I like going there to support the veterans. I probably visit 5 today. Just out since I work so much. The staff is very helpful and friendly.
Excellent place to buy spiritual candles! The ones that are barely used are best because someone already prayed for you. ✝️ EXCELLENT security too!
Look what I found today! So I was driving home from work in heavy traffic, and stopped at this Goodwill. This place is huge and they have a lot of good stuff, this sparkly stand structure, that’s homemade is absolutely girlie and cute! Then I found a Henri Bendel handbag, they used to have a store at the Houston Galleria but it went out of business. So now it’s a vintage bag! You should come here, and see what you can find!
TLDR; manager seems suspicious of customers, some prices are way too high, workers seemed to follow you every step of the way / rushing you out Once the clock hit 7pm, it was like they’re doing everything they can to get you out the store (they close at 9). I was trying stuff on at 7:40 and the manager started yelling to a worker to go clean the dressing room. The worker came over to me & my friend & asked if I was almost done, because she needed to clean. All the other rooms were empty. I told her I would be 10-15 more minutes, I had a lot of clothes. I knew I would be done by 8. The worker stood outside my door and continued to ask what I didn’t want. She didn’t even start to clean the other rooms, just stood outside of mine awkwardly. There was also only 1 rack to put back clothes you didn’t want, & she told us to not place our clothes there anymore because it was too full, then took the rack away, therefore leaving us no other place to put clothes we didn’t want / that didn’t fit. We did not fill the rack, it was already full when we got to the dressing room. This worker seemed very stressed. Before trying stuff on, I was primarily looking in one section and another worker was right beside me the entire time. Manager was yelling/complaining about her employees where customers could hear. If you’re looking for clothes, they had plenty. The home goods section was very picked through. I liked that the manager was very active in the store & you could tell they cared about keeping it clean, but I felt like I couldn’t move a muscle without being followed or watched.
