Shopping At Goodwill Has Become a Nightmare

submitted by Scyber to whatever 2 weeksApr 20, 2024 19:34:47 ago (+26/-0)     (whatever)

I haven't been to a Goodwill store in a couple years & decided to browse around one today that's on the outskirts of the city.
Big fuckin mistake.
Don't know if it's because it's a Saturday or "4/20 dude weed" day but this store was PACKED. Like I kinda got disoriented watching how fast all these people were shopping like it was Black Friday.
Everything in the men's section was pretty much picked over, and the ladies clothes section took up half the store.
Electronics were rummaged through with shit all over the floor, toys all over the place, housewares was a complete mess, furniture was ugly and shabby - the whole store was a mess.
I managed to find a small cooking pan and a few t-shirts to wear when I'm gonna get dirty.
And now Goodwill charges $1 for a simple plastic bag.

What I saw today is a perfect metaphor for how bad our economy is and how much worse it's gonna get.

I've found some "gems" at Goodwill - a few years ago I found a copy of "Razorblade Romance" from the band HER aka HIM that's apparently worth about $400 on Ebay (discogs says it's only worth about $75 which is a lie because this CD is rare - only 1,000 were made.)
I still have it.
