Some Goodwill headscratchers


You know how it’s ok to bust on family members because it goes without saying that you love them?  Therefore, I can complain about my brother because it’s just a given that there’s love there in spite of that ________ thing that he does.

It’s like that with Goodwill.  I think it goes without saying that I love Goodwill. 

So that’s why I feel like I can occasionally complain about the random and arbitrary pricing or the fact that it wouldn’t hurt them to at least dust off their donations once in a while.

(When the Goodwill price is higher than the garage sale price tag they didn’t bother to remove, it is a bit of a headscratcher – it didn’t sell at the garage sale for that much, so why would they price it higher?)

Here are a few from my last trip:



What’s with the wrapping?  I guess when you buy this mystery rug, you get to be surprised by what it actually looks like when you get it home.

Hmm…..trying to figure out why these are packaged together?  



So not only do you need to find a buyer who loves Travis, you need to find a buyer who ALSO loves Brittany.  Aside from the donor, there must be another person out there who loves them both.  But maybe not in this geographic area.

Which made me think there must be a #goodwillFails, and there is.  Let me repost this photo, which I found on the site, because it actually made me lol.  Here it is, enjoy:
