Walkersville - Goodwill Retail Store and Donation Center — Local services in Frederick

I'm halfway reluctant to post this rave review as not to reveal my this well-kept secret and hidden gem of a spot! But nontheless, it is well-deserved... so here goes. Sigh. I always have fun roaming around this Goodwill and rarely leave empty-handed. It's never too crowded, so for those like myself who like to dig deep for treasure, for that one perfect thing, and want to enjoy the hunt, this store is great. Friendly staff, clean, big, with a wide variety of everything. I frequent this spot since I live across the street, yet the inventory is constantly turning over: theres always something to look through. Vast selection of artwork and beautiful frames (look beyond what's in the frame!). The furniture section, however, leaves some to be desired. But at the same time, to each their own! You're sure to find whatever you want, need, or never even knew you needed! I have visited the newer Goodwill location in Frederick which pales in comparison to Walkersville, to say the least. Take it from an avid hunter... happy...

Staff seemed helpful and courteous, at least in terms of what to be expected at goodwill location. Mostly very distressed items on the floor, more so than the typical goodwill probably because when I picked up a nice vintage item to purchase I overheard one employee say to another when she saw it in my cart..."who put that item out here, we save all the good stuff for ourselves to take home and sell so we can make money" then she proceeded to pick up a few other items and take them off the floor and to the back room. Correct me if I am wrong but is it not the point of goodwill to sell the merchandise to support their programs, not let the employees take the items home to...

We took a truck full of items to drop off but the lady who came to unload was so nasty in saying that "we don't take all these things" and started picking through them. I understand they don't take everything but it's was her attitude and the way she did it. We had 4 more big boxes of good clothes but did not feel like coming back to bring it here.

Adding to my previous review... I understand that goodwill needs to make money and support employees and business....but these items are used and donated....I saw a simple dress today here same as I bought new from Walmart for $9 regular price and here...
