Guys please help cheer me up and let me know if you think I'm wrong on this. With all the problems we have with Good wills and pricing, I have only one good will that I have always supported for the most part. It's about 5 minutes away, me and my wife have donated boxes of stuff there for years now. Boxes of clothes, I have brought several tvs, cd players, I've even brought games there. All kind of stuff. Anyways, this is the same good will that I always say has not yet got corrupted. If you recall in December I got my Virtual Boy CIB for 5 bucks at this particular good will. I've gotten lots of stuff there and not just games, every birth day for all 3 kids, me and the wife go there to purchase presents because we always find brand new stuff all the time. We highly supported it. Always donate an extra dollar on top of all purchases, etc.
Anyways, I went there today and talked to the manager who is a great guy. He knows me from going in there like 100 times a week. So when I went in, I asked him if he had any games or systems he was putting out today because he knows I get that stuff. He said "No. Unfortunately other than sports games, you may not find much games in here too much anymore". I inquired about that and he said that last week, a new procedure started for his store that he has to put video games online. I asked him for more detail and he said they have to put it on shopgoodwill.com and Ebay because they have to make more money. I told him that he knows he can ask me first if I want to pay a little more money to buy the games and he said no he cant do that. He said now, every time they get a game, he is required to type it into some goodwill intranet system and the computer lets him know if he should list it on ebay or shopgoodwill and rare circumstances, the shelf. He said it's better for the community because the good will, will in result, make more money online and have more money and services to give back to the community.
I told him he knows thats bs because of all our local good will corruption with employees stealing games and he just said he has to do it to make more money. I asked him if he thought in the end would it help lead to less retail stores and he said that the focus of the good will is to make more money and online is the new direction because it saves on rent, power for the store, employees, etc.
I'm just very upset about this and I let him know clear as day that I am no longer donating any merchandise to his store and my wife bought a couple of dresses for her and he asked for us to donate 2 pennies at the end of the 4.99 total and I told him I'm sorry no I'm not donating 2 pennies. He rolled his eyes and got upset and rudely said "well you have a great day even if you dont shop here any more"
I'm pissed about this but am I wrong?
? Should I be excited for the good will making more money online to go back and help my community even tho' I have no idea what exactly they are helping?
