Jet news spoke to the protesters outside the local store, about exactly what’s going on here?

Other issues the protesters brought up include the Value Village bonus system for workers in the back.

They say while the front of the store appears ‘cheery’ it was the back where the real problems are happening. Allegations of verbal abuse, unsafe working conditions, and bullying from upper management lead all three to quit their jobs at different times.
