text: Going into Second Chance, you should be made aware of a few things to set your expectations. First, anticipate a very large crowd and an even longer line. Second, expect to do some serious digging in order to find the deals. Lastly, don't expect much in the men's section of the store.\n\nIt was seriously a mad-house walking into Second Chance at 11am on a Saturday. Imagine Black Friday at a Best Buy or a Walmart. The shoppers had more excess energy I would expect out of a kid who just ate an entire box of Fruit Loops. I enjoy my personal space and really had none of that as they scurried around and got in my way as I mazed through the store.\n\nThe line to check out was looped throughout the entire floor layout. It's tough to put a wait to it since I gave up and left, but I would guess at least an hour. I would hope there would be some kind of payoff at the end other than a cart full of clothes. Maybe a good carnival ride?\n\nI'll fully admit that this rating is a little biased. I had been warned of some of these things, but had been told that the deals can be found through some hard work and borderline PI work. I unfortunately am of the wrong gender and therefore only had a small section, at most a tenth of the store targeted to my buying habits. I had trouble finding any clothes that suited my tastes and then when I walked to the shoe section, I was shocked. Every pair seemed as though they had been worn for a year. Have you been to the shoe section in a thrift store? Something like that. No offense to anyone interested in buying a second-hand pair of shoes; it just seemed strange to be in a retail store with items that were so heavily used.\n\nI left disappointed and a little frusterated. Had there been some hidden gems in the men's section, it might have been worth the wait and fending off the rabid crowd.
