I was vising out of town and went to Sugarhouse Deseret Industries last week Tuesday around 5.30 PM to find out if there is anything I cannot live without. While I was shopping, I have noticed a couple believed to be in their mid 30s were shopping with their backpacks on their back. Then the male person wen to the front and got a shopping cart to put the clothes they were selecting to buy. To my surprise the female person started shoving the clothes in to her back pack and took out another backpack to put more clothes in. I was little bit intrigued and started to pay more attention to this specific couple. After a half an hr. they started to heading towards the main exit door and nonchalantly started walking out from the exit door. I was dumbfounded why the manager was not paying attention, even though she was up by the register noticing what they were doing. Then I approached the manager and informed her about what happened and she said, she noticed them and mentioned to me there is nothing they can do about it. I lost my words and thoughts because of her response. If the public is bringing goods to Deseret Industries and hoping they will use those donate items towards a good cause, yet leaving doors open without any monitoring to STEAL by anybody was not a good impression. If this incident replicate with other Deseret Industries locations, as public we need to inform the public how Deseret industries are treating the donated goods and not to donate to DIs.

Watch out for your safety very carefully. There were about 20 people that are resellers here today. I made the mistake of waiting for an employee, pushing a loaded cart past me. When she parked the cart the resellers pushed and shoved each other, the poor employee was knocked down to the ground. When I tried to help her back to her feet, I too was knocked to the ground. I spoke with the store manager and he said there was nothing he could do. He said this happens all day every day. Shame on the resellers thinking some used item is more important than the health and wellbeing of other humans. Shame on the manager for allowing others to behave in this manner. Every cart brought out is followed by a reseller mob and it is supported. So sad.

Deseret Industries is far more than just a thrift store of pre-owned clothing and home goods. They take on employees who are largely unemployable due to a variety of reasons, and they train and help those employees to get the skills necessary to get employment elsewhere. So be kind to the employees. For some of them this is the best they can do. Greatest Find: Austrian lead-crystal hand-cut platter for $1.00 USD.

Good selection, slightly high prices, and crazy layout--clothes not consolidated into logical locations, re:all mens pants with all mens pants--spread out in multiple locations, making it difficult for shopper to browse.

Ok selection of used items. Prices seem to be hit or miss. Some are under priced some are over priced as compared to other second hand stores as well as eBay pricing. The customer there can sometimes be inconsiderate.

This DI has decent clothes, but everything else is garbage. Apparently people buy anything of value and put it on KSL. I just witnessed​ 4 people fight over a TV as it came out of the backroom.

The people who work here are completely rude. I would have thought a place that is run by the church would have better standards. Both in dropping off, and shopping. A very negative experience.
