Goodwill in Baton Rouge is more of a retail business with a few donated trinkets.

And just so you know, savers is not a nonprofit. It is a for profit business so they are even worse than Goodwill because they accept donations and turn around and resell it just for profit. There are no nonprofits benefiting from their sales. I choose not to shop at savers or around here it is called value Village.

I'm much more particular about what I purchase at GW now. I have to really want the item & know it's usefulness to me. Plus, I donate now to smaller area thrift stores, not GW.

If GW would go back to asking reasonable thrift prices like they used to, they would sell more. It's not the resellers - it's corporate greed. I hate to see things at double the price they should be - nobody will buy - and the items will end up broken and useless at the bins. So sad.

I worked at a GW. The resellers ARE DRIVING PRICES UP! WHEN YOU BUY SOMETHING FOR $2.99 AND GET $ 50-250 ...GW WANTS SOME OF THAT PIE TOO!

Or worse, yet they end up in the landfills which if you think about it, the people who donated to Goodwill to begin with we’re trying to avoid that situation. This country is so greedy.

@@catherinewhitman8333 I can see that, but that is not Goodwill‘s mission. They receive everything for free so anything that they get for it is profit that they can use to help other people, pay their employees, etc. businesses have to buy their at wholesale and then they turn around and sell it for retail. My being a reseller is just like any other small business and should not be punished or looked down on. Thanks for your comment!

That shouldn't matter to this cooperation. They get their inventory for FREE! The End! It doesn't matter what I do with the item after I purchase it. Goodwill is now ONLY about profit and NOT for the people who need USED items instead of brand new items.

Well, I'm a businessperson just like any other. Goodwill is NOT a nonprofit! They may use SOME of their funds for helping folks with job training, but they are a business that does what any big (American) business does by using whatever means to raise profits to pay their executives. I have actually talked with the local store managers who are frustrated by the corporate mandate to raise prices. If you go to their online selling site, you will see that they are cherry-picking all the best things to resell at a much higher price than most little resell businesses like mine. So actually, it is the growth of people buying second-hand goods online that is causing the high prices! However, you will see in an upcoming thrift video of a little Goodwill near me, that if you are patient, you can get good deals with their discount stickers. I spent $108 and saved $30 in discounts. Thanks for watching and your comment! God Bless

Hi Dear.. I visited your KZread channel and found it needs a lot of updates. First of all your channel video SEO is very weak due to which your channel video views are not increasing. If you do SEO then your video will come first in the search list and your video views and subscribers will increase. Do you want to customize your channel?❤❤

@gailwilliams527826 күн бұрын
As I watched her handling all that stuff, I was thinking ‘drop that crap and get back to your dogs!’ Why would anyone who lived in a house/apartment/shelter of any kind, think they needed to haul them around and leave them in their car!?!
@CathiesCurations25 күн бұрын
I truly appreciate this comment. Please know that I have had these two dogs since the day they were born. They are my heart and they LOVE to go with me everywhere - they are way more stressed when I leave them at home. I leave my car locked with the AC running on hot days. They have a huge bowl of fresh, cold water, and they get a treat before I go in and when I come out. They are very used to waiting and watching for me. However, I never left them in the car for more than 30 minutes. Thanks for watching and your comment!

@@CathiesCurations My dog is the same way and even though I am training him to stay home alone, he still has severe separation anxiety. people get pissed that sometimes I bring him with me and leave him in the car (safely and when the weather is not extreme). Little do they know Im seeing a dog trainer and working with my vet on getting medication that works for my dog. they both know I take him with me when I can..also my dog trainer leaves her dogs in the car when she can lol. people love to judge before they understand the full situation and before doing real research. I think If people saw how unwell my dog gets when left home alone they would understand some dog owners are trying their best and doing what's best for their dog.

This is going to seem petty but when I had an antique shop I hated "clankers". It is possible not to make a clanking noise every time you touch something or put it down . Some manage to make noise even with paper items. Minimum attention is required to make your way through a space without constant banging the merch around.
