I unfortunately have first count experience for working at Goodwill. I don't know how others operate, but it seems pretty universal on it's policies. First off, your items will most likely be thrown out. The store always needs room to place it's newest arrivals and I have seem perfectly good/sealed packages thrown into the "trash bins!" I've seem items that were never used but discarded because it was too expensive to display or simply there was to much junk on the shelves. They pile too much junk on the shelves and often it's tipped over which can be a softy issue It would be nice to see the aging junk replaced by the good or new items received. It's a shame that the items that are trashed are not given to another store or just given back to the giver for them to donate else where to their choosing. Plus, Target items get first priority. If an item come's from Target, room must be made for these items, even if it means discarding perfectly good merchandise. The attendants at the receiving dock are made to stand on their feet, often in an unheated environment in the Winter. Have you seen their prices? You can most likely get new ones at Walmart for cheaper! Plus i'm disabled (back) abd they wouldn't accommodate me even with a doctor's note. I was put on unpaid leave on absence until I get a "modified" note. The human resources person Celina Davis is a bitch and will mock you when asking for accommodations. She is truly a heartless person who replies just with "mocking" laughter when you talk to her about something serious. Ranji Jacob, the manager, is "ok", but will show favoritism to those who kiss his ass. Plus, the whole thing about accommodating those with "disabilities" is a joke. They can't even accomodate their employees who have disabilities. Most of the money goes to the "fat cats, " upper management. I know I'm not alone with these "issues, " look at the others who have had similar problems as myself in other states! Please, donate your items to a local church or synagogue or whatever charitable donation you choose who won't "over price" your items for profit and can genuinely help those in need without a mark up. They won't throw out your items, in which you value genuinely, and they will make sure it's sold or donated without throwing it out. Please spend your money at the Sxxxxx Axxxx or local Thrift stores who are more concerned about helping others and not to make a profit or abuse it's employees. Thank You
sorry, allowing you to give a competitors name would instigate others to just file against their competition, to only come back later to suggest their company your comments on this policy are welcome!
