We finally went to our local Goodwill today…and it totally sucked.
Maybe I’m spoiled by a big city Goodwill where everything was sorted by gender and size and hung on racks…but I can’t see me coming back to this one because I don’t have the patience or the time to sort through that much stuff…because clothes are only sorted by color. Color! So in order to find anything in your size, you have to paw through every single item. No thank you. At least they’re separated by gender. Still, no thank you.
And infant/baby stuff is just tossed in a bin which you have to dig through—and matching sets aren’t even together so you might find a PJ top but not the bottom (which some lady was dealing with as I walked by). No thank you.
Kid’s clothes? Same deal as adults—hung by color—but without the benefit (at least that I could see) of being sorted by gender (though, to be honest, I had lost all patience by that point and I just might not have looked closely enough). But again, nothing sorted by size—there was a 4 next to a 10. No thank you.
And the rest of the stuff looked like really really bad leftover garage sale crap. There was nothing I was even tempted by. And I’m in no way a snob about used clothes or stuff… So I was just really disappointed.
Our local Goodwill does that too. WTF? Yes, it makes a pretty pattern, but it takes an unreasonable amount of time to find anything that fits. Plus? Everything seemed totally overpriced. I won’t go back.
