Can't give zero so. Unreliable, unprofessional, and truly a no-show. I found out the night before that he wasn't coming.

Not a bad location. They had plenty of nice women's plus size clothes. The store was clean and…read morewe'll organized

I go to Goodwills all over the country and when I asked to see some purses in a case, after looking…read moreat the bags I saw that 3 of the bags were fake. Fake Gucci, and Prada. I picked out a REAL Michael Kors bag that was only $8. But the fake bags they had marked at $50 a piece. I can understand paying $50 for a used real bag. But not for a fake one. I asked if they knew they were fake (based on the price not matching what it is) and the manager got super hostile with me and claimed it doesn't matter because that's what they sell fake bags at the store for. Uhhh it's illegal to sell fake bags in real stores so I don't know what kind of stores she's talking about in Decatur but in big cities you can only buy fake bags on the street corner. You can't even buy them on Facebook marketplace anymore. LOL Anyway, the woman was just so overly rude when I was just trying to ask about the prices. I really didn't understand why the attitude? I don't come to goodwill to be screamed at in front of the entire store where other customers in line are asking me what happened. Goodwill perpetuates itself as a "charity" but the customers like me that travel all over the country going to these places get treated like garbage? I don't think so. Get a grip goodwill manager. Oh I just noticed that they double charged me for a $9 item. When I was checking out I asked the cashier twice if I could wrap the porcelain items I got, which she got out paper for so after she rang a few up I took them and wrapped them. But then when she finished ringing all of them up I didn't get to wrap them and she was just throwing them in the bag all together. I had to ask a third time to wrap them because I said the paint was really fragile and she was just like "oh".

I am by no means a thrifter. Thrift shops have a weird smell and I'm way too impatient to sort…read morethrough them. Which is ironic because I have no problem spending 48 hours in a Banana Republic outlet. Not to mention Dillards but I digress.. Granny wanted to go to The Goodwill so we did. It's a fairly new location right off of Flat Shoals Pkwy, in the plaza with Family Dollar. There's parking galore and the store is huge! There's bad music playing (like in most stores) and it's brightly lit. Items range from toys to clothes to furniture. New inventory arrives every fifteen minutes so as you can imagine, there's a lot of stuff! The store is very organized but in a weird, savant sort of way. Shirts are sorted by type (t-shirt, blouse, uniform) and color (pink, rose, fuscia), but not by size. The denim section is just as crazy. They have rows and rows of jeans that aren't sorted by size. We were looking for petites. There's no petite section :(. But the selection is vast, the fitting rooms are clean, there are cool shopping carts and some pretty good sales if you can figure them out. Tiny plastic tabs are attached to each item. If you get a certain color tag (and the color changes weekly) you get a percentage off! I thought the prices were a little high. But my brother (a card-carrying member of Thrifters Anonymous) explained that Goodwill Industries is non-profit. Items are more than they would be at a Value Village because 83% of their revenue is spent on programs. The Goodwill helped over 300,000 people find jobs last year so you're shopping for a cause. A random sample of prices: Slippers $3 Ties $3 Women's pants $5.75 Women's blouses $5.75 Shoes $6 Women's jeans $7.47 Overpriced piece of gym equipment $350 Yes, there are a lot of questionable items. But if you take your time, I'm sure you will find some diamonds in the rough. Happy treasure hunting!

Always clean and organized. I founnd the prettiest last mInute Calvin Klein dress in here and got…read moreit for about $6 bucks at $150 retail!

I never thought to "rate" a volunteering center until I saw a list of the best places to volunteer,…read morebut it is definitely important. I have been here several times both for school credit and for interest. It was funny how the first time I went here, it was shortly before I started nursing school and I was exposed to so many different types of medical equipment and I was thinking "I am going to be working with all these things?" Years later, I can quickly tell the difference between different types of equipment, or at least sometimes I can give a basic category. The staff here is awesome and I love the way they are set up online. I have always left here feeling like I contributed to a global movement and it helps that I work in healthcare. My only complaint once was that after emailing the volunteer coordinator about a potential friend joining, they said they were "past the limit" when many people didn't show up that day and from my experiences with planning volunteer events, 100% of the people who sign up never come. Also, I think they can do a little better job of orienting new people. Even after having volunteered here a couple of times, there were days where I had no direction and was confused as to what I was suppose to be doing and did extra work for 20 minutes before I realized what I was suppose to be doing. I could have used those 20 minutes for productivity.

Medshare is a non profit humanitarian aid organization. I volunteered with a bunch of coworkers on…read moreour annual day of service. This was my third year. I believe the work they do is phenomenal. Medshare collects and distributes medical supplies and biomedical equipment and training to underserved communities in need around the world; 97 countries to date. It's hard to critique such a place. They are literally saving lives! As a volunteer who was on the afternoon shift (1pm-4pm), there was significant time wasted and not used to actually pack supplies. They told our group to arrive 15 minutes early before the shift started, which we did. However, orientation didn't start until 1:15. They showed a 5 minute video explaining what they do and who they help. Then introductions of the staff and a tour of the large facility. Not sure exactly how long that took but easily 30 minutes. For us repeat volunteers not time well spent. Then around 3:30pm the staff told us to finish our final boxes and clean up our area. After a brief wrap up speech and tally of boxes packed for our shift, we were out the door at 3:50pm. We probably got 90 minutes of hands on work. Would love to do more.
