PRICES!!!

This one changed overnight. The prices for some stuff is expensive. I have seen broken items being put on shelf and priced like new. I was talking to one of the employees and they said they wanted to work in the back pricing items because they didn’t like seeing people keep coming back and buying more items cheap. They acted like the customers were taking from them.

The funny thing is then they moved to the back where they price and items went up in price. The thing they don’t understand is that 90% OF THEIR ITEMS ARE DONATED. AND IF YOU DON’T KNOW WHAT DONATED IS , IT MEANS FREE.

I also asked one day about an item not having a price and the employee gave me a rude remark of, I’m busy and you need to take it out front and ask them, we don’t do that out here on floor. Funny thing is a few days later she was putting stuff up and a few people asked her about prices and she went each time to see about price.

How can you be so busy that you can pick and choose who you want to help? You work at GOODWILL, it’s not that hard of a job.

But I will say some of the employees are nice and they have nothing to do except try to make your experience and their day go well. A friendly hello goes a long way.

The one thing some of the GOODWILL employees have to understand is that they are suppose to help the community, not hinder it. And also that they don’t get paid more if they price items higher. They are supposedly a non profit, but the president of company makes...

I don't understand reviews of these thrift stores from people that say the customer service is bad. I honestly like being left alone to shop. I get an occasional how are you? What is the type of thing you are looking for? Which is ok. I am a reseller and this particular Goodwill always has Starbucks mugs for 6-7 dollars a piece and the other mugs 50 cents to a dollar a piece. That is absurd. I have found some cool vintage toys though, and things surprisingly in their original packaging.

The clothes are a bit too high, and the jeans prices seem to have increased. I bought a pair of wranglers jeans there the other day for 7 dollars for myself. Oh well, I have read horror stories about managers at other Goodwills that are really bad so I appreciate the quality of this one. You just have to go often, it's really a hit or a miss. I either clean up, or leave with nothing.

Edited to update, they do refunds on electronics but not on furniture. Seems fair enough.

I actually love this Goodwill and appreciate the quality of the items I find there very much. You just have to be willing to dig like at a yard sale or any...

Good will in Hermiston Oregon is a joke you can go to a store and pay less for an item certain items then you can at Goodwill now what happened to Goodwill being you know like a Salvation Army Salvation Army is good they don't try to over price things at Goodwill in Hermiston Oregon is a joke whoever's running that place mustache keep a lot of the things that are dropped off there because I'm dropped off the items and kind of had somebody in there just to see if those items got out on the shelves but know whoever is managing that store right now is a rip-off you know I mean everything that Goodwill gets is donated to them it's brought to them they don't have to do nothing but sell the stuff you know and they don't even do that they keep a lot of the stuff that's dropped off there which somebody needs to bring that too the CEOs attention I don't know who the manager is but I'm going to find out and I think whoever it is might be looking for another job that even talked to a couple people that have work there and said that they I know for a fact that that's what's going on there so anyway Goodwill in Hermiston...
