Goodwill - Retail Store — Local services in Grand Island

Let me start off saying I love goodwill and this is a very nice location however I witnessed something very upsetting last night at this location. I was looking threw dresses about 10 feet away from me was a mother and her two children, normally when I see a child in goodwill they are either running around crazy or screaming their head off but not these two young children one was standing by his mother quietly and the other was at his mothers feet playing very very quietly and calmly with a toy from the store. Colleen a employee at this location angrily walked up to the young man playing with the toy and yelled at him are you going to buy this toy? She had repeated that question multiple times very loudly then proceeded to yell at him to go put it away...

First off a employee should NEVER yell at a child in that manner the appropriate response for that situation should have been Colleen speaking with the mother in a calm behavior not aggressively verbally attacking a young kid! This was the most unpleasant goodwill trip for me and I am a very active goodwill shopper I go at least 4 times a week! Unfortunately I will not visit this location because of Colleen’s very...

I was in the other day because I am out of work right now with a tight budget so I like to save on clothes at a place like Goodwill.

Real nice store. Good selection and I found 2 nice sweaters. I was looking for warm clothes and esp things ok to wear to job interviews. The two sweaters I found really work, I believe.

I was able to try them on and have worn them several times since

Very nice store and I may come again. If I don't then others should. Lady that was working was super helpful and nice too.
