Goodwill Clearance Center — Local services in Town of Henrietta

If you like to thrift shop for good deals, you'll find them here. This is where all the local Goodwill locations send their merchandise that doesn't sell or has been sitting around too long (usually after their dollar day color tag sales on Sundays). Additionally, a lot of unsorted donations will go straight here as well when the stores are overloaded. Items here are sold by the pound and it's a different experience than your typical Goodwill. Surprisingly, not everything is total garbage. I've scored quite a few really nice household items, electronics and kids toys that were practically new. It's not unusual to walk out of there with a bag or three full of treasures for literally a couple dollars. Wares (basically everything that doesn't fit into any other category) are the cheapest at 39 cents per pound. Clothes are a little more per pound. All DVDs and video games are basically $1 each. Children's books are .25, paperbacks are .50 and hardcovers $1. They swap out two rows of 6 huge table-sized bins every hour or so, and it can get crazy - especially in the afternoons when people are there full force. Staff is usually friendly, but they tend to get frustrated at times and it depends on the day. There are regulars that are here daily looking for deals. Most are nice and helpful, others are very loud and aggressive - especially when the new bins get rolled out. For a better experience, try to avoid the peak busy times (afternoons, weekends). Also, stay away from the sheer madness when the row of new bins are rolled out. The cut off times for bin rotations on weekdays is usually around 3-4pm. On weekends it is 2pm. So if you want to get access to a switchover, you should get there an hour or two before these cut off times. Negatives are that the place in general is a little dirty and messy at times. I also think the staff could do a better job of kicking out people that regularly ruin the experience for others by being aggressive and careless with their rummaging to the point it destroys and/or separates merchandise. Watch your fingers when digging or wear decent gloves - there is usually broken glass in some of the bins because of that. Additionally, I don't understand why they include big easily breakable things like TVs, printers, computers, monitors, stereos in the bins where they easily get ruined. The newer place on Jefferson Ave is bigger and they have the space now to just lay out all the bigger electronics up along a wall, or on the floor, or build shelves to hold them. I'm sure any of these options would better protect them from getting tossed around in the bins and ruined, which would ultimately move more merchandise and get them more sales. Go figure. All in all, a really good place to visit if you want some great deals. Read the rules when you go in, practice patience with people around you that may bubble invade your space, listen to the announcements from staff, and...

Inexpensive clothing, household items, electronics and furniture. Competition among buyers is fierce. There are two sets of rules here. 1. The rules established by the regular buyers and re-enforced somewhat consistently. 2. The rules established by the store which are sometimes irrational, change almost hourly and are rarely if ever reinforced. The price structure is 99% done by the pound and commodity, with some items (normally furniture priced individually). Pricing will fluctuate between cashiers depending upon your relationship with them. There are items worth hundreds of dollars here selling for a buck. Buyers are competing to find those things and chances are good you are going to observe aggressive and passive aggressive behavior. Bins are changed hourly and a mad dash from one side of the store to the other occurs when the ok is given to go. A sea of carts and people will flood the aisles making it difficult to find any space to look at the new items and or move to someplace new. People will block space with their carts, steal from your cart, bump into you, reach across you, throw items in front of you. It's mayhem for about 5 minutes, at which people are convinced they have exhausted their best chance at getting something of value. After that it slows down into normalcy. You will see people beginning to line up for the next bin change 30 minutes before it occurs so as to assure first dibs on the next good stuff that may arrive. I recommend watching this process once or twice before you decide how you are going to navigate it so as to meet your needs. My recommendation is that if you have questions, you ask another buyer at the front of a line any questions you might have. Most are quite friendly during this time of waiting. Do not try to make sense of any rules put on you by the store, it's a waste of time. Do not try to understand why the enforcement of these rules is almost non existent. Do not be offended when they talk to you like you are a child. Get your stuff and get...

The cashier with glasses and a long beard (pretty sure his name is Travis) is a huge creep weirdo!

I was shopping with a group of my girl friends this Tuesday. Maybe7 of us. We spent close to two hours in the store and had a blast digging.

When we got to check out a tall white guy with a long beard and glasses was at checkout. He kept trying to make small talk with my friend n I. But we were just trying to check out and go get food after so we weren’t super down to chat. But he made a comment that felt weird and even a lil sinister. He told my friend that he “loves his job because all the hot girls have to give him their number at checkout” which honestly startled me

After our group was done checking out I asked everyone if they had had experiences with him being creepy before. To which every single person said “yes” One of my friends even told me how they feel like he missgenders them on purpose. Making an extra point to call them “he” wherever they check out with him. This friend is very femme presenting.

In short I love the bins even with the closed bathrooms and messy parking lot

But this person sounds like he need a serious talking to and/or maybe even moved into the back of...
