Goodwill Store and Donation Center — Local services in Yadkinville

I tried shopping at this Goodwill yesterday (as I've been doing for years) with my son to buy some needed clothing for him. We aren't sick and haven't been around anyone with Covid, so we didn't see any reason to wear a mask. We went in and were looking at shirts for my son when one of the men working there approached us and demanded that we put masks on. I politely told him, "No, thank you. We aren't sick, but we will stay 6 feet away from the other customers." That was when the lady behind the register shouted out at my son and I (in front of a whole line of other customers), "You either put on a mask or take your business elsewhere. That's our policy!" (Side note- I've NEVER been told anything about wearing a mask at the Goodwill in Winston that I frequent!) I guess I'll be taking my business elsewhere from now on. There was an elderly woman leaving the store when I did (who was wearing a mask herself) who said to me as we were exiting, "That's the last time I shop here!" So, we left and decided to visit a small Thrift store that recently opened up on Main St. We walked in, unmasked, and were warmly welcomed. She gladly took the donations I had in the back of my van and my son and I both found some things to buy. We'll be patronizing small thrift stores from now on! I guess not everyone is welcome to shop at...

This use to be one of my favorite stores but it seems most of the goodwills I’m this area have gone way downhill. I had to wait more than 10min and ring the bell 6 to 8 times to get a dressing room open. I was in a hurry and did not have much time anyway. Then the lady finally opens it and has a fit because I have more than allowed by 1 piece. I was so ticked off st that point that I just threw everything in the buggy and left with nothing. In ky where I go often all dressing rooms are left open and there is no limit so it’s just a NC thing. I think goodwill has lost a good client because the sales people are now dressing room nitzis!! If I’m going to be treated like a second class citizen I will...

I frequent this location often finding quality clothing and some items are brand new with original tags. It's nice to walk into a Goodwill that takes pride in their store and the items they sale. The staff are always friendly and willing to help me even though I can tell they have been stressed lately. I've seen the same at other businesses since covid due to being short staffed. I don't believe some of the negative reviewers understand the pressure that goes along with those circumstances but the employees here are doing a great job. Thank you Yadkinville Goodwill!! Hang in there and keep up the...
