Goodwill Industries of the Columbia Willamette — Attraction in Lincoln City

The cashier we were helped by was very unfriendly. While we were looking at the candy by the registers, she yelled "I'm open on register one!" We weren't even at the 'next in line' spot. She kept yelling, even though we were clearly browsing with our backs to the register. We looked over to acknowledge we'd heard, but she kept yelling it. When we started walking over, she looked very annoyed.

While we were at rge register, she did an announcement saying "last call for dressing rooms" and an elderly lady walked up to say she wanted to try a shirt on. It had been less than 15 seconds since the announcement and the cashier told the lady "the dressing rooms are closed. That's why we make a last call announcement." The elderly lady said she thought the store was open until 8pm and the cashier very snottily told her "the store is open until 8pm, the dressing rooms close at 6pm." It was 6:08pm, so why would they be doing a last call for the dressing rooms after they're closed? You'd think they'd do the last call 5 minutes prior to closing the dressing rooms, not after they're closed. And why be so rude to someone about it? Good grief.

After she finished ringing up our items, she left them on the far side of the counter, so we had to reach under and around the glass to pick them up. She did not even try to slide the items over to our side of the glass. This cashier was very rude and didn't seem to care that they were being so rude and unfriendly. In case management is reading this, the cashier's name starts with an E and...

I am trying to furnish a home on a budget. I purchased two chairs the day before and had them put on hold for next day pick-up; when I got there to pick up the chairs I saw a stand in the drop-off area that I really liked, so I asked if it was available to be purchased. The talk, thin gentleman in charge of pricing told me he could price it and put it on the floor for me to purchase if another person did not first, so I did.

While loading the stand, a nightstand was dropped off and I asked if it was going to be available for purchase the same day. The gentleman said yes. While I went inside the store to purchase said nightstand, the mans associate decided to inform my companion that I had purchased "too many nice things already" and no one else was getting them so he would not be putting the item on the floor; he claimed the floor was full but that was false as a couch, a coffee table, and the stand I had previously purchased had all been removed. Why does it matter if I or someone else is purchasing the items?

Extremely rude behavior from said employee; I will not bother wasting my time with this store anymore and I will not be recommending to any of my friends. The restore right down the road has good items, good prices, and the people there are much...

Active transportation friendly! Bike parking out front (bolted down wave racks) & my shopping backpack was not an issue for anyone. The staff out stocking shelves were friendly with anyone who wanted to chat. This store only uses paper bags, so big points for being environmentally conscious, especially considering this is a beach town. I read that whales in particular consume & get sick from plastic shopping bags, because in the ocean the billowing bags resemble squid, their food. I'm so thankful for all coastal retailers doing their part to protect wildlife! Not using single-use plastic bags has of course also been the law in Oregon since 2020, but as we know, there are certain large stores that aren't obeying that law. I guess they think they're special! The city can fine retailers for using plastic bags less than 4 mil though, in fact the city's supposed to enforce the Sustainable Shopping law.

Anyway! I went in today specifically looking for a silver/metal container to put marbles in, to represent items off my to-do list (I need a little motivation lol). Mission accomplished, & I also found a random pack of dominoes that I decided to use instead of marbles. The floor plan is now opened up a bit, with some shelves removed from near the DVDs &...
