Goodwill — Local services in Danville

One of the worst goodwill stores around! Rip's,tears, stains,feces marked clothing,the smells are impossible to get out . Have had to quit patronizing this particular branch for fear of bringing home bugs & disease. I highly recommend thinking twice before entering this goodwill store . Prices are higher than most retail outlets, employees are rude & are encouraged to beg for money in their so called round up gimmick,items on shelves are priced higher than some printed by retail stores. Goodwill was established to help out those of us who couldn't afford retail not to line the pockets of the executive millionaires! If it's all about goodwill why aren't they helping these families standing on the corners around Danville? Goodwill yrs ago was a nice place when you were in poverty now a person needs a substantial paycheck just to shop at their neighborhood goodwill high end department store where every item is given to them out of goodwill & picked through, separated & displayed by worth because greed prevents them from wanting anyone to get a good deal at their expense, so what if someone gets something cheaper & resells it for more ? They do this with every single item they sell, it appears that Greedwill would be more honest than hiding behind a fake nonprofit organization...

Well we did find some things we were happy about at good prices and was in line checking out. A young lady around 20 made she way between everyone and picked up a framed lighted vintage art piece. Well i see her come around a corner without the art. Being its a small store, I search the isles and when I come around the corner to the back store room she is coming out a door where employees go in and out. I asked at check out if that was allowed by employees he said he had no idea about it that he just came back from break. But I again asked so are employees allowed to shop and pick stuff up and take it to the back. Again he said I don’t know anything about that. But again I want to say I did find some deals. Check out was about 15 people long with 1 person checking everyone out until we got up to the counter, then our male checkout clerk started helping. She had called for help 2 times while we...

Every once in a while you can catch a good deal. For the most part items are over priced and you can often get them new for what they want or just a couple more bucks in most cases. Staff is fine. Goodwill has very low overhead costs but prices keep going up while all if the stuff that they sell is free and cost the company nothing. Google and see how much the upper management makes and the CEO's salary of this company is. I promise you will be stunned. To make matters worse they dont help anyone with anything at all. The goodwill just provides a few jobs in the community. They dont help people with electric bills, water, or heating. They want even donate the donated goods to people with nothing, that in itself is sad. The Salvation Army is also a joke to but at least some people get help from them...
