Lucas:
I go to thrift stores whenever my friends want to go. My friends would go to a thrift store because they like to dress like "they are from the 80s." Something cool I'd find in a thrift store is a cool pair of slacks. I believe clothes in thrift stores aren't completely clean, so I always wash my new clothes from them. I have donated to thrift stores because I've had too many clothes and it's better than throwing it out. Lucas would go to a thrift store to find cheap, cool slacks.
Bill:
I go to thrift stores once every couple months because I find novelty items I wouldn't find anywhere else. I've found a shirt from a TV show I watched, that was $3 when it would've been over $30 from a real shop. I, personally, am not scared but my parents make me wash clothes from these stores because they think it's a "sketchy distribution." I would donate to thrift stores because it promotes the re- use of clothes and prevents them from ending up in landfills. From a thrift store, I would want to find random items that I wouldn't find anywhere else.
Federico:
I do not go to thrift stores, there aren't any by my house. I would definitely consider it because it sounds like a fun idea and one man's trash is another man's treasure. I feel like thrift stores wouldn't be clean and people don't really care what they're donating. I would donate to a thrift store because my mom loves donating clothes, she gives most of our old clothes to clothes drives. I expect to find old accessories and clothes in a thrift store, and maybe something really cool that could surprise me, or any sort of tech.
