Especially if they throw stuff around at stores like that... It says a lot about their cleanliness. All of a sudden I saw people line up and I asked an employee what that was about and I guess they're all waiting for the supposed new merchandise to dig in. That's just freaking crazy.

The store now no longer puts price tags on their items and expects the buyer to go to the counter to ask for prices on items each time now they want to know the price. That is only to the store's advantage. If all items are not priced, it may give flexibility to the staff who can decide to research the item online with their smart phone before stating the price, to see its current value. But it can be also a way to size up customers (by their behavior and the way they dress) which is an unfair advantage. Goodwill, Salvation Army. Hope and Savers would never do that. Perhaps this thrift store simply hopes that people won't ask the prices on things and just assume the prices are the same as before on the average, bringing the items to the counter only when it is time to purchase. Then later see how much they were charged on their receipt, if they even notice.

I was driving down from San Francisco to Southern California, and I had some clothes that I had been meaning to donate for months. I don't know anything about Salinas, but I assumed it was a big enough city to have a Goodwill, so I looked it up on Yelp and was soon making that right turn into the northern entrance to the parking lot. As I assumed, you can donate in the back of the building. There were already a couple of cars parked in the donation lane, but I only had a small bag, so I found a spot in the totally weird and slightly sus back of the parking lot and walked my bag toward the rear loading doors. It took a minute or two for one of the workers to come out of the store, but he was immediately friendly. He greeted me, told me I could leave my bag anywhere, and thanked me. And I was quickly off, back to my car. When leaving, I used the southern driveway. See, the parking lot surrounds the building, so you can enter and exit from either end (I think). There are parking spots across from the building as you drive along it, but there are many more way behind the building, where I parked. A dumpster was blocking some parking spots, and I had to maneuver to get around a parked semi-truck, which didn't fit in any spot. It was the middle of the day, so I wasn't really worried, but it's probably not the safest parking lot just because of how far away from the building and secluded it is. Main Street is pretty busy, and it's difficult to seen oncoming traffic because the building is in your way, so be very careful when exiting, on either side of the building. When I drove around looking for a place to eat, I saw that there was another Goodwill in Westridge Plaza, which is much more convenient to the 101 than this location is. Still, I'm glad my clothes will have new life, and I can't complain about the donation process here.

They were laborers, agriculture field workers, and buying the newest and latest clothing, shoes, and household goods at department stores was a luxury that they just could not afford. You would think I grew up resentful for not having the latest and trendiest clothing and shoes. Instead it made me appreciate the availability of thrift stores like Goodwill that would clothe me and my family on a budget. In fact, for the most part, I have fond memories of digging for treasures at thrift stores like Goodwill. Until this day I thrift, not only for the savings and nostalgia, but for the thrill of finding a unique item at a reasonable price. My favorite articles of clothing are thrifted from here! I get compliments in what I wear from here all the time! I even found a retro clock here that I have always wanted and sought after for years! I'm not exaggerating when I say that when I found it on the shelf in perfect condition, I was so happy, it nearly brought a tear to my eye! The bonus is shopping at Goodwill and thrift stores is good for the environment too! I have an income where I can afford the newest, trendiest clothes, from the nearby shopping mall, and especially from stores like Ross, Marshall's, TJ MAXX, etc., but where is the fun in "cookie cutter fashion"?! Where is the thrill of buying what everyone else has?! That just doesn't vibe with unique personalities and I want to convey through my clothes and home decor that I'm not "basic" and boring. I started visiting this Goodwill about four years ago. I got a renewed interest in Goodwill shortly after the beginning of the Covid pandemic. Probably because of the uncertainty of the time and the scarcity of items and places to shop at. I was pleasantly surprised of the variety of items, clothing, shoes, books, and household items, and accessories that I found here! There's literally something for everyone! It's difficult to find quality items at a thrift store and this one by far has an excellent selection! It is now in my regular rotation of thrift stores to visit. It has also became my favorite Goodwill in California, and I have been to many Goodwills in my home state of California! One of the biggest reasons why it is my favorite thrift store is because it is clean. I don't walk in and get that unpleasant, disgusting whiff of body odor, moth balls, and stale air that is a common lingering odor in thrift stores. The used clothes are generally gently used and don't have stains or rips. I'm not tripping over merchandise and dodging junk on the floors. I don't worry about needing a tetanus shot because a worker didn't care to clean up a broken item on the shelf or on the floor. Most items are reasonably priced, they have new items too, and the staff are friendly and helpful. They offer to wrap your fragile items with clean newspaper and tape before you have to ask! I think it is because of the outstanding job by the manager Alex and the qualified staff. The manager Alex makes it a point to greet customers, makes customers feel welcome and valued, and he is always on point in making sure that his employees keep everything tidy and clean. This place runs like " a well oiled machine"! They are not only offering goods but a pleasant atmosphere to shop in. The professionalism is outstanding! The customers at times can be pretty "ghetto", letting their kids run around and dropping fragile items, but the employees handle it all with grace and professionalism. The employees seem happy and get along with one another and that is a reflection of how well kept and good the management staff is. When everyone understands the expectation of a comfortable environment and workplace, the entire atmosphere and vibe is felt by the customers. I appreciate that Alex and his staff take pride in what they do. They seem to genuinely care about their job and for all the people walking through the door. There's always plenty of parking. The donation location is clearly set up, clean, and doesn't interfere with the flow of traffic. There are occasional homeless folks outside and inside the store but the Goodwill staff is keenly aware of them and makes sure that the customer's safety and needs are the priority. I hope that the employees are appreciated by corporate headquarters because there is something very special about this thrift store. They are the benchmark for all thrift stores and I hope they will be recognized for what they do.
