I live in a tourist town in Australia. It's quite old and pretty and there are two charity shops and one overprices "vintage" shop. The vintage shop sells everything from furniture to clothing and crockery etc...as they do.
Fine.
EXCEPT!
I keep seeing things from the charity shop in the vintage shop marked up four times. I KNOW it's a case of "She knows the value of the items and they don't"
But it's so wrong! The shop she mainly gets things from is a Save the Children FFS!
Last week I saw a nice dress in the charity shop...1960s original party dress. It was priced at 8 dollars. About 4 or 5 pounds.
I didn't buy it as my arse is too fat for it. Today I spot it hanging in the window of the bloody vintage shop for 40 dollars. I go inside and there I see a china teacup and sandwich plate plus matching saucer which I had ALSO seen in the charity shop...she had this trio marked at 22 dollars...the charity shop had 3 dollars on it.
Most of her things, the vintage lady gets from auctions I know...but how can she BEAR to rob a charity shop like this?
Isn't it morally wrong?

AIBU?
To think the owner of this shop is a brazen cow?
