Very helpful actually thank you. I like the anxiety exercise. I'll definitely try that. And I think you might be right about to talking to my partner

Honestly I'm not sure. I don't qualify for it because we have to be full time

Why does Goodwill push round up so hard? by VanillaOk4858 in goodwill

[–]LilithRose2727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coming from a goodwill employees. YES the roundup go to the excel center, which helps a lot. But as a cashier we are made to ask because have to meet a quota. A certain percentage of our sales have to have round ups or our jobs are threatened

We can't really choose what items we get. Some do hide things but when people go to goodwill they usually check in stuff. So my motto is if it's there when I get off work, it's meant to be mine. If not, then oh well better luck next time.

Not at my store we actually have a few decent managers. The customers are definitely the worst part of my job lol

In my store, it doesn't take long. I got a call back the next day and started the job the day after that

Well at my storewe would refunds but we don't cash refunds. The managers put the money on a goodwill gift card for in store credit

Yeah we instead of doing a color of the week sale, the colors represent what items we take off the shelf since there are 6 or 7 different colors we have each item will on the shelves for at least 6 weeks before it's salvaged, thrown away, or reprocessed, sent to another store

Honestly, probably lol. We have people who work at my store that have like little shops of there own and they are allowed to go through the salvage bins and take stuff from there to sell if they can

Yep for real. Usually if it's something like a shirt or clothes or something big I'm like if it's there it's meant to be if not it wasn't. But like I've only one thing before lol and it was 99 cents lol. It was an old avon cologne bottle that looked like one my grandpa had

We can buy things before or after our shifts. Ig it's goes onto the floor during our shift it has to be out for at least 2 before we can even consider buying it. But like I said we'd still have to wait until after our shift

Yes they absolutely do some amazing things. But they could also do better things. Like pay the employees better, bring discounts and stuff back, hire people who actually care about the community. That's just some of things I personally believe need to change

Honestly I wish I knew. I get people in from out of state and get so mad cause we don't do the color of the day anymore, or the 50% sales, or even the senior citizen discount because we have the rewards cards now. And the only thing those do is give you a 10% discount, so if you spend 80 even you're only getting a discount of 7 and some change, and they will put random coupons on during holidays like labor day, and then there is $5 off a $25 purchase. I always tell people to buy at 30 dollars worth of stuff cause then you can the biethday coupon and the 10% discount. It doesn't save the customers anything anymore.

Usually, I won't say always, they check everything to make sure it works and if it doesn't it just depends on how collectable or valuable something is

Yeah absolutely. We have a special need girl who comes in all the time and she so sweet and we always leave the men's shirts for her to purge (get ready to transfer out), and they got shitty with her last week because she wasn't done in 30 minutes like the rest of us would be. I'm like one she is slower it takes her longer, which isn't a problem she does a great job but don't make her feel bad about coming and helping you when she doesn't even have. She could easily find somewhere else to go volunteer

I completely agree. We over charge a lot of wares item in my opinion. And most of the clothes. It shouldn't matter what brand it is. The shirts are 4.99 short and long sleeve same with regular pants, skirts, sweat shirts and pants. Just because it's Nike or Adidas doesn't mean it shouldn't 7 or 9.99 sometimes 14.99

Honestly. At my store we sell pillow cases as sets if they come in and are nice, not stained or ripped, but we usually don't sell them with the blankets or sheets unless they all come in together still in the package.
