About

Thrift Store
The vision of our 501(c3) nonprofit organization is that ALL people have the opportunity to reach their fullest potential through the power of work.Goodwill Industries of Middle Tennessee is based in Nashville, Tenn. The agency serves 48 counties throughout Middle and West Tennessee, operating 30 retail stores and two outlet stores, about 53 Donation Express Centers and 13 Career Solutions Centers. The nonprofit is one of Tennessee’s largest employers of people with disabilities with more than 45 percent of our workforce reporting some type of disability or disadvantage. Although affiliated with Goodwill Industries International in Rockville, Md., we operate independently through our own governing board of directors. Goodwill accepts gently-used items that donors no longer want, need or use. Those items are sold either in our retail stores or online at onlinegoodwill.com. Revenue from the sale of donated goods helps fund job training services and programs provided by Goodwill Career Solutions. In addition to retail sales, Goodwill depends on several other revenue sources, including state and local grants.

    I have been shopping at the Springfield Goodwill for years, but today was by far the worst shopping experiences I have ever had. The cashier was older, gray haired, and taller and was absolutely the rudest person I've met ***(I went back and looked at my receipt and the cashier's name was Linn B)***. She questioned every tag that I had regardless of color. She tried to peel every tag off with her nails. She told me it wasn't possible for me to have some items because the price tags are recycled every 4 weeks. I had something that was dirty that the tag fell off because it was so dirty it wouldn't stick; she told me that it wasn't possibly the right tag. If she couldn't get a tag to scan, she said I was trying to rip off Goodwill. For instance, an ottoman bar code wouldn't scan, but the tag had the same price handwritten on the other half. When a tennis racket tag wouldn't scan, I went and got one on the shelf with the same price! Shopper beware...never had someone be so rude!
