The Goodwill on 52nd is the closest to my home so I shop and donate there frequently. It is smaller than other stores in the area, but generally has a nice selection - I rarely leave empty handed. Recently I accidentally donated a bag of clothing that had a shawl and throw-blanket I meant to keep. Fortunately, I dropped off the bag on Sunday and realized my mistake before they opened Monday. Tammy, a manager was very helpful. She asked me for detailed descriptions then had employees who sort the clothing look through the bin and find the items for me. They found the items right away and set them aside for me to pick up during my lunch. I really appreciate that Tammy returned my call right when the store opened and that she called me right away when they found the items I mistakenly donated. I will definitely continue shopping and donating at this location.

Used to come here all the time because they have bags of things like yarn, fabric, knitting needles/crochet hooks. However, not only is everything else overpriced, but they follow you around after wrongfully profiling you as if you're stealing when you spend money all the time in there store. Security, three grown men (managers) and other employees following a little woman around as if I'm a cardinal threat to their donated trash. I understand people steal from every store all the time, but maybe you should only follow the people around who have stolen from you before, not someone who doesn't even steal and has spent hundreds of dollars in this store. Do better at training your 'valued' employees Goodwill.... and lower your greedy prices, because your customers are becoming tired of being treated like criminals while ALREADY being robbed by the prices of your FREE items, as very little of your inventory is bought first-hand.

As a longtime Woodstock resident, I've been going to this Goodwill for 15 years, and have always really appreciated having it in my neighborhood- I've always felt it was a cut above the other area Goodwill locations. The merchandise has always seemed to be good quality, it's always clean and well lit, the racks are rarely overstuffed, and an important aspect to me, it seemed like there were several long term employees, a sign of a good employer and a higher likelihood of very good customer service. Which has always been my experience, until today, when I had the most genuinely shocking experience. My partner and I stopped in today to kill a few minutes while we waited for our kids to get out of school, and so I could look for a few pieces for a crafting project I'm working on. I quickly found an item that seemed like it would work well for me, picked up a couple of other unneeded but fun items, and made our way to the register, just as I had many times over the years. As I reached the front counter, I was suddenly accosted by a female employee who I didn't recognize from prior visits. She informed me that she "knew that I had been trespassed" from this location. I was literally astonished, as I've never had even the smallest unpleasant exchange with staff here and would certainly remember if they had kicked me out! I assured the woman that there was a mistake, explaining how many times I frequent this location, often with my kids. She replied sarcastically "oh, I know". Still shocked by the accusation and even more so by the rude demeanor, I asked the woman what this could possibly be regarding- I would've been glad to show my ID and verify that neither she nor any other employee has ever "trespassed" me or my partner. She told me that she couldn't tell me that. Even stranger, she told me there was one employee there who, if she said that I had been trespassed, she would 100% take her word for it. This woman came over to where we were standing and "verified" that my partner and I were not allowed in the store. Having shopped this goodwill probably at least once a month for 15 years, I can tell you I have never seen this woman before in my life. They then made us leave the merchandise we planned to buy and leave the store. This experience was so surreal I don't even know what to think. Again, I've spent probably well over $1,000 in the years I've been going to this store. I've never even had a disagreement with an employer here. I understand that some businesses can attract shady characters, and I don't begrudge them keeping an eye out. But to respond to a longtime customer not only with the absolute certainty of a mistaken assumption but to do so with such utter lack of manners or professionalism is truly shocking to me. I would gladly have shown ID, politely found a way to show that this was seemingly a case of mistaken identity, but it was clear from the outset that these employees were not interested in a positive outcome. What disturbs me most greatly is that this was one of only a couple times my partner has joined me shopping at this store, and it's really difficult for me to not wonder if the treason these two white women suddenly singled us out (again, because I am in this store so often) is because my partner is a BIPOC. I truly hope that the reason I was, after 15 years, accused of a being a pretty crook banned from their neighborhood thrift store was simply coincidental to my partner's race. In any event, I still cannot believe or accept how rude, hurtful, and unprofessional these two employees behaved. Surely there must be some kind of policy of Goodwill of the greater Willamette to ensure that banned individuals are not mixed up with loyal, long term customers who are normally quite happy to spend their money supporting Goodwill and their mission, rather than leaving in embarrassment and frustration.
