Goodwill Store and Donation Center — Local services in Winston-Salem

This is very annoying...evidently, Goodwill has a copy of my book and is selling it for 4 TIMES their normal book price AS WELL AS selling it for a few cents more than what I'm selling it for. Why does this upset me?

1. If someone gave this to Goodwill, most likely it was a SIGNED COPY. Those don't grow on trees. I am the author and publisher in this case, and I still have to pay for my own prints to resell.

2. I used to work for Goodwill. They are a very two-faced organization as me and several of their FORMER workers had learned. I enjoyed the work, however I had issues with a manager and although they would 'allow' me to talk to them about said issues, they neglected to give me my old job back.

3. Goodwill said I was able to work for them after a few months to a few years or so had passed, so when I had N O T H I N G and looked into it again, I had learned that evidently, they had BLACKLISTED me from working at any Goodwill again, and didn't bother saying anything. THAT WAS 5 YEARS AFTER I HAD WORKED THERE BEFORE.

4. So all this, and now they're selling MY NOVEL for MORE MONEY than what I'm selling this for? Also, I called the location connected to this account TWICE and they...

This Goodwill is the biggest , best, and most organized but suffers from a major problem. This Winston Salem has a BULLY problem that needs to be immediately addressed. I don’t know if management is afraid of these culprits or what. Today I witnessed a man whom is there EVERY SINGLE DAY, and feels he rules the place threaten to assault an 80 year old woman for standing in front of him. Was he removed ??- NO. That is inexcusable behavior. It makes people extremely uncomfortable to be around and the fact that he wasn’t removed shows management doesn’t care about the customers safety. The other bully is a young adult named “Cooper” they are younger and again, think they rule the place with their bad behavior unchecked. He picks fights with everyone, again making them feel uncomfortable and that management lets unsafe threats of violence and cursing and overall bad behavior go unchecked, this is not right. This is going to end badly. These Bullies are unavoidable because they are ALWAYS at the goodwill bins 7 days a week open to close . The management knows the problem and does NOTHING . This is going to end extremely badly if nothing goes undone. ...

Disappointed. Huge store, but awfully difficult to find clothing even though there are tons of it. I'm used to Goodwill stores that have all clothing items arranged by size, type and color. In this store, jeans, sweatpants, capris, all types and colors of pants are together. I was looking for my size and got through one aisle before giving up. They do have size hangers to direct shoppers but teeny girl, plus size and every other size was on the "large" racks. Same with shirts, sweaters and jackets--all hung together. I did find a couple of nice sweaters and I'm sure I could have found others to buy but I just didn't want to dig that hard. I found a really nice picture frame but was disappointed in the selection of housewares. It's rare that I don't find SOMETHING to buy, but this time I didn't. I didn't look at the textiles. Maybe another trip to check them out. If anyone from Goodwill is listening, if you would arrange the items a little better, I bet your sales would increase greatly. I know I would buy more if I didn't get so exhausted filing through things I have no interest in. The girl who checked me out was lovely--very friendly...
