Goodwill — Local services in Houghton

I’ve been to a lot of crappy goodwill‘s, especially lately with the outrageous pricing at all the Goodwill‘s I’ve been to but this one takes the cake. I didn’t plan on going to buy a water bottle but you can be for damn sure that if I did, I wouldn’t be spending $30 on a used yeti that I could get for the same price at a hardware store Goodwill you need to humble yourself and realize what your mission is For people who can’t afford to buy things to be able to buy them. Also, there is the saddest half deflated three balloon and it didn’t even have a price tag but who the hell would buy that I guess it would be 10 bucks. Also the women’s bathroom door does notlock so I was peeing and hoping that nobody else would come in. Honestly it made me want to turn around and put the one thing in my cart that I was going to buy, and I did I left without anything in my hands. Shame on...

Everyone who complains about this store and its prices don’t realize that they have a set price they have to go off of. So saying corporate needs to step in is a waste of time because corporate 100% already knows. Also you can definitely blame the resellers for a higher price point, they have played a huge part in making sure the less fortunate cannot get items. It sucks to see so many hateful reviews on a store that is clearly trying its best to stay around for the public. The staff is most likely underpaid and has to deal with a lot of ungrateful people, so don’t be surprised if an employee doesn’t look too happy or happens to forget to say thank you. They deal with a lot of bs from the public. From my experience they are wonderful people and have feelings too. So next time you go there and aren’t happy about something don’t take it out on the staff, it’s not...

Idk what happened to this place, it used to be one of my favorite thrift spots. Not much inventory, the store has looked empty the past 6 months. They've been getting a bunch of cheap shoes from China to fill up their shoe racks because they don't have enough. Prices have doubled or troubled in the past couple years and some stuff is just outrageous. Some stuff is upwards of $50, $100, or $200. At a goodwill?! Where everything has been donated for FREE. Craziness. Giving 2 stars because once in a while you can find a gem that an employee knew nothing about and didn't markup. Corporate needs to step in... this store...
