Review of Goodwill in Clearwater, FL

I’m from Davenport, FL, and every time I visit Clearwater, I make it a point to stop at this Goodwill. I’ve always had great experiences and received good customer service. However, today was different. I had the worst experience with the cashier named Laurie.

From the moment I asked a question, she treated me poorly, like I was uninformed, possibly because my English isn’t perfect. When I asked for the price of a bag, she became aggravated, responded that it was $9.98, and then threw the bag to the side. Later, she charged me $12 for it, and when I tried to clarify, she ignored me.

At one point, she even asked me to pick up a hanger that was already on the floor before I even approached the register. Throughout the entire transaction, she seemed visibly irritated, and it felt like she was treating me differently because I’m Hispanic. To top it all off, as my wife and I were leaving, she shouted “Gracias” in a way that felt mocking and racist.

I spent $130 today, and I usually spend even more during my visits. This experience left a very bad impression, and I felt disrespected and uncomfortable.

Clean and large store, I have been in Tennessee and Mississippi the last 4 years and the goodwill stores there are not so nice. I saw lots of good deals and much variety. The clothes were vast and on good condition. I found many audio choices, from movies, records and cds. I also found a couple books ? and ended up with a pair of jeans ?. I look forward to exploring some more stores in the area.

I shopped at the Clearwater location this afternoon and I was completely shocked over the prices. These prices are no different than a department store who sells brand new stuff. Towels for $6.98?! A Nostalgia mini muffin pan for $8.98.. I can buy brand new for $9.99. coffee cups $3.98 and higher. What a complete joke! This company should be completely ashamed of themselves and should absolutely 100% change their name from "Goodwill'. The prices definitely don't reflect a company who is trying to be of goodwill. You will not be getting any of my donations. Shame on this company!!!
And as I was leaving 3 other customers were leaving at the same time and they were saying the same thing. None of us bought anything.

A little well organized compare to other locations. There are selections of items, not a typical Goodwill with used stuff, a lot of electronics are garbage or not functional, as well as kitchen stuff. Clothings are ok. Staff are great, everybody is focus on what their doing... Retail store is not as good way back 3 years ago.

I’m a regular thrifter and been to many goodwills. I have never encountered something like this. Such a disappointment of retail bait and switch!!! I go in today to purchase something I’ve been waiting for it to be discounted for red tag day and new tags were put on multiple items!! Talked to the manager and she said they change prices if dated old. We checked together and the dates were only 3 days apart from the new tag. She said she didn’t have a answer. This has happened many times there. Finally called them out on this!!

I like shopping at this store. I think it's very well organized compared to other thrift stores. I do agree with the other reviews about their prices being higher than they should be. I bought a 6 foot tall mechanical alien for Halloween for $75 and decided to look online to see if I could find a second one and the price of a brand new was was only $50... But I like that I can I can find interesting things and nice clothes under one roof and I can get several new outfits for $100. At the mall I'd only get 1 outfit for that amount of money.

Bro the prices be so high! Used to be cheaper. Some of the items listed as $5 are literally from the dollar store.

I’ve found a lot of good clothing here for myself, but I also know that a few more dollars and we’re at TJ Max prices.
