Goodwill Store: Brunswick

"The book had two prices on the Book it was confusing asked for a Manger she was too busy to help out an employee, said to me the $2.00 Stickers was rong and it was the $6.00 don't you know it is worth alot of money question what dose the Manager do if they can't answer questions who is running the place puzzles missing Pieces $5.00 people please stop donating to them"

"The employees were so rude. I have never been treated with such lack of basic decency and customer service in a goodwill store, ever. Three different employees ignored me when I asked where to find different sections of the store,(this was my first trip to goodwill in Brunswick) and at the end of it, the check out lady was short and inconsiderate. She didn't bother to put my items in the bags I bought, which she so inconsiderately stacked glass cups on tops of and walked away for me to deal with. I should have turned around and walked out when the first lady rudely told me to move out of her way with a clothing rack. (If you're an employee seeing this, work on your manners and the way that you associate with people. I was already having a bad day and now I want to crawl into bed and cry, thanks for that)"

"Conveniently located in cooks corner. Plenty of parking and easy access in and out of the store. It has a drive through drop off which is nice. I do have a generalized concern with Goodwill Industries overall concept and plans. They have spent a boat load of money purchasing land and building these type of structures and it seems to me that there profits are going towards development when it should be going towards serving the underprivileged or those in need. The prices are way too high compared to the old Salvation Army or even Walmart. Keeping in mind that you don't have to wash the clothes you buy at Walmart before you can wear them, and most items are cheaper at Walmart, (and they are new). You can find the occasional deal item, like a cheap bread mixer or some odd ball dinner plates, but the clothing is somewhat expensive, especially if you are looking for a name brand...as those items will be marked up 2 or 3 times. Overall I'm not sure that Goodwill is worth a trip, you would be better off shopping at a second hand store (like Lots for Tots in Falmouth, Freeport Community Services or a consignment store in Brunswick, like Estilo or New Beginnings). The clothes are cleaner and the items are overall in better condition than you will find at Goodwill at a comparable price. You should always check out Walmart's roll back or clearance first as they generally beat Goodwill's prices for new vs well used. I'm assuming that Goodwill's prices are high to support their expanding infrastructure as, from what I hear, they don't pay their workers very much over minimum wage...thus creating their own cliental. Seems like Goodwill has lost their way and no longer subscribes to their stated goals."

"Phenomenal variety of items. Great store organization and zoning. Best Goodwill I've seen. Store has many things you never knew you loved. Great variety of used electronics and movies/music. I have bought many vintage gaming pieces and games for astounding prices. The 50% off color barb scheme seems quite rigged, but sometimes you can capitalize. Before corona it was much better organized and stocked, but since then inflow of goods has decreased so it is understandable. They aren't doing enough to limit the spread of corona. People walking around with no masks, touching everything and not respecting distancing."

"A great non-typical Goodwill store with good selection of individual and store donations. This location is very clean and organized with name brands for sale as well. They have good sales on Sunday and Mondays. They have a 20% discount for veterans on Tuesdays. There is a great selection of clothing organized in sizes. There is a good selection of books. Not much furniture. There is plenty of parking but to he main entrance is in the rear. The front is just for dropping off items. There are restrooms available as well."
