Goodwill Industries

Update, multiple people have said the cashiers here mysterious charge them extra. I’m pretty sure their scamming people or lining their own pockets some how.
Fucking awful, the only pro is its huge,
Grabbed one of those pre packed bag of Halloween shit here, lady refused to ring it up by the price in the bag, opened it up because it had a small hole and started trying to ring it up as every item separately, then we brought three more bags just like ours with the same crap with the same price as our (every pre packed bag had the same price) and suddenly they come back talking about how my bag, with a 99 cent price tag was the only one I had to pay like three dollars extra for. Then the damn cashier was to stupid to take off all the fucking extra charges for the shit inside and still charged me extra for the new price.
I’m sorry but it’s not fucking hard to work a cashier stand and scan price tags. If this woman couldn’t even fucking do that then I don’t know why the fuck she was allowed onto the sales floor.
I got overcharged by like five dollars over nothing

When checking out one of my items the cashier told me that the marked priced (which I thought was already too high) couldn’t be correct and left the register without telling me what was happening. I waited for a few minutes and even had to ask another employee where she went. When she came back the price was doubled. I chose to not get the item because I don’t think that was fair. I doubt I’ll be back to this location.

The staff here is friendly. It usually doesn’t take forever to get into dressing rooms, unlike most goodwill locations. The pricing on furniture and big items are fair, but often the clothing and other things are a bit more spendy than I personally like to see. The toys are usually pretty sparse compared to other locations. But everything is usually picked up and clean.

My son who goes to U of O shopped at this Goodwill when he was home for a weekend recently. While there he thought he found the deal of the century: a graphing calculator for $ 20. Anybody who knows what that is knows that they cost over $ 100 low end brand new. We took this great bargain home and put batteries in it. Of course, it did not work. I took it back a few days later and was only given store credit. I argued that Goodwill had committed fraud selling something they knew did not work and pretending that it did. I still just got store credit. Pretty low life for a charity. I don’t want to shop there ever again, so really, they just stole my money. There is a Salvation Army store in the mall across Halsey from this Goodwill. I recommend going there instead. Their prices are better, and I have never had any problems with blatant fraud.

Only reason I gave 2 stars is due to their «medioker» selection of items. Otherwise one star is stretching it. I am so blown away by the customer service at this location… or lack their of for that matter. 10 min to closing and 5 reminders already been announced… the lady working the dressing rooms with long dirty dishwater blonde hair is appearantly upset that people are actually dumb enoughto visit her location and chose to pay the prices that are inflated and alot of times more than the dept store it came from when brand new! Rude lady had a stare off with me after rudely telling me to quit shopping! Retail & customer service is the 2 worst career fields she stupidly chose to take. She must be disgruntled that Goodwill Industries chose Korky to announce «I have a very good job» on their local commercial. Sorry toots. Your a day late a buck short & a card short from a full overpriced deck!

High prices for a thrift store.

They pride themselves on helping people with disabilities, but the aisles and the layout of the store make it very hard to get around. The aisles are too narrow for a shopping cart to pass a wheelchair, and results in getting trapped in the back of the store at times, or making 10 people move tier carts so ya can get out.
Lots of good stuff to buy though! Seriously. They need to work on their ADA compliance!

I know that thrifting is kinda a big deal in this city, but I think this Goodwill has sort of forgotten the foundation of thrift store shopping: INEXPENSIVE stuff. If I have to sort through a ton of crap to find that one perfect item, I’m not about to spend $ 8 on it. Hell, I probably won’t even spend $ 4 on it … BECAUSE I’M AT A THRIFT STORE. I’ve definitely found better pricing at other Goodwill stores.

I’ve been going to Goodwill for years. Especially, after listening to Macklemore’s song «Thrift Shop, I’m going to this place more often. As you might already know, the content may varies between stores. This particular one is probably on the ‘Meh’ area. You’d probably find better stuff around rich people’s neighborhood like Happy Valley or somewhere in Beaverton. But who knows. You might find what you’re looking for. Like the Macklemore’s song said: «One man’s trash is another man’s come up».

When they moved the store it was fairly clean and organized. Now a few months later, the store is the same disorganized mess of overpriced cloths and broken nick-​nacks overflowing overstuffed shelves and rack that most other goodwills have become. The employees checking out never seem to be able to get the registers to work, and the lines back way up. Every time I have been in the new store the checkout lines were long. There are some OK deals here and there, but I will be sticking with pacs and deseret where the stores are clean, organized, and the prices are good.

The place is brand new-​so why does it seem like such a dump? I was there on Friday at 1pm and the place was packed. The aisle’s are so small hardly two carts can pass at once.
I found a Target style vase for $ 8.99? It was cheaper NEW at Target! Who comes up with these prices?
Worts, I bough a book and a bracelet and waited for 15 mins in line. Two cashiers. One I felt bad for as the customer was complaining really loudly about a .50 credit. The line I was in moved really slow. The cashier made sure to explain to me how to swipe my credit card. I told her twice, I know how to use the point of sale debit machine. she either deals with a million people who don’t know how to enter a pin, or she’s a control freak.
Either way, don’t come here! Good will is way overpriced.

When did thrift stores get so expensive? I picked up a vest for my two-​year-​old, although its $ 4.99 price was far from a deal. I saw a lot of Target housewares that were, seriously, cheaper at Target.
It’s yard sale season, so there’s seriously no reason to go back here until the rain falls again.

Really clean with lots of cheap, ecclectic household items– not really impressed by the clothing selection.
