We used to love this Goodwill. I bought most of my clothes here because they were almost brand new and incredibly affordable. However, ever since they removed the fitting rooms, things have gone downhill. Their prices have become unreasonable.
Today, my family and I visited this location around 10:40-11:30 a.m. My mom found an IKEA dresser priced at $50, which seemed fair for its condition. It wasn't marked as sold, so we took the price tag to the register. We were then told it had already been sold. We were confused because there was no sold tag on the dresser, and we were literally holding the price tag. The cashier told the manager it had been sold. When my mom asked when it had sold, another employee, who didn't seem to know anything about the situation, claimed it had sold 10 minutes earlier and removed the item. We were all shocked. How can an item be sold without being marked as sold, especially when we had the price tag?
We continued shopping, and I found a used pair of American Eagle jeans priced at $16.99. That's ridiculous. I can go to Bealls, Walmart, or TJ Maxx and buy a brand-new pair of jeans for around $14.99 that will last much longer. Since this Goodwill no longer has fitting rooms and doesn't offer refunds, there's no reason to take that risk.
We found a few toys for my little sister and headed to checkout. It was the same cashier from earlier. She didn't greet us or offer any customer service. As I started counting my cash and coins, she told me I had to round my total from $0.59 to $0.60 because they don't accept pennies. I had the exact amount due, so I didn't understand why I was expected to pay more because of their policy. The entire time, she had an attitude simply because I was paying with cash.
The cashier then called over the same manager from earlier. Instead of calmly explaining the company policy, he simply looked at us and said, "Over a penny?" My response was, "Yes, money is money." As we walked away frustrated, he sarcastically said, "Have a great day," and I repeated it back.
I'm honestly disappointed by the poor customer service and management at this location. Between the confusion over the dresser, the inflated prices, the lack of fitting rooms, and the dismissive attitudes from the staff, this was one of the worst experiences we've had here. We won't be returning anytime soon. It was especially upsetting that my little sister had to witness the entire situation after being so excited about the toys she picked out. read more
