First of all the jewelry counter lady . She is rude on command its like she is there getting paid…read moreto be rude and when you ask a legitimate question about a piece of jewelry he answer is " we can't verify if it's real we are not jewelers" but they priced things at $900 ,$1k without knowing if it's real ? Make it make sense. They get it for free and sell it a gold spot price without but "they don't know if it's real " . But the attitude , the rudeness ,she acts like we,the costumers are there to bother and she is not there to work.The managers are rude and treat the workers like kids yelling at them and giving them horrible treatment I've seen it with my own eyes multiple times . They need to learn to treat people with respect .

Clean restrooms, and I always get an ice cold Coke from the machine (cheaper than at any grocery store).

But, otherwise, I would recommend Ross, Marshalls, tj max, or Burlington. They're all discounted shops that are comparable to the goodwill prices, but they're new. Eg. Ross had a painting for similar size around 25$. This painting is $20. You can find unique items here though.

It's Goodwill so what does one really expect? Lots of people seem to get drawn to stores like this…read moreand somehow cobble together good looks for their wardrobe. I don't know how long they may be going through the clothes and formulating the outfits in their mind but some pull it off really well. For me more often than not it doesn't go that way. More specifically with this particular store they always accept the clothes I give for donation. It's almost always clothes I can't fit into and unlikely I ever will again. As a customer the first time here was frustrating. Returns aren't likely to happen but Steve bought a pair of shoes here and both shoes were for the left foot. The folks acknowledged the situation but wouldn't give a refund. So watch out for stuff like that. After a long absence as a shopper here after that we came here and bought some pieces of luggage for some upcoming longer trips we will be doing in the next year or two. Nothing seems amiss with the luggage so I think that transaction and the items will meet their purpose. However if a bad turn comes of an unusual sort with the luggage we bought here that may be relevant to Goodwill I'll post an update but it's unlikely.

I was really surprised at how much I liked this place. It was about as clean as you can expect a…read moregoodwill outlet to be and the staff was super nice and helpful. There were a lot of people there who were clearly regulars. Shopping at the bins is always going to be a competitive environment, everyone's looking for the best stuff in a limited space. It can easily get a little combative in other locations, I've seen pushing, grabbing, and even fighting at other outlets and to some extent I expect it. But that was just not the vibe here, it was relatively chill. The staff here had very clear procedures to make it as fair as possible which they kindly but firmly enforced for everyone. From what I witnessed, all the other patrons respected the rules and kept calm and considerate of each other even in such a small space where everyone's digging around in the same area. And of course you can't beat the value, it takes some effort but I got so much great stuff for way less than I expected to spend. They have just about everything you could ever want, clothes, books, toys, household items. I will be back for sure.

The automated line says donations are accepted until 6:30pm but they actually stop accepting at 5pm. The employee I spoke to seemed inconvenienced but I can't say that I blame her, as she probably gets the question numerous times at the end of her shift, I imagine. 4 other cars showed up to take donations in the 5 minutes I was parked. Y'all are missing out on some good loot. Perhaps an actual person answering the phone would be more efficient? Robots for everything these days. My frustration is that I arranged childcare, loaded a CRV full of donations and drove all the way there to be turned away. Now I have to take my stuff home and unload it before I can pick up my child. Bogus!

But today I ended up being 4 minutes late even though I left so early. I tried calling through the Bluetooth in my car once I realized I'd be a tad late but of course, it being a Saturday, nobody was manning the phone. The door was locked when I arrived and the instructor didn't even have the courtesy to come to the door and say "you're late, too bad so sad." If you can, get your CPR through the American Heart Association or literally anywhere else. This instructor must be some super-human who has never had car problems, unexpected road conditions, etc. I sure hope that if this instructor is ever late to anything that they get locked out of wherever they're going. Even when we plan ahead stuff happens that's outside of our control. It's called life. I understand not accepting people past 10 or even maybe 5 minutes. But 4 minutes and you won't acknowledge me? I think we can all agree that that's ridiculous.
