I never imagined that a trip to Goodwill for some budget-friendly clothes would turn into a scene straight out of an action movie. My name is Alex, and I was just your average young guy, trying to make ends meet. Little did I know that this shopping trip would become one of the most chaotic and unbelievable experiences of my life.The sun was shining brightly as I strolled into the Goodwill store, a haven for thrift shoppers like me. I grabbed a shopping cart and began to scour the racks, hoping to find some hidden fashion gems. The store was unusually quiet that day, and I figured I had lucked out by avoiding the weekend rush.But as I browsed through the rows of clothes, a thunderous roar filled the air, shaking the store's windows. Startled, I rushed to the entrance, my heart pounding. What I saw in the parking lot was beyond belief.A helicopter was descending upon the Goodwill parking lot, its blades slicing through the air. It didn't have any markings you'd expect on a typical chopper. Instead, it was adorned with garish colors and a logo that looked like it belonged to a circus.I couldn't believe my eyes as the helicopter's side door slid open, and a horde of chimpanzees, dressed in aviator gear, rappelled down one after the other. They clutched tiny parachutes on their backs, and I had to pinch myself to make sure I wasn't dreaming.The chimps landed gracefully, forming ranks with military precision. It was like a bizarre invasion. The one leading the group, sporting a captain's hat, barked orders through a megaphone that he held with his tail."All right, team! Operation Wardrobe Raid is a go! Move out!"In a whirlwind of chaos, the chimps stormed into the store, pushing their shopping carts with purpose. They spread out in all directions, snatching clothes from the racks and chattering excitedly in their own language. It was as if they had trained for this moment their entire lives.One chimp, wearing a top hat and monocle, inspected a tuxedo with a discerning eye. Another, decked out in a leather jacket, seemed obsessed with vintage leather boots. Their fashion sense was surprisingly refined.The store's manager, a bewildered woman named Sarah, approached me, her eyes wide with shock. "What's happening, Alex? Are these chimps...shopping?"I could only nod, equally stunned. "It certainly looks that way, Sarah. They're here to clean out our inventory!"The chimps filled their carts with an eclectic mix of clothes, from jeans and sweaters to evening gowns and wedding dresses. It was impossible to keep track of what they were grabbing, but they moved with such determination that it was clear they meant business.As the chaos continued, I watched in amazement. The chimps even had a system for quality control, nodding or shaking their heads in approval or disapproval.Eventually, the chimp captain signaled that it was time to check out. The chimps formed an orderly line at the cash registers, and the cashier, a wide-eyed young man named Mike, scanned their items. To my astonishment, the chimps paid with a hefty wad of cash they had pulled from their pockets.As they left the store, carrying bags upon bags of clothes, I couldn't help but shake my head in disbelief. The helicopter had vanished from the parking lot as mysteriously as it had appeared. Sarah and Mike exchanged incredulous glances."Well, that's something you don't see every day," Mike said, still in shock.I couldn't agree more. "I think Goodwill just had its craziest sale ever."As the choppers disappeared into the sky, leaving behind a store depleted of its entire inventory, I couldn't help but chuckle. My quest for affordable clothing had taken a wild turn, and I had just witnessed an unbelievable spectacle. Walking out of the store with a smile on my face, I realized that sometimes life throws the wildest surprises when you least expect them.

I like to shop Goodwill for books. Senior Citizen discount is not a thing at his location. Therefore, I will no longer donate to or shop at this store.

This is probably the best Goodwill in town when it comes to inventory. As with the other ones, the prices they come up with don’t make sense so I just get that 1 shirt/ pair of shoes or whatever that I really like. Overall I like coming here though.Also, that goodwill furniture/electronic store next door is so weird… you can find iPhone 3 cases, vhs rewinders, dirty hairdryers, etc… it’s like a time portal haha.

It wasn't their fault at all, that I was broke down, in their parking lot. What I couldn't and still can't understand, is why I got a fustrated attitude when I was trying to make sure, of the stores, address. I needed roadside assistance and I just needed to be sure of the address. I was thrown, a brochure and said here, its on there. Guess what! Same issue as me looking on Google....two Thomasville road locations. I didn't know which one I was at. Needless to say, after almost 3 hours in their parking lot, I finally got help from a fellow customer (was still waiting on roadside).My car issues weren't their problems and they didn't cause it. The lack of, help in somthing so simple as to helping figure out which location I was at, they rather let an already upset and frazzled person..put some embarrassment on top of it.Do better, ? now I have the location 3 hours too late....thank you Google ?

I made a visit to this Goodwill store last Friday and as I was checking out of the store there was an employee at the front counter who was consistently coughing out in front of my family. This incident caused my whole family to become very sick. I hope this incident does not happen to any other customers.

Not a bad place in general, but when buying electronics don't trust the tested sticker put on there. Have bought two different items and both didn't work.

They have a great variety at this location. Quality is very good. I live on the east side of town and don't get up this way often. When I do, I stop in to shop. Found five or six things. And donated to the learning pavilion. Great experience!!

I went to donate a few bags of clothing and it had started raining on my way over. Guy at the station waited under the covered area for me to bring my bags up (didn't expect him to come and help me unload in the rain). As I bring the bags up, he tells me, "I can't believe you are doing this right now. I don't have to accept these. I hope you don't want a receipt because I can barely reach my table." The table was not very far from him. I told him yeah whatever I don't need a receipt then because I didn't want to be in the rain anymore. He was never in the rain and the bags got wet for about 5 seconds. I'll take my donations elsewhere next time

No plexiglass or mask at checkout. Why would they remove the plexiglass?
