Thrifting

Marni: So I got these shoes at a thrift store, a new thrift store that opened up recently.

Jason: A new one?

Marni: Yeah.

Jason: Cool.

Marni: There’s always new thrift stores opening up. You ever notice that?

Jason: Really?

Marni: Yeah. I think this area is very thrift-store oriented.

Jason: Definitely. It’s cool because you can get things from the past that you can’t get anywhere else.

Marni: It’s true.

Jason: Like, I’ve get these really big blue gloves that I use for biking that are really waterproof but like, no one makes like, tacky blue gloves anymore, you know?

Marni: Yeah, you basically have to find that kind of stuff at thrift stores.

Jason: Yeah. The only problem is the effort it takes to find it. Going through the entire thrift store in search of that one treasure.

Marni: You can’t go in lightly. You have to be ready to commit and sift through
everything. I kind of love it. I have to be in the mindset of going and thrifting but I find if you’re up for it, you find great stuff.

Jason: It just takes a long time. It’s really dusty sometimes.

Marni: I know people who wear gloves. It kinda makes sense because sometimes you’re like, “Who was wearing this before? It could be some skanky old guy.” And yeah…like, you know, “Who was sitting on this before and what did they do on this couch?”

Jason: Eh, it’s the same as a hotel or restaurant or something.

Marni: I guess, but I figure a hotel at least you’re paying for it so hope that maybe somebody else was a little more…Yeah, now I’m kinda creeped out about hotels too. I’m probably just never gonna go to one again. Only stay in five stars. Yeah. that’s not gonna happen.
