Goodwill Bins in Jacksonville

"Drove 2 hours away to visit this "great store". Was greeted with an "I'm sorry but no kids are allowed in our store. One of you are welcome to take the kids and wait outside with them while the other looks around and shops". We had no ac in the vehicle we drove, no shaded spots in the parking lot, and 2 kids who just wanted a bike and we were going to see if we could find one there. We left absolutely disgusted. I have read negative reviews today in reguards to the age policy and not a single owner commenting back on any of them. They will reply to anything else. Tell me how bars lets children in until what? 8 9 or 10 at night but kids can't be in a goodwill bin store? In a cart not touching anything? People throw alcohol bottles all over the world and glass items break all the time outside. Kids will encounter broken glass sometime is their life probably multiple times. But you're worried about broken glass in your store? The adults are worse than the kids. Ban adults too then. Make it make sense OWNER. There is WAY worse things in a bar than your store."

"Worst place I’ve ever been to. No where online does it say no open toed shoes on there website. Drove 4 hours to go her for my Grandma’s bucket list and was told we couldn’t shop. Was told there was a sign on front door. Was threatened if we didn’t leave cops would be called and we would be escorted off property like they had done the others over the past 2 weeks. Sign said no children but there was children in there with parents when that was brought up on how they were allowed Blondish hair colored supervisor grabbed my wrist and said you need to leave Now. The concern with opened toed shoes was said to be because of glass on floors. I then said well what about your hand reaching into the bins. Was told had to use common sense when digging in bins. I said really how do you suppose that arms legs feet etc would be protected by anything other than glass proof clothing. From what I seen in short time I was there wasn’t impressed just upset that I couldn’t fulfill my grandma’s bucket list. I’ve never been around such rude frontline people ever including the short guy upfront that ran to get his supervisor. I should’ve had the cops come out to press charges for her assault as I know there not allowed to touch you."

"I had a really fun time scavenger hunting here! The facility was clean, and the employees were all super friendly! I understand the rules for no kids under 16 because there are things that get broken, and if you're digging, your kiddo could get hurt! I wore gloves so that I didn't find any glass unexpectedly. I also didn't mind wearing closed toed shoes since things can fall if 2 people are digging in the same area. There are some priced things like books are priced each (I think it was .25 cents each) which is awesome since books are heavy and if by the pound, would cost an outrageous amount! I drove a long way to get there, but if I lived closer, this would be a bi-weekly store for sure!! Pictured is the super cute, brand new purse I found there!"

"Now at $1.89/lb you really gotta watch what you get. It can add up quick. Used to be .99/lb but has since doubled. It's fun digging through the bins and the staff is usually nice, but if they keep getting greedy raising the price on stuff they got donated to them for free then I'm gonna stop going. Also they no longer have bags because they are "going green", so you gotta bring your own bags or buy a tote."
