Yakima Goodwill — Attraction in Yakima

Minutes ago, around 5 p.m., January 9, 2025, I found 2 very used dog harnesses, same brand, with different prices. I told the nearest store employee I wanted to buy them for a stray dog we were rescuing, didn't know which would fit her, and asked him to please fix the price. He took them both from me, told me people change the price tags all the time, said the one lower price tag had been clearly moved from a different item. He walked off with the harnesses, put the higher priced harness back on the shelf, and took the lower priced one into the back room, presumably to raise its price -- from $5 to $7. Yes, he did that for $2. I had not changed the tag, and the tag showed absolutely no sign it had been moved from a different item. Always, in the past, Goodwill employees have been reasonable when there are two items with different prices, and I want to buy both. This guy chose to be a jerk. May a stray dog recognize the resemblance between this jerk's physique and the shape of a fire hydrant, and mark him appropriately. Edit: I went back a few hours later, because we very much needed a harness for the stray dog we're rescuing. On the shelves I found numerous brand new harnesses that were one-half the price of the used harness the jerk took from me to mark up the price. No one had messed with their price...

I haven't been to goodwill for so long I had forgotten how much I love looking and digging for that wonderful special gift and what makes it even better is when you look at the price tag and at first your thinking i really want this but I refuse to pay that much and when you go to put it back and you notice just in the nick of time that it's on sale for 99 cents and you break out into your happy dance! I go through through the entire store and I see something I like I put it into my cart then when I get up to the check stand I see if I can get them to come down on the price and boy did I get lucky this evening the lady was great she came down 10 $ on a expensive comforter then she just started going through my cart and she started giving me stuff it was great I ended up paying $40 for everything. If I would have played the right price for all of it I would have costed me over $100 I even got a complete set of star wars sheets and me and the great lady that was helping me agreed that thay were old school and she gave all of it to me for $3 I know that they are going to make a special someone very happy when they open them up at Xmas. Anyway that's my experience at...

This store is like none other I've been to, and I go to a lot of them. On a trip to Yakima from Portland, I decided to make stop and see if I could find any goodies. Walking up to the store I noticed the signage was different than every other Goodwill I've ever been in. Then I see some furniture outside, and see it has different price tags on it. Once I walked inside, I was shocked that it looked more like a liquidation store than a thrift store. The clothing was all priced like a retail store with prices on top of the racks "Cargo shorts $11.99" and lots of new closeout type merchandise. The whole store was priced different. I buy mason jars for canning at Goodwill's all over for .29 all day. That's the company mason jar policy. 29 cents, sold as is, no returns. Here they had a whole rack full, but the pints were .49 and quarts .69 each, no lids/rings. It just seemed odd to me. I didn't buy anything, and will be skipping that store when I'm in...
