I am not pushing Ross as a great retail store, I am just showing you that Goodwill is Way out of line.

The following pictures illustrate what a giant scam Goodwill is playing on our nation’s poor folks. When you donate your used goods to Goodwill, are you helping anyone more than the top dogs at the store? I doubt it. I talk to the people working there (most have been there for several years, not just a few months) and they are not making a living wage and are not being helped to find living wage jobs.

I am picking on Goodwill right now as it is the largest of the “thrift” stores, but the same thing happens in St Vincent, and the Salvation Army. I shop these stores weekly looking for “sleepers” of antique and collectable value, so I see the prices every day, and they have almost doubled since the recession began! This stinks to high heaven!
