Goodwill Donation Center, Retail Store & Job Connection Center Ashland — Attraction in Ashland

The employees at this store have changed throughout the years but all of them have always been awesome and are the most hardworking people in Ashland. This review is just for one issue that we've had at not just the Ashland Goodwill but several. Customers bring their dogs in often, sometimes multiple dogs to each customer. Most of the dogs are well trained and are not an issue but several times at several different goodwills, dogs have growled, barked and lunged at us and other customers. At a recent visit at this particular store, this happened again with a large pitbull. We grabbed something to protect ourselves in case of a dog attack as we've witnessed dog attacks at other establishments. We also alerted the manager. The manager talked to the owner and let the owner know kindly and respectfully that If they couldn't control their dog, they would have to take their dog out of the store. This was a very appreciated as many times the situation with aggressive dogs is ignored in public places.

We are dog people. We love dogs. We don't love going to public places with aggressive dogs or dirty dogs, especially if the owner isn't attending them and they rub their dog hair or dirt all over our clothing or jump on us, sniff us etc. Not everyone however is a dog person. There are people that have been attacked and have trauma because of this, have triggers or are uncomfortable in general around dogs. The Ashland Goodwill is a small store as it is and adding the multiple dogs further adds to the lack of space.

We wanted to let the public know that if you are attacked by a dog in a Goodwill, whether you're a customer or an employee, there's no recourse for you. The store is not liable. Dog attacks in public places, stores are not uncommon and the owner has only one option, to seek medical attention and pursue the dog's owner for financial liability. However, all too often the owner is nowhere to be found to pursue any legalities. The store is completely off the hook by Oregon law. Stay...

i really love this goodwill and i’ve found a lot of great things here, but today when i went in there were two people not wearing masks and when i brought that up to an employee they said they would do something about it which they did not. most of the recent times i have been in there has been at least one person with their mask pulled down completely and they have consistently done nothing about it. i hate to stop supporting a place that offers so many opportunities and resources for our community, however cases in jackson county are at an all time high and they are not doing a good job of protecting their customer or employees. please do not fire or write up anyone for

My spouse took a trip here tonight to pick up some last moment DIY Halloween costume stuff and encountered the employees here degrading a woman who just wanted to use a changing room. We understand as the public in Ashland that you have polices around when your changing rooms are open and closed but in no way did these employees have to tell her that they were closed in the most degrading rude way and her reply was that she just got here and she didn’t know and that’s when my spouse relayed to me again that they got on the intercom once more and again in the most degrading way said the dressing rooms were closed and then proceeded to laugh at this woman. She ended up using your restroom to try on her items and honestly good for her and...
