Goodwill Gulf Coast - Fairhope Store/Donations — Local services in Fairhope

DONT DONATE OR SHOP HERE: personally turned down a management position with this company in a different state and don't hesitate to share their corporate mentality. 1st things first - they do NOT pay the homeless staff members. 2nd, I was told to save the laborous and worst jobs for them. Since it is free labor, take advantage of it. In return of their 2 weeks they can put that they held a job for 2 weeks on a job application somewhere!!

They have no control over that at the local level so I won't even mention that, but if you know, you know. I will say though that this is probably the best priced store...

I went into this store on a Sunday looking for clothes to wear to church. I bought four dresses and four skirts and my total was almost $50. That is simply outrageous!! I consider that stealing. This is supposed to be a mission store??? This is supposed to be a store that is supposed to help and do God's work? but literally every item in that store was on sale except for dresses and skirts which is what a Godly woman like myself prefers to wear in God's house. this will be the last time I will ever shop in that store there . There plenty of other stores that actually don't gouge you on used clothes. y'all have a...
