I went into a charity shop today in London and was surprised to see
them selling many lines of 'new' stock direct from factories.
They only pay 10% of commercial council tax as they're registered
charities. Isn't this a breach of law selling 'new' items?
I really feel charity should begin at home and as they have 'millions'
in the bank they should at least pay full council tax and pay staff
the minimum wages. They're taking advantage of old ladies by not
paying them.
I also think the reason for 'new' lines is... the staff in the back
shop are getting the goods before it gets to the shop floor and
selling it on eBay.
This shop I went into today has Spaniards working there and it looked
as if she had all her friends in the back shop having a great time
looking through bags of donated goods.
I think 'all' charity shops are running some kind of scam!
