Goodwill Bins in Appleton

"Clearly store staff favor the regulars and their favorite resellers because so many of them stand around with their carts, just talking and blocking bins while waiting for the next rotation, and are never reprimanded. There are other people there trying to shop those exact bins you are blocking. And to the worker who "politely", yet rudely told me to wait my turn for the new bins as I didn't "wait" in the proper lineup (I was still shopping bins a few aisles down) and because I didn't want to be run over by other shoppers, can you tell me where it says we have to wait in line to shop the new bins? I didn't even come to the new bins immediately, it was after a few minutes already when the others already rummaged through them. I feel like she just wanted to be superior in her position and tell others what to do. I hardly come due to the rude treatment of staff and other shoppers. Whatever store rules that are currently in place, it needs to be re-evaluated."

"People leaving reviews saying this place is horrible don’t understand that it’s the goodwill bins. You should not expect a normal goodwill store or the comparison of a target. There are a few bins out there that are organized and “clean” but that’s rare to find. The goodwill bins offer an awesome opportunity to find great find for super cheap. The reason it is so cheap is because it’s not organized or CLEAN. I recommend to always wear gloves and wash your hands after. But I have never had a bad experience with the clothes/items here or the employees. If you are kind to other people there, including the workers, they are kind back. I recommend this place to anyone who loves a good thrift (that isn’t super expensive)."

"Really disappointed in this place. There was a recalled baby item on the floor(Fisher Price Rock n Play) that was recalled for multiple deaths. I brought it to the front and made them aware. They brought it to the back and I thought that was the end of it - they would responsibly get rid of it. But no - the next set of new bins that came out, there it was. Exact same one back on the floor AFTER being aware they have been responsible for multiple infant fatalities. I’ve made reports and documented the incident. Incredibly disappointing."

"You have to search the bins for your bargains. Stuff comes from lots of Wisconsin goodwill stores so the selection is quite vast. It is the regional sorting station. Lately they are sorting the incoming donations and selling the cream on line so your opportunities are now limited. They recently increase prices 20% which is not well received by regular shoppers but it still holds some great values in used products as well as new stuff removed from stores."
