These are trufacts. I used to work at Goodwill. I finally had enough when I opened a bag of clothes and a horde of live cockroaches fell out. I quit that day.

The other thing that made me super emo was how the Goodwill I worked at just- threw away all the things. Several times I would poke my head through the book-bin and the toy-bin of things that were to be trashed and pulled s**t out. Antique books from the 1700's and s**t and old 80's MLP big brother ponies and vintage fisher-price little people. For ******** sake, people pay a lot for that s**t!



I've had bugs too omg its the worest


I'm so lucky for the good will I work at had thier s**t together and we don't throw a lot a way

But you've seen the s**t we get sometimes...its like "this is just ******** trash"

Exactly!

I just- it made me mad cause like- the blankets our Goodwill threw away could have easily been donated to the local animal shelter.

And there's no NO no NONONONO excuse for throwing away ye olde books. I mean, you can LOOK at them and say HEY, THIS LOOKS PRETTY ******** OLD, LET'S NOT THROW IT AWAY. The most annoying part is after I 'rescued' the things from the destroy/dump bins, they would be put in the antiques counter section place and I wouldn't even get so much as a thank-you.

My favorite was when I managed to get an American Girl doll dress for 8 dollars. I did not mention how much they were getting ripped off >.>

also, my Goodwill had this s**t policy where if we saw something in the trash/dump bin and wanted to buy it, we had to take it to a manager and get them to price it, then it had to sit out in the store for 24 hours before we could buy it. Yeah, no, fuuuuck daaaaat, I just had my mom buy it for me when she would pick me up from work. No one could say anything about it then.

Also, the ******** woman who kept trying to hook me up with the mentally handicapped janitor. Like, no. What part of I'M NOT LOOKING TO DATE ANYONE EVER do you not understand?

she didnt work in the back that much though, she was mostly a cashier and then a manager

i bet she wouldve found some freaky s**t if she had worked in the donation place more often
The worst my mom found while working there was used needles.

I never worked in the store just the donation stations

Our goodwill policy is you have to wait 3 days from the tag date to buy anything

I'm the one who sorted the donations before the store receives it!

Plus the stores are always mad at us, its like try sorting the garbage before you get it and see how happy you are ******** dumbasses

I have seen so many bloody wedding gowns at thrift stores.

I suppose they won't be wearing those, again XD The stores still try to sell them with the blood.

As for the woman that claimed her husband died in those clothes... she was lying or crazy. They cut the clothes off of the live person, dying person, or dead person. They wouldn't give glass filled clothes back to the family. They try to separate some things out and give them to the family, but on rare occasions the family request certain things they are denied and may lose their minds.



Keep an eye out for clothes that are sewn back together down the back and look like they were ripped or cut the entire way down. It's normal for funeral homes to cut down the entire back of shirts, dresses, and some times the legs of pants because it's easier to work with. When people go to the hospital that have been in accidents or may be in distress they cut down the middle of the front. If that woman's husband had been in an accident that killed him, his clothes would have been cut apart or shredded at some point by medical staff or coroners.



How often do you get dead pets? sweatdrop I have found some before in Thrift stores and there are always tons of cages and tanks. I don't suggest using those because whatever the original owner's pet died of could still be present for weeks, months, or years. xp
