Goodwill

Sit back and lemme tell y’all a tale about the shady retail practices at this location…
I found a new-​with-​tags NBA practice jersey from the $ 4.99 sports clothing rack. It was clearly identified with a color-​coded Goodwill size tag. When the cashier saw that the item was NWT, she said —
«Oh. You managed to find one that isn’t marked.»
And before I could say anything, she took it to the back to consult with a manager. She comes back and tells me it’s $ 19.99. I replied —
«No, thank you.»
(I may have actually pronounced it, «OH, HAYELLS NO!», but let’s not split hairs)
And left.
This particular item, although NBA-​licensed, was from a C-​list manufacturer and not even worth twenty dollars from an actual retail sports store. My issue is not so much with the price as it is with the cashier changing the rules of the game in the middle of a play. That shirt was CLEARLY marked with a Goodwill tag just like every other article of clothing in their racks. But, since she happened to see that the item was still new-​with-​tags, it suddenly became unmarked because she thought they could ask for a higher price??? No. That’s not how retail works, Goodwill. At all.

Dear «Brendan H. of Goodwill Business Customer Service»,
Please save the:
«I’m sorry you had a less than favorable experience yadayadayada. Goodwill is here to provide job training yadayadayada»
for someone else.
I’ve seen your canned responses all over Unilocal and I’m not interested in reading, yet another, feigned apology for the underhanded business practices of your employees — especially when you and I both know that nothing will be done to rectify them. Thankyakindly.

I like going to thrift stores just to see what they have. You never know what you might find! This thrift store is a little more expensive compared to other thrift stores that I have been too. But they have a nice selection of products and I feel like every time I go they have a bunch of discounts which is always great.

As a college student I use up my money in books, fees, rent, food, home essential, ect. So Most of the time I’m broke with little money in my pocket, but I learned to be smart and shop at thrift stores to save tons and always look fashionable and modern. Among my five top thirft store to shop at, Goodwill is differently number 3 on the charts especially the goodwill in Waldorf Md. I ways find super cute jeans at a steal price of $ 4, tees and blouses for $ 2-​$ 6, shoes $ 7 – 12, even warm sweater weather for $ 5! Never leave the store empty handed especially on student discount day!
P.s staff is friendly (always ask if I need anything) the only down part to this store is the lack of home goods such as plates ect.

I went to this store when I was thrift store hopping. Not looking for anything specific, just looking. The store was clean and the employees were friendly. There seemed to be lots of goodies but nothing that cought my eye. I will stop in again when Im in the area.

I thoroughly enjoyed this goodwill. I lucked up and found so many great clothes for myself. I love thrift in SO much!

I love this Goodwill! found several very nice outfits and household items that I would had paid tons of money for but got it very cheap. A thrift store is like any other thrift store. You have to be there at the right time or day to luck up and find something. Its not like a regular store where there would be several sizes and colors of an item, and keep in mind their getting donations from people not ordering them so the sizes will range… Duhh? Maybe someone or several people got there before you and got them all… I’ve also been to other thrift stores and could not find anything at all but that was just at that time I went. Goodluck

This goodwill pretty much sucks. I went there lookin’ for some cute vintage shirts & highwaisted pants, but nothing was there! The sizes are really off. A size one looks like a sixoor eight. Price-​wise its the same as any Goodwill. It opened late last year and appeals too older people. Not good quality its looks reall dusty.
