Waynesville Goodwill store has a funky odor that permeates the entire store. The staff always say…read morehello and seem kind. Unfortunately all the shelves are chaotic and like items are not together. The quality of donations is not a draw. The pricing is crazy. Although I live in the general area of this store I drive 10 miles to the Canton Goodwill store that looks and feels like a retail outlet. The clothing and shelfs are organized and appealing, the floors look great and the staff are kind and hardworking.

I find it hard to resist Goodwills, even with sassy ladies working there. However, I do not feel…read morefully comfortable at this one anymore. There was a weird energy in the air. An elderly pilferer had just left, and that constituted high drama to some. The cashier that I had mentioned in my last update was spending time on the floor with a fellow employee. I strained to hear their low conversation, and a young man strained his body toward this cashier, imploring her for help. An older woman, would could not bear the strain of waiting in line, went back to browsing, and I got in line, which lines up towards the side-left. The cashier came back. She chatted with the older woman, who was approaching the register with an item. The chatting was comfortable, so I knew that the cashier and this older woman were familiar with each other. The older woman decided that I was not in line and got directly behind another woman at the register, which any Goodwill devotee knows is a faux pas. The line consists of side-to-side people. There is no room to get directly behind others in this Goodwill, as one would block a main thoroughfare to Corelle dishes. Last year, a woman asked if she could butt in front of me at this Goodwill. I relented out of weakness. Her husband was waiting. I wanted to tell her that so was mine. My husband lost it when he wondered what had taken me so long. Hers didn't. I am a crazy person magnet. If you got Squeaky Fromme, Andrew Wakefield, and a descendent of Josef Mengele in the same room with me, they would be telling me their life stories while ignoring any concept of time, space, or manners. Somehow, they sense my inner rube and descend. My husband cringes and sighs. So, of course, this older woman asked to butt in front of me. I, of course relented, because her time and narcissism are important to her, and I do not want to make waves. This woman felt that because she was actually in line before me- but then left the line- that that entitled her to go before me. This angered my husband, and he was making light comments in disbelief. Then it gets even more uncomfortable. The cashier actually asked my husband what he was commenting about, which can be seen as aggressive. I think that her heart was in the right place, but it was if she was almost daring us to say that the older woman- her friend- was rude to butt in front of us. I felt conflicted, because on the one hand the cashier was saying that I was nice to let the woman go ahead of me, but on the other hand she was saying that people that have the gall to ask to butt in front of you deserve a high five. Later that same day, we got falsely accused of butting, had to fight off another butter, and then I accidentally butted in front of a woman*. Life is the butt of the joke. *Please see my update on the Waynesville Ingles for more high jinks. I did not realize I was butting in front of someone at the health department, as I was elated due to defying anti-moms and due to imminent disease defiance in defiant children.

Just go into the bank and use the office map and the elevator. It is nice and quiet. Good luck!

We tried to connect through emails in an unrelated matter (Summer 2017), but alas, our stars did not align. I would be pushy if you really want to see him. I did not have any trouble seeing Scott the second time around (March 2017). His staff is nice, and they have coffee. Scott is nice, too. He has a quiet, grounding energy that would bolster clients. We did not need his bolstering- he was able to answer our legal question, and we were on our way. Don't get me wrong- he helped us, and that means a lot when you feel lost in the legal world. Scott will not waste your time, and I recommend him.

During an already painful and difficult time, this added further distress.
