    I was confused by the wide diversity of ratings for this store, but my recent visit may have given…read moreme some insight as to why they are so different. I was recently shopping at the store and as I shopped i overheard an interaction between the lady at the front desk and a customer. The customer was inquiring about a book he had found that had no price on it. The lady at the desk apologized and told him it had been an oversight. He demanded to know why it had happened. She explained that they had a new volunteer and that they had just missed it. He then stated , very loudly, that she was obnoxious! She had been nothing but polite and pleasant . His reaction was rude and ridiculous. So please do not let these 1 star reviews put you off. I found the store clean, well organized and stocked with excellent bargains and the older lady at the front desk who checked me out was extremely polite and helpful.

    Holy cow, I should have believed the reviews about the customer service! The older lady with purple…read morehair was incredibly rude. She doesn't need to work with customers, she creates a very hostile environment. Also, the music was blaring and made it uncomfortable to try to shop. The "children's room" had no children's clothes, which was disappointing. We went to the goodwill boutique right before and had an extremely pleasant experience and spent quite a lot there. Won't be back to Salvation Army and will recommend the goodwill boutique to everyone instead!

    I do not normally write reviews but I need to tell my experience of what happened here. I'm not…read morefrom South Carolina, I'm traveling back to Florida after an event. Walking around was fine, I was making conversation with the two women working. I know I was being pretty heavily watched which normally doesn't bother me. I have colored hair, piercings, tattoos, and I had a larger than average bag on me. I am a general manager in retail, so I understand watching people for shop lifting. I also do local art booths where I'm from, so I understand having your own business and experiencing theft. It's very hard, financially and mentally. After what covid brought down on every local business owner I understand being protective of your own livelihood. But! There was a line crossed here, I walked around for maybe 30 minutes. I made sure to keep my items(which were large) in sight, and I also tried not to make any sudden movements with my bag or pockets. I understand that was not always possible, but I digress. The owner and me were making conversation. She tells me about her other store, which she had to close down, and her new security system in her current store. (18 cameras, controlled by an Alexa, incase anybody was wondering). Im at the counter to pay, my card declines because my wife used it for online shopping and I didn't know. But I very quickly fix it, apologize, and then pay for things and leave. I'm almost to my car when I hear the owner calling out. I turn around and walk to her and that's when she accuses me of shoplifting. So, I throw my bag on the ground and tell her to go through it. I was not being treated with any respect so why would I give her any. I ask if she wants me to take off my jacket, or do anything else and she says no. I end up going back in, because I was over charged. Even if the owner says I wasn't, I know how to read. Normally it wouldn't bother me and I'd let it go but I was angry. We get into a little disagreement at the register, she mentions playing back the cameras. At this point I don't care about paying the 27$, both of these items are gifts. Who cares, I am on a salary and I make good money AND I LIKE SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESSES. But then she says, "you are just mad because you got caught shoplifting". That's the reason I'm writing this review. I ask her to play back the cameras, she doesn't. I ask her why she thinks that, she gives me a timeline of my walkthrough that wasn't accurate. I am visibly upset, my voice is cracking, because it really did upset me. The way I was talked down to here was not okay. I hope that she does read this, and then she can bring it upon herself to learn how to talk to people correctly. There's a way to handle people who shoplift, or who you suspect might be. I gave her no attitude until I was accused in public view. If she had asked me to remove my bag while shopping, or my jacket, or really anything else other than following me out of store and accusing me on a busy street I would of been fine with it. I don't care that she thought I was shoplifting, I care about how I was approached about it. Overall though, the store did have a lot of cool things. Really good vintage items, most of them were fairly priced as well which is surprising for a store in a smaller town. There was really beautiful art work, that was again very fairly priced. I hope this store does thrive and stay open for years to come. I enjoyed my time here until I left and the events above happened. If you're looking for a place with cool knickknacks and other vintage items this is definitely the place. Maybe just leave you're bag in the car!!

    I've been a consistent goodwill shopper for over 30+ years and have spent a LOT of $$ AND donated a…read moreLOT too, this is by far the WORST experience I have ever had. I was in town visiting a friend and decided to check out the local thrift "haunts".. firstly.. it's soooo dirty! its gross, stinky and uninviting but you push through thinking of the bargins... but wow.. not sure who's pricing these things but dollar store things listed for $3 or more?! ummm NO.. then you get to clothing where they are blanket pricing target/walmart shirts for $6???? I can get those that price when they are new and on sale.. many items on the shelves are broken and just thrown all over. The worst part was check out... when the lady was done charging me I sat there waiting and she looked at me like she was waiting for something and I asked about a bag.. she said we dont do bags.. but you can buy one.. ummm I had just purchased over 15 items of clothing AND 6 ceramic mugs.. I made the comment that they were turning into one of the "for profit" stores and that in all the time I have shopped at goodwill I have NEVER had to provide my own bag.. her snarky little comment was "well you dont have to shop here" at which point I responded "wow! arent you snarkie.. and I dont have donate here any more either" I mean seriously?! WTF?! The goodwill I KNEW was there for the community.. this is NOT the attitude that a company that is supposed to serve the community should be having and this employee should be limited to the backroom where she doesn't interact with people. I hire people and staff big events.. she would have been fired immediately if I witnessed that type of customer service.. and their prices don't serve that community either.. but the sheer attitude of this nasty little woman was shocking.. NEVER again ... if i could give ZERO stars I would
