You have a great daughter who is looking out for her Mom ☺️👍 good on her!!!! And good job 👍👏👌 too, Mom!

I'm glad she reported the worker. You are not a 2 year old reaching for the hot stove. That is just not acceptable.

Was a portion of this video edited out? Because the comments are not making sense. What happened?

@@cherylpesutimassie5010 nothing edited out. What is not making sense? Did you watch the video?

The workers at our store get really itchy. They say you can't take stuff off the rack of things going out. Same with the things they are pulling because they were last weeks color of the week and they are sending it to another store. If I messed it up, that'd be one thing. But if I take it, you have less work to do and it is guaranteed sold.

Thank you so much! That means the world to me.

I think this message is appreciated by a lot of us resellers...thank you from us too!

That is the sort of behavior that makes a Karen out of an otherwise normal person, I would have asked for the manager.

Strikes me that the employee may be showing the negative attitude she’s learned from her superiors at that store. Without customers they have no business. A good time for an Undercover Boss situation at that Goodwill.

I can't believe you got hit. One time the cashier stold a silk hankie from me. I called in and got her . Couldn't win. When you go thrifting for whatever reason, you shouldn't have to worry about such things. I am sorry about what happened to you.💜💜💜💜💜🐞🐞🐞💜💜💜💜💜🐞🐞🐞💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🐞🐞🐞💜💜💜💜💜💜🐞🐞🐞💜💜💜💜💜💜💜🐞🐞🐞💜💜💜💜💜💜🐞🐞🐞💜💜💜💜💜

Right on. She was more patient than I would have been. No hitting! Police call moments later. Assault.

Thank you! I will keep making them!

Good video

I agree that this is an interesting video. One question, was she serious or just kidding with you? I ask because it is often hard to see a person's expression with these darn masks on.

Okay oh, I would have told that woman never to touch me ever and I would have made it hell I would have screamed in that aisle. I would have made a big deal!!!! Secondly that is a long time to wait but you did have some really nice purchases, I don't know I might have waited. I have two reached into those cards that they have not shelved yet and nothing has ever happened to me oh, they usually don't even have an employee around there. The more people take out of there, the less they have to put away.

@@Jane5720 and that's why ppl call others "karen"..don't scream..just fix the situation..

Our Goodwill just started posting signs not to take things from the carts. I’m not sure why as long as people are nice and not shoving the employees liked it because it was less to put away :)

@@karaerway4907 at ours they actually have signs saying it's perfectly fine to take from the carts!

@@karaerway4907 Curious where it was posted. If on a wall somewhere that'd be stupid. Better be posted on cart. But still stupid

Its crazy if the stuff is for sale what is the problem

Or carries and shots 1st ask questions later

Absolutely

That's what I was thinking, imagine if she had slapped the wring person what she would have got.

Because they know people resell it online.

pam Cowger I agree the pricing is way too high now. I buy things and use them. I can buy a comforter off eBay that’s new and costs less. I don’t buy from thrift stores and sell to others but if I did, it would be fine to do. People earn a living the way they’re able and if somebody buys what they’re selling...I’m not making judgements about it...sorry...this is geared to the remark that tries to shame others who try to earn a bit by selling from their score at thrift stores...

@@PK-bh1ww I really don't know why you feel it is ok to jump on me for a simple comment! And I don't need a lecture on the good that some thrift stores do! I have been putting money in the SA pots since I was a very little girl and my mother explained what and why they were doing this. And yes they help many people in need but it shouldn't be at the expense of people on a fixed income (like myself) or family's that are struggling to get clothes and perhaps some toys for their little ones!!!! And yes the SA and goodwill prices at least in my state have gone crazy! When you pick up an item and the original sticker is still on the bottom and "they" have marked it more that the original price, well in my book that's just WRONG! As far as this gal buying stuff to resale, last I checked this is still a free country and people can make money the best way they can. She is the one going from store to store hunting for items then hoping they will sell after she has to clean them up, post them, hopefully sell, ship them etc. And NO ONE is forcing people to buy things on line. Some people I know are thrilled to find that one piece they have been looking for to complete a set or add to their collection! And lastly NO ONE has the right to SLAP anyone, period! That was totally uncalled! Have a good day Penny and you might want to check yourself before commenting on an innocent comment.

Lot of people buy and sell on eBay for higher so that's why. And I worked for Goodwill and I'm sure there's more to the story.

@@PK-bh1ww yes times are so hard alot of people I know are buying stuff for cheaper and selling it on sites like eBay but there is no reason what so ever for someone who works there to put there hands on her she could of politely told her ma'am you have to wait until I put it on a shelf which still makes no sense she was actually helping her out by taking stuff out of the buggy less work she would of had to do and I can tell you that woman who slapped her would of got slapped right back I will not aloud anyone to put there hands on me and if you would of been listening to her she doesn't really sell the stuff for what it's worth she just goes up maybe 10 20 dollars but you need to figure this is a job for her she has to get up in the morning get dressed and go out looking through all that nasty stuff and hope she can find a few pcs to sell then go home clean it all up then take pictures of it and post it that is alot of work I know I use to do it so now you fussing because she was going to buy something for 4 dollars and sell it for 20 that is a 16 dollar profit if the buyer pays shipping so now out that 16 dollars you have to take her over head out which is her car note car insurance gas her time it takes to clean the items and look them up and see how much there worth take pictures and post it so you tell me if she is making a ton of money and you not anyone else here can tell me that if they could sell something they bought for much more that you wouldn't cause at times like these everyone is trying to figure out how to make money this panidemic has so many people going crazy because they don't know how they going to pay there bills I just lost a friend who killed himself because he had lost everything while waiting for the government to make a decision and he isn't the only one there are alot more like him they just don't want the public to know about it it's all just so sad to me so before you come on here and put anyone down please I ask you to think really hard what you going to say before you say it cause I can tell you the American people need love now more than ever not hate I wish you well and pray I helped you understand on a much better level than you were

Or a heavy plate.

She should have slapped her back

Battery is hitting assult is the threat. i.e Assault:." im going to hit you" Battery: actually hitting

Karen D. Breeden Interesting.......I’m English, and under English law, assault is the act of touching someone without permission and nothing to do with threatening. So if someone pokes my shoulder, that’s assault.

@@christinemillership1189 ikr confusing as i lived in England .so when i came over to states i was totally confused. I t had to be explained. I remember it now as. " you can be verbally assaulted but not verbally battered"

Exactly

After this woman brushed hers and wore her mask.

Me too I'm nice til you put your hands on me

Too true

Thank you.

Thank you.

The stores I still visit also love for me to grab from their bins. It only makes sense to let us unload it for them!

Just got started and love watching you shop

I’m with you Carol, I think I would have freaked! I had an Uber driver screaming at me for no reason (she came unhinged) and that was scary enough!

I've been accused of lying (Walmart), had my hand slapped (Sam's Club) , been screamed at (Safeway), I'm starting to think there's an insanity clause in employment agreements, if you're not crazy they won't hire you. LOL!

Im the wrong one to slap. Crazy when disrespected is my middle name. That Goodwill would have been torn apart with me beating the snot out of the one that slapped me. Do not touch me ever!!!

It should say it on the outside of the bins. No issues but why they are mean about it is a wonderment. Employee needs to go.

Good one🤣😂

I understand what your saying but sometimes people can't react to situations, bc of shock or anger or their personal reasons for but I am glad her daughter did

And she passed right by the matching cookie jar and something else (2 matching pieces, large ones) at 25:16, just before she got the pig & cow teapot...

The workers at my Goodwill are happy when I take stuff off their carts, less work for them, lol!

I was so shocked! I was almost in tears - and then again when I was shooting that ending... I'm so sad how scared people are that they would impulsively act that way. My daughter called the store manager and they seemed to be taking it seriously.

@Howard Black that's actually something predators and bullies think... that the victim somehow deserves it and brings it on themselves. Besides when someone does something like that out of the blue it can be really intimidating and you freeze. All those people saying that they would`ve slapped back... they would've done no such thing if it happened to them. It's easy to say in hindsight.

@Howard Black I'm sorry I shouldn't have called you a predator or bully. But you said it yourself that they were CAUSING the abuse when they chose to walk away or when they were emotional about it afterwards. I'm not against standing up for yourself. But that doesn't mean that someone isn't allowed to show emotions or cry. She also didn't say she did that in front of the person. I get really tired of people thinking that anyone who shows a little emotion or chooses to walk away is somehow a weak person who needs to learn how to stand up for themselves. While in fact it will ask more strength sometimes to walk away. Also I've been in a situation where I did not have a choice because the man was drunk and aggressive and could've beaten me to pulp. I'm glad I walked away. And I did cry afterwards... because that's just a way to release all that tension from getting your boundaries violated. That doesn't mean that I'm somehow a person who attracts bullies. On the contrary, I mostly don't. And I do understand that sociopaths and the like will choose their victims. But this was just an angry lady who lashed out. It could've happened to anyone. Well maybe not to a man with enough physical appearance. But she can't help being another woman, can she? And please be nice also on the internet. You don't have to repeat my message in bold type or say I have a twisted moral or world view. You can't conclude anything of the sort from my message. I'm just another human being who is allowed to give my opinion.

I found wonderful things at the Union Gospel Mission Thrift Store in Spokane Valley, WA and their prices were very reasonable. Goodwill has gone overboard on their prices!! It's a turn off. I really enjoy your videos!

I want to see thriting in NJ.

Absolutely!

Thank you so much!

Thank you!

I'm so glad I don't work retail anymore. I always said everyone should have to do it once in their life and then all customers would be more considerate. So many in this world say things to people I would never dream of saying to anyone. People everywhere need to remember the Golden Rule. best of luck to you :)

@@musiciankitty I wish experience mellowed people out. My former sis in law spent many years as a waitress. I refused to go out to eat with her because her behavior was that bad. She was embarrassing to shop with also.

Same in Georgia. Everybody know the policy.

still think that's stupid. To them a sale is a sale.

If someone hits you, well expect to be hit back. Simple.

RIGHT! Their prices have gotten way out of hand. They have made that " rule" about not taking things out of the cart at our goodwill too, but they really don't enforce it. Yes, we should all love each other, but you need to file charges against that employee.

Unlike Goodwill (it's just a money making independant business chain) the Salvation Army uses its profits to help people. They do the most good for the most people. Goodwill lines their own pockets.

The prices are terrible especially when every thing is DONATED to them. I live in KERNERSVILLE, North Carolina, and go to Goodwill looking for unusual decorative items. The Goodwill here is so NASTY now.The smell is completely disgusting and it is so messy. There is no order to anything and there is more that should have been tossed and never put out on the shelves & racks, than is acceptable. This is really disturbing to me because I donate to certain organizations and never give anything away that’s worn out. Someone from Goodwill headquarters should see what’s happened here, but I don’t think they really care. If they are trying to sell donated crap at unreasonable prices in a disgusting store, I personally will never go back. There are too many other thrift stores in this area. I know lots of people who will never donate to Goodwill again because of the higher prices. Disgusting.

@@joburrow9863 we have to remember that it costs Good Will to display all donations for sale. They are a business like any other. As well staff fled.when the pandemic came to town and many never returned. So you have few trying to do the job of many. I hate that a customer was treated so bizarrely. I expect that employee was at the end of her rope. (To be kind)

Lots of mine have a fit if touch the carts. It doesn't make it fair for everone. Funny how they are different.

I am so sorry that she hit you, omg, I do hope you reported her, she had no right

I would most definitely gotten her fired and pressed charges! I would not expect to get anything for free however!

Cathy Biller I don’t think I would have gone as far as had them fired, but I would have walked out with my cart for no charge or filed assault charges.

@@deniseangonese8314 But she deserved to be fired. She's representing GW. If she was my employee, she'd be gone instantly. If it was just a tap, assault charges won't hold muster.

That slap was not abuse, it was assault! And assault is a crime. No one gets to lay hands on you! The police should have been called and charges pressed. The employee may very well have special needs, but GoodWill and any other business has the obligation to hire employees, special needs or not, who are capable of working with the public without harming them!

I would have went to jail

@@cindypittman8776 Am going on 83 yrs and might have really confronted her big time a few years back ! The thing today is we hopefully have LEARNED, not knowing the state of mind of a person we're dealing with could result in a nightmare . She most definitely should have been reported, following up with the district CEO of Goodwill ! Everyone's safety and well-being depends on their findings and actions ! THE TIMES HAVE CHANGED. BE SAFE OUT THERE !

@@cindypittman8776 LOL, me too!!!

Bad Bag That is a very good point. 😀

I was thinking the same thing

Me. Too

Me too

Call p,.police then your attorney

@@bettybrigance6784 I wouldn't sue a Goodwill because an employee but I would talk to the manager and if I wasn't happy I would call corporate. That employee is putting a lot of people in danger because hit the right person now days and someone could shot up the whole store.

Heifer is gonna slap the wrong person with PTSD or a red head like me! And she will be picking her face up off the floor!! I would definitely report her to manager!

It's called battery. Assault is the threat of harm.

I've never heard of such a thrift store. Sounds like something I would support and donate items.

but if you work in retail, you have to remember the customer doesn't care what problems the employee has - just wants service. That said - physical or verbal abuse should not tolerated at all...

Thank you... and welcome!

Press charges ? C'mon

I don'd think it's so much selfish as it is scared and stressed. That clerk at GW may have been told not to allow customers to take things from the cart. I can imagine several instances in which that would be a good idea. If the item is picked up and looked at and then put back; that is one more person who has put their possibly infected hands on that item. However, slapping a customer is an offense that should be punishable by separation from your job.

That used to make me crazy! Ours finally started letting certain people price stuff. I was the Queen of finding things with no price.

How stupid is that. Let the manager decide it! Losing $...

I saw them too and was wandering why you didn’t take them... 🌻 But in the end everything was left behind. 🥺

okay karen

@@redwolves1933 What’s your answer Karen?

@Oswegoma really?! Hummm...no really 😕 You think she deserved to be smacked?!

I so wish we had a flea market here!

@@TheNICHELady that sounds like a good opportunity for a new line of business maybe with a subordinate partner to mentor.

Maybe you might consider the employee’s side? Perhaps there is a store policy. If everyone grabbed things off the cart, interfering with the orderly placement of objects, it would be a mess. The store provides real world job experience for those not able to find a job. You interfered with the task. Maybe you should apologize?

I am sorry that happened to you.

I'm terribly sorry Mary Exton that you were treated so badly. People like that have a far more severe problem than you or I with our weight. Please know you are beautiful. I don't have to see you to know that. Real beauty is in how we conduct ourselves. God Bless you and have a great day.

Slapping your hand is assault call the cops!

You rock, Mary! People just have hate in their heart. You should just say, "I will pray for you."

Should have called the police immediately

It's broken because some people are in a hurry to scrounge in the standby cart before it get put on the shelves and accidentally break things ..

I’ve picked things out of carts at Walmart where they putting back merch that people didn’t put back. I always ask, never been told no. Think it’s the same reason. Saves them restocking

Ever Goodwill is different - this one always allowed shopping from the carts as does everyone I shop in now
