Goodwill Store and Donation Center

Kendra Lynne

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 Goodwill anymore.

If it was clean they mark it why high. If you want dirty nasty items you can buy it at regular price. Goodwill lost they minds.

Smaller Goodwill store in a smaller shopping center instead of being a stand alone store. Easy access from both US 421 and US 601.

The Q Continuum

This Goodwill has gone down hill dramatically. Used to have a large variety of unique items. Now the store is just old clothes. Very little in appliances and housewares electronics is practically non existent, minus a few chargers. I check back from time to time to see if anything has improved but continue to be disappointed. Staff is friendly enough, just nothing worth buying anymore. 2 stars!
