Goodwill of Silicon Valley — Local services in San Jose

The cashier there was very rude. I left my glasses in one of the fitting rooms as they were locking them up so I asked if they could quickly unlock it for me. When the woman unlocked it for me, she saw all the hangers on the floor and asked if I had left them there. When I told her no, she said “yea right, you were the last one in there, THANKS” in the rudest manner. Through the whole encounter, I could tell she had something against me even behind the register. She had been nice to other customers while I was waiting so I thought there would be no issue but maybe she just doesn’t like Asians since I had done nothing to her. This behavior shocked me as they were in there from the previous guests and I had only brought 4 items in and left nothing behind. My friend remembers her from another goodwill since we shop there a lot and said she has been rude to many other people too. Maybe that’s why they transferred her to another location. If you hate your job that much, quit. No need to rub your misery on...

I dropped off my donations @ the location near the Cottle VTA station and the attendant was rude and acted like I was inconveniencing him!

I said good morning to him and he ignored me. So I placed my donations in the trailer and waited patiently for my receipt. It was obvious he wasn't going to give me a receipt. So I asked for it, he gave it to me and didn't acknowledge me or look at me. Like I mentioned, he acted like I was bothering him.

I took the time out of my busy schedule to gather these bags of clothes to donate to the less fortunate, especially for the veterans, since I served in the US military too.

Only to be treated this way by a employee who obviously doesn't appreciate the fact he has a job.

I'll never donate again at this location, even though it's on the way to work. I'll drive out of my way to continue to help...

This Goodwill is one of the Bay Area's largest and nicely stocked. It's clean, organized, has a variety of items (not just your Target close- outs or past seasons) but items that have a bit more Personality and Posh!!! Be careful to watch for pricing accuracy- if an item is priced higher than what it would typically sell for on retail clearance- than speak up!

Remember... It's up to us thrifters to make things right- say something when a thrift store is pricing items too high they get for FREE or .lbs on the $. This is not right! Know your pricing, brand, designers and your local retail market and you will have a great time thrifting!
