- RMRobert MalaterraNov 18, 20251.0Overpriced, go to habitat for humanity instead.
- DSDanielle SparksOct 9, 20251.0Thanks to store manager Carla, I will not return to this Goodwill. My 2 children and I were quietly walking around the store shopping, as we frequently do. We were in an isle together when my 2 kids walked around the front of the isle. Carla immediately and very rudely said to my kids, ages 5 and 3 for the record’ “Where’s your parents?? Go find them now”. Mind you I was right behind them. After stating I was right there with them, Carla never offered an apology or anything. I refuse to support a business that treats my kids like they’re bad kids when they’re not. Pushed my cart back up to the front and left without buying anything I had shopped for. Will NOT return.
