Goodwill Industries of Eastern NC Inc. - Southern Shores — Attraction in Southern Shores

Not sure what has happened here but, I used to adore this store. Somehow they are pricing items and clothing as if it were new and not donated. I fully understand making a profit but when you see beat up pots and pans for $15.99 and plastic pitchers for $7.99 that you could buy for less at Tjmaxx brand new! Store is well organized though. All the old staff is now somehow gone? Sure do miss them. **Probably the worst part of this store is they stopped using bags?! Are you kidding me? You have to hand carry clothes and items out. It is beyond akward. I've been to Goodwill stores all over the country and never once been to a store that doesn't offer a bag to put your purchases in. Very weird as they can surely afford them with their prices. Every single store in the surrounding area bags your items.(Other thrift stores, Walmart, Target, grocery stores, etc.) Not sure who came up with this brilliant idea but it's crazy. *They aren't saving the environment, Lol! I used to shop here often but now prefer the local Hotline Thrift stores instead as they have the decency to offer bags as well as more realistic pricing on used/...

I used to take all my stuff, ' and yes..nice stuff to this store, I take to the hot lines now.. at least ,even if there prices are high, and I can't afford that always , but it's going back into the community, to help woman and children. Here" So that's my review, sorry, but if prices were same as your sister stores I may not be so animate.. but hey ,summers coming and you'll get the money.. so if locals can't afford all the time, it's ok, it's all about getting all the money you...

The employee working just now yelled at my teenage kids for being “too loud” I was right by them , all they were doing was having fun not yelling, not disturbing any other customers. I didn’t correct her , but then she yelled at them for being on the wrong side of the Jewlery counter while looking at Jewlery. She corrected them and then proceed to tell me I needed to “parent my kids” and “you can’t go behind the counter at Walmart” I kindly told her asking them to move to the other side was enough but any comments after that weren’t productive. Again not harming or being disrespectful to the business, just shopping . I’m completely shocked at her tone and the fact she argued with me, we abruptly left because she was...
