Goodwill

I don’t know what is going on with Goodwill, but they are not living up to their beginnings, their roots. They were started by a Methodist minister to help handicapped people learn and train so they can get real jobs.
Now, Goodwill is only about money. They are not a charity, they are not a nonprofit. They lie constantly — they tell people they help students, get jobs for people, improve lives. But their corporate executives make at least ½ a million dollars each. One CEO in Portland Oregon was making $ 900,000 a year and the City of Portland told him that is not acceptable for a nonprofit charity. So his salary was reduce by 25% and he is still making a half a million dollars a year.
It is true that Salvation Army CEO makes about $ 25 — 50,000 a year and he gets a place to live, like an apartment, and maybe a car… the rest of the money does go to the Salvation Army homeless shelters and soup kitchens.
STOP GIVING TO THESE CORPORATE MONSTERS!!!

I don’t go here as religiously as I use to. They rearranged everything, and the prices have gone up. The selection is so so now. Yes, there is something for everyone here if you feel like digging. From clothes for the whole family to shoes, housewares, bikes, toys, furniture, it is all there, but prices um, yes higher.
For the price, I’d rather go to some other bargain stores, know it’s first hand, and if it doesn’t work out at first hand stores, I could always return it. You can’t return it here.

Very clean good lighting and does not smell bad like so many other thrift stores. I stop in every now and again. I usually find pants here very easily. I’m a 16 and short… but I can usually find nice slacks for work. I have bought a cute jacket. can’t tell ya how many compliments I have received on that jacket! I can never find tops however. they always looks so cheap or out of style. My only complaint, they don’t have enough cashiers… and you may get stuck waiting on line.

Nothing against goodwill or the good work they do, I will keep donating items to them. My complaint are the cashiers. I don’t know if they get paid. If they get paid, they are drastically overpaid! I was there to look around and picked up some glasses, I went to pay on one of two lines, the line I went to had an imbasile as a cashier, he told us that the line was closed, ok we went yo the other line that had a chatterbox as a cashier. I don’t know if she noticed all the people on line, or just didn’t care. I then look over to the other line with idiot cashier number one, and see him taking care of other customers. It was a SNAFU and Murphy’s law all under one roof! Next time I’ll let my beautiful wife go alone.

I love you Goodwill.
Heart of my hearts, whisk away
Hey, I need a whisk!
I have very little to complain about with regards to this Goodwill. It is far cheaper than Salvation Army. I got a dresser nightstand combo for about $ 40. It was amazing. There are tons and tons of things. As usual, you have to search to find what you’re looking for, but overall great. I would say that I wish they had more space for furniture, and that there were more cashiers. It seems like ⁹⁄₁₀ times I go there, there is no one at the cash register, all 10 people shopping decide to check out at the exact same time, and the one people up front is helping with a return or locked item, or something, so everyone is just standing up there looking dumb. If I walk in to find something fast, I do, but as soon as I want to check out, there is nothing speedy about it.
Either way, I could spend hours sifting through the junk. This Goodwill is amazing!

Went here for the first time today! I was super impressed with this Goodwill! I have never seen a goodwill with new items. They have a lot of Halloween decorations and costumes that are new in the package. They also sell household items like table cloths and plates, pots, and furniture that is all new.
In regards to the clothes, you have to dig because the racks are over crowded and a little hard to look through. But there is some great items here and name brand clothing! I found a few great pieces. I am excited that I found this place!

Great place to find affordable clothes. Great place to drop off old items that you don’t want to sell online or at a garage sale. If you are moving it helps get rid of old items. There are a lot of cheap kids clothes and adult clothes to buy here as well.

How can you pass up a big Goodwill store. This is a very large store packed with tons of goodies and junk. You just have to know what you’re looking for and dig through all the clutter and know what things are worth. Some of the prices are a little high but, if you look around the clothes especially, they have some really good prices.

This Goodwill is über confusing. There are regular priced items but they are out of touch on what they have available. The home goods section is a total mess and doesn’t have as much fun stuff as other spots. It’s close so I drop in once and a while to see what they have. I found a pretty cool leather jacket for my daughter ($ 10) which made a recent stop worth it. It’s clean and easy to drop donations here too.

Probably the nicest one that I have ever seen! Very clean and love going in here to support all of my charities for children and women that are in financial distress and in desperate need of new clothing! It is like shopping at a used clothing mall! I can give an entire new wardrobe without going broke! :) Thank you Goodwill!

This location is pretty clean, which is nice, some Goodwills are depressing when you go in them.
I went to find some shorts to wear on a ATV excursion. First off, they have no organization, you have to go one by one to find your size. I was having no luck, everything was either super small or way too baggy, or big. I finally found one pair and they are really cute, they are from Express and were $ 7.00. Not bad, but I would have thought at Goodwill, they would have been cheaper. I have heard of people finding brand new clothes as well as really nice shoes and purses. I have no patience in sifting through everything to find something nice. You will definitely be looking for a while to find something nice or new. You might even have to go back a few times in a row.
They have a great book selection, I have gotten a few books that are like brand new. The hardbacks I believe are $ 3.99 and paperbacks are between $ 2.00 and $ 3.00. A little high for books, but not too bad.
If you are looking for a great outfit for a themed party, say 80s, halloween. etc. then you will find what you are looking for, they have great selections. You can also find household items, for your kitchen, or old appliances as well. They even have a jewelry area too, I personally haven’t looked at that area.

I find some great stuff sometimes, but sometimes the prices are way higher than if you were to buy it brand new in a regular store. The managers are rude. And I never see them do anything. One of the managers let’s a whole slew of either her family or her friends, not sure which, come in every weekend with a ton of kids and let’s them wander all over the place a muck, snapping pictures of customers, throwing things, etc. Also she holds things in the back for them which is a big No No.
AND they never ever have enough registers open. They call for back up but no one ever shows up while the manager is too good to get on the register and help out just standing around with a smug look on her face.

I stop by here once in a great while. Overall their prices are on the high side for a thrift store. I suppose it’s because it’s located in Wesley Chapel.
Their prices for women’s clothing varies on the high side. I rarely look at the tops or blouses because they are priced way too high. I recently bought a pair of jeans for $ 3.99, some Merona high heels for $ 8, and some used books which are about $ 1.67 for paperbacks and $ 3.67 for hardbacks. I look at their purses and bags too. I found a nice Michael Kors bag for $ 15 and a large Jessica Simpson tote bag for $ 4. I have to hunt for reasonable prices whenever I shop at this location though.
Their norm is high prices. For example their women’s shoes seem high. $ 9, $ 12, $ 15, $ 20. I am used to spending $ 5 to $ 8 for used shoes.
Their changing rooms are spacious and I did not have to wait long for one. They have a public restroom which is a plus especially for children and you do not have to ask if you can use their restroom as though YOU are a child.
Overall a good thrift store for variety and its large size. Not a great one due to their high prices.
