I visited the store in Bayville NJ. The manager was yelling at an employee. I was trying to mind my own business, but the more I listened to the manager, I suspected there was something wrong with her. She was slurring her words and staggering. I said, "You should sit down." She spotted numerous profanities at me and told me to leave the store. Outside, a...

I recently visited the goodwill store in Camden SC to make some donations and was shocked at how the store manager (her name tag had Denise on it) spoke to her employees. She is rude, demanding and certainly does not create a good atmosphere for her employees or the patrons in the store. I work with the public in a hospital and know first hand how stressful...

Goodwill Industries Rude Management, Mask Policy and Ridiculous Prices

Let me start out by saying I probably give all my considerable donations to Goodwill Industries. The people they hire as managers must not be well trained because they are rude to customers.

Story 1 - I do not believe healthy people should need to wear a masks, but I put it on when asked. When the employee ask me she was
very loud, demanding and rude. Given a little power to a small person and they will abuse that power. So even though I did as ask, they continued to harass us throughout the store.
Story 2 - My grandson picked up a broken piece of plastic and it was not more than an inch and said he wanted to make something with it. When I went to check out, he ask how much this broken piece of plastic was and the check out clerk ask a ridiculous price.

Because of their rudeness, taking away our First Amendment rights, trying to control and unfair pricing, I will not be giving my donations to Goodwill or shopping there.

I shop at this Goodwill at least once a week and I've never had any issues. Today, I was the first customer in the door, and I was excited to do some Christmas shopping. I donate to this store regularly as well as shop, so it's safe to say I enjoy shopping here. Today was different. I had $300 to spend and as usual, I start at one end of the store and make...

I am advocating for someone. She was shopping and at checkout the employee at register packed her items then slammed them on the counter about 7 times she said breaking some items. She went to make a complaint and was told she needed to leave and was banned from this store and other stores in maine. She would like an apology and this to be listened to or...

We have been shopping goodwill at 4200 Tom Leonard drive. Glen Allen va. 23060 for the past 2 years. Recently, the prices went up crazy. We saw a purse for $70 while it's original price brand new for $98. Another example, a set of plates 40 pieces for $170 which was not a high or well known brand name. Clothes went up compared to a consignment store and not...

Goodwill Industries Rude cashier / veterans discount

I was under the impression that goodwill gave veterans discount on purchases, I asked the rude cashier, Ronaejah, at the 3153 Solomons Island Rd. Edgewater, MD.21037 about the veterans discount, she told me she never heard of it, and she worked here and would know. I showed her on the smartphone that goodwill does give veterans discount. I bought a red tag item for 9.54 total and on mondays I thought these items are 50% of for veterans or at least the normal 10% discount, anyway she was very rude and disrespectful, do you give veterans discount or not? Please let me know or educated this cashier, and management

During Covid, I have purchased almost 100 items from all over the country. I purchased a $7.99 shirt from a N Florida location. Many much larger/heavier boxes have cost around 8 when a shirt can just go in an envelope. The price they were charging me $1.99 handling (*no problem with that*), then $11.18 for shipping. I tried to discuss with the site, but got...

30 minutes ago, 7:30 a.m., I went to the Goodwill in Buford Georgia located at Sardis Church Road and Hamilton Mill Road to drop off donations. I work during the times that that store is open and the only time that I can leave donations is before I go to work. This is the second time that I have gone there to leave a donation and the same black lady, who...

I am very upset with the fact that a face shield isn't good enough, you have to micro manage and take control of how people who try to support you by shopping in your stores are permitted to BREATHE. A mask over the mouth ONLY is the newest demand. Even the health professionals know this whole thing is ridiculous and masks don't do a thing for a virus that...
