the store, before being put out to the general public.

I have never seen good fabric like this in our charity shops. Occasionally I've seen some at Car Boot sales, but not often.

One quilter that I know volunteers every Monday. They just know to set aside til she comes in then.
To let her help assess the pricing for things they are uncertain.
But more, so for her to have the first chance. Kind of a volunteer bonus/incentive.
Yes, I know, because she told me.
Believe me, I had a hard time biting my tongue on that one!
Lucky for her, but ..................
