| - I used to like this store before they started over pricing their clothing items. More and more clothing are being coded as "Better Quality" and being priced at ridiculous high prices. It used to be that you could find a great brand at their normal price, but it appears someone there is monitoring ebay and charging the highest dollar amount they think we can bare. Good Grief Goodwill, you're supposed to be a non-profit, not a high end boutique. The fun of finding a treasure in your store is long gone. The jeans that are normal price are mostly junk (stink, badly frayed hems, worn butts, missing buttons, stained, etc. etc.). You price your fake designer jeans as though they are the real deal. Does no one know what they are doing there?
I had an incident in which I went to the store and OMG!!! I found a pair of jeans that didn't have a code on them, but the price tag wasn't there either. I find lots of clothes without tags and don't think too much about it. I know jeans are $7.99, polo shirts are $4.99, and so on. When I went to check out, the cashier called the manager over (Tammy) to do "whatever". The manager then took the jeans, grinned, and did a slow run to the back of the store. I waited at the register for maybe 5-6 minutes wondering what the heck was going on and getting a little peeved for being made to wait. When she finally came back, she gave the jeans to the cashier and left quickly. She had a price tag put on them for $19.99 and placed a code inside the waistband in permanent marker, marking them as "Better Quality". At this point, I was angry. I told that cashier to get that manager back which she did. I told Tammy that code wasn't in those jeans before she took them away and that if they were put out on the floor without a code the first time, they shouldn't be able to just change their minds and jack the price up at their convenience. She admitted to me that they did just place a code in them and she became very wishy washy not liking the confrontation and anxious to get away, and I just decided to go and leave the jeans behind. My treasure became no more. Before I left, I told her I would be contacting the Regional Office about what she just did. I did contact them telling them what happened and was hoping for a "we will have a talk with her....or anything". What I got was a patronizing canned response. I did respond to that, but they never got back to me after that. Great job Regional Office.
So all in all, I am not especially happy with this store and definitely not the manager.
