DOLLARS. last i checked, goodwill food pajama twinkie pants weren't this expensive!! that day, i only got the mug and TWINKIE PANTS!!! from what i remember. i will always be goodwills biggest fan. saving the planet and looking stylish while doing it is a big priority for me. in quarantine, my biggest effect is not thrifting and thriving. as soon as goodwill opens, you know ima zoom my little booty to my neared goodwill. this goodwill does and will always have a special place in my heart. besides from the clothes, the employees are amazing!! i really appreciate their customer service!! when i've been, some have even spoken other languages. i can speak some vietnamese, not to brag. zin chow toi la, klaire. weird flex but ok. employees, i appreciate you. overall, goodwill is the best. amazing prices for amazing products (twinkie pants!!!) :)

They did mention they could do more with a full 6 hours deep clean (e.g. address very faint water spots, inside of appliances, etc) but the upsell pressure was minimal and they kept inside budget.

That was back in June. I've called back several times and left a message for a manger but haven't gotten a response.

Seems like this place charges you for a bunch of stuff to get money and then as soon as you walk out the door they're done helping you. Was also informed by a lady at the front desk that my kitten was too young to be licensed but I was charged a licensing fee? This place is just a money grab.
