Goodwill Industries of the Inland Northwest — Local services in Spokane

WOMEN BEWARE: I went to this location for the first time yesterday. I asked an associate if I could try things on in the dressing room, and she told me the middle one was open.

While I was trying on a few pieces in the dressing room - the door kept rattling like someone was trying to open the door. I ignore it (thinking it was just people checking to see if a door was unlocked). Next thing I know, one of the (other) associates female unlocked and opened the door, saying it was becuase a man wanted in there because left something in there (a jacket?) that he wanted.

Stunned (and scared), I'm just waiting for the associate to shut the door, but she keeps it open until I finally say "I'll be out in a minute??!" She left it ajar until I spoke, which was demeaning and violating to my privacy.

When I exit, the man is standing outside the door, and the associate that unlocked the door mid-change was casually minding her own business. I approach her and tell her to knock next time, because I could have been a kid or something. She didn't apologize, she just said "yeah, that would have been bad." I told her that that's not okay to open the door without checking first. She brushed me off.

I called Goodwill administrative offices, and no one has gotten back to me to apologize or ensure that this will not happen to anyone else.

So I can only imagine they'd rather I leave this review, make it public, and warn women against going here. I'll be sure to spread the word, and make it known how Goodwill violates women's safety.

GOODWILL - It is not okay to prioritize a man's UNPURCHASED jacket over women's safety. Ever. I'm so appalled, and all I wanted was an apology and corrective action to protect others. Your silence speaks volumes.

Sincerely, A violated and...

If you wanna surround yourself around people acting like crazy animals digging through bins HAVE AT IT!!! I preferably shop in store but only 20-25%. The reality is all thier more valuable real treasures are online for bidding ( I personally don't mind and they do have "1cents penny shipping on about 20% of thier items online). If you want more valuable treasures go online, but you're gonna haft to compete HARD against others. Ask any employee or better yet manager. NOPE...

They like too dig through all donations and keep all valuable stuff to post on their shop goodwill or goodwill finds for max profits , they barley rotate on time even with a brand new location and building they always say they don’t have enough textiles or wares to put out a full rotation a lot of the time , place seems very greedy just nothing like it used to be they only care about putting good products on their online resell store and not their retail store or the...
