Today I swung by my favorite Thrift Store to see what I could find. As usual I came up with the Holy Grail of thrift shopping, some type of giant metal tool that resembled a wrench but at the same time was not a wrench. As with all great finds at the Thrift Store I come across there was no price.

The lack of a price tag is my Achilles heal when it comes to thrift shopping. For some reason company policy is to not allow the item to be sold until the all powerful Thrift Store Pricer comes in the next morning and then the item will be restocked. For the life of me I can’t understand why the manager on duty can’t make a call on an item that can’t be worth more than $5 but rules are rules.

The last time I found a Holy Grail, a High School Diploma, it also did not have a price on it. To solve this dilemma I attempted to find another price tag and I put it on the diploma; little did I know items such as diplomas only warrant a price tag created via Magic Marker. I was told I would have to return tomorrow after the day manager priced the item and restocked it. Of course when I returned the following day the item was back out on the floor without a price. Baffling, simply baffling.

Back to the present… today I once again attempted to use the swapping price tag technique which once again didn’t work. So I will be spending my lunch hour tomorrow finding who actually prices items at the Thrift Store and for that matter who actually decides on what shit is so ghetto it can’t be sold.

If I am successful there will be Photographs of my latest Holy Grail Thrift Store item.
