Chaos is a great word for this place as seen in other reviews. Everything thrown in giant bins. Nothing hanging. Talk about zero effort, that is this store. Walked a little ways in and left.

Well I thought shopping at one Goodwill Buy The Pound was a chaotic experience, then I hadn't seen until now how ruthless it could get at this one. It really feels like a dog eat dog world when trying to shop here. There's so many bins so at least there's the chance that you could find a few things in a couple rounds. However that doesn't erase the fact that it can get hectic when people want to be. I've even came in once where all of the shopping carts were used up, so I had to wait and so had others. There also seems to be this ritual that happens where bins are swapped out for other bins. The shoppers would crowd around in a circle in wait before the new bins come in and when that's done, they immediately pounce on them like rats to bread crumbs. It's almost animalistic if you ask me, on a ridiculous scale. I've tried partaking in this once and I felt disgusted for doing it that I won't ever do it again. It's just madness. I would avoid that if you can and just stick to what you can find at this store. I can't say I haven't gotten anything because I have, it's just the shopping experience is either here or there.

Questions & Answers

Why did Goodwill put an app out. I thought they were supposed to be for charity and now their supplies are becoming Limited because they have an app. Sounds like the owner is in the money not helping people.

Goodwill helps people by raising money. If an app helps them raise money, I don't see how it is an issue.
