I was in a charity shop recently and the manager explained to me that a big pile of recently-arrived stock (of clothing in this case) was not yet for sale because it hadn't been picked by the volunteers yet.

Since the shop is staffed by unpaid volunteers they get first bite at anything coming in. I gather they pay normal rates for whatever they take.

I have no problem with this at all. This seems like the very least perk they could be offered. Frankly, if I was running the place each volunteer would get their stuff for free (up to some value per month.)
