    Made a usual donation today and went in the store for the first time ever. Odd that I've been to a…read moremillion Goodwill stores and I'd never been in the one closest to me, where I donate multiple times per year. THE DL: Large enough store but not nearly the size of others in the greater area. Organized departments, but I didn't like that toys had a small section in back, and then most were scattered around on shelves between clothing racks. To browse toys you had to walk all the clothing aisles and kids can't even see them. Fewer junk-grade housewares than other local stores I've recently visited, but nothing spectacular. Lots of Pyrex to replace baking needs, cool vintage stainless steel pans, and other tried/true kitchen and dining brands. Relatively large book and DVD section. I found 3 DVDs for entertainment. Also got 4 kid books, and was impressed at the authors/titles, no junk books spun off of movie/TV characters, or written by Bravo idiots. I wanted a nice garden book but the only one I saw I already have. I was able to get a couple replacement plates for my exact Pfaltzgraff everyday stoneware, and saw the Dollar Tree mock-Fiesta plates I had many moons ago before the real McCoy (which broke enough times over the years I wish I'd just kept the DT version). Anyway, just illustrating the hit-or-miss-ness and nostalgic practical finds today. MY OP-ED: There were a LOT of people in there. Pickers were territorial and impolite. They staked out a section and their desperation was felt through their unwillingness to say "excuse me," or move aside to let a cart pass, or allow anyone to look in "their" current browsing section. Even the staff had to take pains to get around them. When new items were brought out, the regulars flocked to them and were almost as bad as the hags at the Lilly Pulitzer warehouse sales I attended years ago. Ha ha, speaking of Lilly, the non-picker clients were locals and I saw several wearing Lilly today. At least they're not too bougie for thrifting! (I used to wear Lilly in my 20s until a therapist in Merion once said to me, "Why do grown women choose to dress like little girls?" Mean but true.) I haven't thrifted in a while but have had two bouts of thrifting this year to teach my son not everything needs to be new, and to instruct him on pocket change/spending. In most stores there is a new phenomenon of greedy energy from the pickers who watch YouTube and think they know what to look for and hope to make a living on eBay. I've sold tons on eBay and used to make a good garage sale of it, but the claims that it can sustain you doing it full time are 100% unrealistic to me from my long and thorough experience. If you live on meager wages, perhaps, but not worth my time to garage sale there anymore. So thrifting is NOT what it used to be; it's super annoying to have everything picked over mostly by Goodwill itself, snagging high value items for Internet sales (every Goodwill store has an eBay account and I've bought from tons of them), but to then have the pickers hovering around housewares, thinking they'll catch a scrap that personnel missed in the back, really ruins the experience. The pickers were there for half my visit and my visit ran long because I truly wanted to browse every department for a decent review. Got out of there spending $43 with useful items but nothing I'd call an amazing deal or very cool find.

    12/2/23 I loved this Good Will- BUT- item after item after item had no prices! Goodwill normally…read morewon't allow you to purchase items without prices-but there was a wooden toy I wanted for my grand baby. I asked a worker about the price policy and if he could price something. Apparently only a manager can price something. I was able to catch the manager at a good time and he priced the item I wanted so I was happy happy happy!!! I was told by the worker that a manager CAN price merchandise but it doesn't mean they WILL. I would definitely come back I love Good Will!! It's the BEST!!

    Alert!!! under new management and went from exceptional to trash overnight! The new management…read moredoesn't care and doesn't have a clue how to run a food pantry. They are only concerned with getting financial donations! The food I got under new management was poor quality basically someone's trash. Expired food, moldy stale bread, un marked tin cans, and repackaged raw meat with no labels. one client showed me a rodent had chewed on the corner of a food box - she said be careful to me. Oh even more disgusting is The leadership was rude and condescending to many other clients, treated a handful like they were trash! It disgusted me to witness . The former director Paul truly cared! Now it's just a nasty place! Wow they don't run things orderly anymore. It was chaos in line. The new director clueless Mikey and the other leadership team were standing around - the director was talking down to while ordering a very elderly volunteer around! Yikes - you could see the stress and anger flowing from Mikey. I believe that old guy quit that night. Hostile Hostile Hostile - So much so I couldn't stay a second day in such a hostile place. One of the volunteers, an older crass woman, was making racist remarks as some of the clients of color were exiting. It was soo sickening it hurt deeply I just left. I didn't want to be anywhere around that place. I'm in need and I left hungry. I will never go back to that location. I hear the church is suing Paul personally for $50,000.00 plus and all for their own chaos - it's clear to me who is causing problem! It is soo sickening to hear of the church's unthinkable actions against Paul!!! It is well known he has volunteered there for at least 25yrs - that action against him alone shows they only care about money.All the rest I've commented on only reinforced that thought in my mind. I bet they are drinking the food banks cash flow dry Their own little or not so little piggy bank. Any way you slice it - it smells!
