I would yap with them while I was resting between sets but would try and keep it short to be able to finish using the machine. Someone comes up to me and says something along the lines of are you using this machine while i was getting up to switch with my friend. I said yes I have one more set and my friend is just starting. They tell us to stop talking so much and hurry up, we say sorry and let him use the machine to avoid any trouble. They walks away and another person goes up to them and says I glad you said something they are taking too long. On another occasion, someone was rushing us off machines by standing and watching us workout. It was very awkward and I will not be going back!

So after searching for about 45 minutes, i realized that i kept passing it back in an industrial park off Meridian, behind the old Sears and WFC. The signs are not marked well and its connected to a game store. I walked in and was greeted by a very nice man who thoroughly explained how it works. They were actuallu closed but he was working late and allowed us to shop. Dont forgetvto bring exact change if possible. They dont carry change. So my boyfriend and i puchased 3 bags each with the intention on bringing them back to get an even better discount. My boyfriend isnt a shopper but he will join me to hang out. But he wemt crazy in this place. We had so much fun. The selection of clothing was very impressive and they had everything. We spent about an hour and a half there and scored with name brand clothing. I love this place and would like to even volunteer someday. Its a must on thrift deals. My only gripe are the hours open. Its inconvenient but still worth it

And just as happy when they announced they'd found a new space and were planning to reopen. I have to say, having visited there a few times now, I'm pretty disappointed. The new space is still downtown, but a few blocks west of their previous location. Where parking was free at that spot, it's metered at this one. When I think of all the vacant retail spaces in town, many with parking lots or at least free street parking, it leaves me perplexed. And the new space itself is so incredibly small and disjointed. It's separated into multiple, small rooms. Their inventory is but a shadow of its former self. And the prices have gone up. Wayyyy up. Perhaps most perplexing is the complete lack of classroom space, which they'd gone to so much trouble to add in their own space. Combined all of this with semi-surly, N95'd employees and well... to put it simply...I don't see the appeal in returning here anytime soon. For now, I miss the old Ragfinery and hope they turn things around.

This Goodwill is IMO the gold standard of thrift shops. I've visited here a few times just to donate bags of clothes that no longer fit me, but until recently, I've never shopped around in here. But on my last visit when donating bags, the lady who helped me suggested I "shop around", so I decided to have a look-see, if only to write a Yelp review. But man oh man, I was blown away by this place! Here's why: -it's huge, immaculate, incredibly well-laid out, with clear and large signage suspended from the ceilings, so at a glance you can see where every department is located (i.e., womens, mens, kids, household, toys, etc). -the people who work here are incredibly friendly and helpful. Even when I was bringing in my bags to donate, the woman at the front cash came over immediately to help me put these big bags in their donation bin at the front of the store. I didn't ask her to help me, and I wasn't really struggling, but boy, it was nice to get the assistance. (Note: there is a donation area at the rear of the store but I drove around this complex of stores and couldn't find the rear donation area. So I brought my bags of clothes into the store via the front door). -the store is laid out like a real store/boutique with display tables and mannequins in the front (when I visited, since is was early June, they had a summer theme going, with mannequins in swimsuits and beach attire, displaying summery accessories, and colorful beach towels on tables, etc). -there are a bunch of fitting rooms here and they are large and immaculate. -the clothing sections were the most organized I have ever seen, hands down, anywhere. I checked out the women's section for a long time. There were long areas labelled "activewear", "short-sleeved tops", "long-sleeved tops", "capris", "jeans", "pants", "sweaters", "jackets", "swimwear". Within each section, the clothes were arranged by size (small, medium, large). (Note: there is a whole 'nother large section just for plus size women). And THEN, within each section organized by size, all the clothes were arranged by color (all the whites, then yellows, then oranges, then reds, etc., etc). I have not seen such attention to detail in organizing clothes in a thrift store anywhere -Now I have to mention the clothing itself, as this was another feature of the store that blew me away. Not only was the selection of clothing in each section huge and meticulously organized, but the clothing itself was bloody AMAZING. Everything looked new. I kid you not. Many items still had original tags on them but those items that didn't still looked new. I looked through everything (I was there a LONG time). I didn't see one item that had an errant thread or a missing button or a defective zipper or a rip or tear or stain. Nothing had a weird, musky smell (some stuff from thrift stores have a musky smell. I know you know what I'm talking about). Every single item was in pristine condition. And I am no fashionita but even I recognized SO many big, high-end brand names: Nicole Miller, Ann Taylor, Patagonia, Columbia, Michael Kors, Guess, True Religion, Brandy Melville, Madewell....... So many more, I can't remember. Oh, Adidas, Nike, Puma, Athletica..... You get the idea. High quality, brand names, all in pristine condition. -I see some people complaining about pricing here. Well, compared to so many thrift stores, this Goodwill's pricing is freaking amazing! Tops are in the $3.99-5.99 range (keep in mind, some are totally new, the rest look totally new, and are in perfect condition). Jackets were $7.99-24.99. I got a bunch of tops and 2 light-weight jackets and a designer sweatshirt for under $40. C'mon, you can't beat that! And keep in mind, Goodwill isn't a for-profit organization. The money they get goes to their mission (check out their website for info on this wonderful organization and to learn how it helps people get back on their feet, in communities across the US). I really have a hard time understanding how reviewers here are complaining about the prices of items here. A new Puma work-out tank top, NEW, for $2.99? C'mon! (NOTE: every Wednesday they give an extra 20% discount to military people and folks over 62 years old. Hey, that's me! Bonus!). The household/linens area isn't large and many shelves were empty but the lady at the cash told me they'd be remodeling this area soon. So stay tuned! This is a wonderful store, and I am adding it to my "must go-to" list of places whenever I visit B'Ham.

Visited this Goodwill location a few months ago…read more In short: the prices have gone up enough that it's almost not worth stopping by anymore. I'm sure rents have gone up and Goodwill is feeling the pinch like a lot of businesses/not for profits these days but when your closest competition is Value Village and your prices match or exceed VV's, that's a red flag to me. Our most recent visit was definitely our most disappointing one. I found a number of interesting looking games, two of which had multiple price stickers. These two were both card games and when I brought these to the attention of an employee I was told that the higher of the marked prices were the most recent. Each of those card games was priced at $10, which to me was ludicrous. On the other hand, large boxed games like Monopoly were less than that. Clothing was also more expensive than I'm used to in this shop and so I found very little of interest. The selection and quality varies widely as you might expect, so you never know what you're going to find. Plenty of parking out front and the staff were friendly enough.
