I don’t come here often but over the years of visiting them, I’ve learned a few things. 1. Can’t beat the thrift by the pound price. From mall brands to occasional score of higher valued items to the lucky vintage/trendy stuff..depends on the day. 2. You can get a cart but you gotta come early, most of the carts will be hogged by daily shoppers (yes the ladies with the sacks). But hey it’s New York, we are all just hustling. Everyone gets to play here. 3. The employees can be a little over the top at times with the yelling and scolding, but they don’t typically mean any harm. They are dealing with America’s rejects all day - and we have tonnes of them! Still a little mutual respect is highly desired in any setting. Treat an adult like an adult, it goes a long way. There is at times no need to ruin a shopper’s mood or day by making a scene of them. Just approach them and say ‘hey, we can’t have this push cart on the aisle, it blocks mobility. Feel free to park it by the side.’ As opposed to ‘HEYYYYY, STOP. You can’t bring that there. It’s not allowed. Move it RIGHT NOW.’ It’s just unnerving for anyone to have that kind of privilege of nasty speech these days. 4. I can never find the other shoe! Why is it that only the good shoes are missing their significant other?! Maybe they could clear out the bins with the older shoe inventory more often. There’s 3-4 shoe bins that are kept just to throw the new rejects on top of. You end up having to dig constantly in those, perhaps creating even more non pairs in the process. Not an efficient way to make merchandise move. 5. The wait for new bins can take a long while at times and you end up waiting and being scolded at that often. Again the ‘not allowed’ lingo that the employees use often could be reviewed. You feel like cattle being herded. No one in todays day and age wants to be spoken to that way. 6. I’ve never stayed open to close before but safe to say they roll out new bins about 6+ times per day. 7. I do notice that the new bins get hauled away quite fast sometimes. Since the daily shopping ladies amass loads of items first and then sort on the sides, they will put back what they don’t want after a while and you can go sort then, but often the staff is out already to get the bins back inside. A little bit of missed opportunity shopping, I would say. Overall, it’s a great place to find bargain deals and the employees are trying their best and just learning from each other. So their way to handle their business and how they treat their paying customers is coming from somewhere. I will say that there are more respectful shoppers than any boisterous problematic ones, and it will be nice to see more nicer treatment in future. We are all NYC residents. We get it. It’s rough out here, but it’s also amazing!

Questions & Answers

How are they going to organize after our quarantine is over? They need to start restricting some of the aggressive shoppers from loitering in the store for hours. They have to restrict certain people from taking all the shopping carts as well.

Marlene Cruz | Oct 13, 2020
Phyllis T. | Oct 13, 2021

They do not have a time limit of how long you can stay in the store. Slot of women stay the whole day.

When is the stampede of old ladies NOT there?

Taylor Petty | Oct 14, 2019
Stephanie Thorn | Oct 14, 2019

No old ladies, other groups of people who have fives carts betweenl them rush grab everything they can sort tgrough it after. Not fair for everyone else.sunday mornings are good. Every two hours they bring out new buns full. Items are priced by the pound. Housewares are great 39 cents a pound includes lamps, wall hangings, picture frames, toys, dishes, pots and pans. You can find a lot of new items. Its great. Get a rewards card, you get points on everything you by for credit on your next trip.

Free Parking can be difficult most days at peak times. There is a paid parking garage around the block but usually I can find street parking about a block or two away. Sometimes you'll see people parking on the sidewalk. Smh. I don't recommend that. It is usually easier finding parking around 5pm but then they close soon afterward

Goodwill NYNJ Outlet Store & Donation Center | Oct 13, 2020

Goodwill does not have owners. We are a nonprofit organization. Merchandise coming to the outlet store and sold by the pound was first offered in our regular stores and sold by the piece, but there are still many quality items to be found. Grace, sorry to hear you feel that way. I will pass on your complaint.
