The Second Act

I have been consigning at The Second Act since I moved to Iowa City 4 years ago. I love the friendliness of everyone working there and the personal interest shown to me. I did a large closet over haul when pregnant and took a large percentage of my things to be consigned. My clothes were sold at a fair price and I was happy to receive my balance promptly, it is nice to not have to wait until a certain day of the month to get paid out. When I called to check my balance the owner even remembered the last time I had come in and was excited to hear how I was doing and how my son was. We were greeted with excitement when we came into the store later as well. I was happy to find a couple of gently loved pieces to add to my closet as well. Being a new mom and wanting to be a conscious consumer it is nice to always know I can find quality, gently used, name brand clothes at The Second Act.

I decided to shop at this store with my daughter and niece today. The owner shadowed me through the store. I was there for about half an hour. My daughter and niece are teenagers. One went to the dressing room to trysome clothes. The employee opened the curtain even though my niece was standing there. I needed to use the ladies room but the owner wouldn’t allow that. We left without buying a thing. Maybe someday she will refuse to allow a patron to use the bathroom and find a mess on her floor. I’ve owned a business for 20 years, I would never treat a customer that way.

WE ARE OPEN SUNDAY 1:00PM TO 5:00PM -- I don't know why Google says we're closed. Sunday is a GREAT day to shop at the Second Act!

Owner openly , loudly professes her uber liberal views. The store is so jam packed with junk (and an occasional "find") that I could not escape into a quiet room. When checking out, I asked her why she mixed politics into her business model. She responded as though I were a child...as if I just couldn't understand the "lefts" point of view. There are quite a few of us overeducated, opinionated shoppers who would rather not hear leftist views or any political rhetoric when shopping. This incident happened over 5 years ago and have since spent disposable income at stores whose employees behave with a sense of decorum.

This place is so crowded! Its so dark in there, they keep the blinds and curtains shut for some reason?! It also smells so maybe if they open the blinds & windows they could move more product.
