“I walked into Goodwill today expecting the usual: a quiet stroll through the aisles, maybe finding a decent mug or a hoodie with a questionable graphic. What I did not expect was to encounter a living legend. A man whose customer service skills transcend mortal understanding. A man named TONY.
From the moment I stepped inside, the energy shifted. The fluorescent lights seemed to glow brighter. The air felt lighter. I swear I heard a faint choir in the distance. Then I realized why because Tony was on the clock.
This man didn’t greet me.
He welcomed me like I had just returned from a long voyage at sea.
His “Hello, how are you?” wasn’t just a greeting; it was a spiritual recalibration. My stress? Gone. My posture? Improved. My faith in humanity? Restored immediately.
As I browsed, Tony didn’t just help me find what I needed he anticipated my desires before I even formed them. I reached toward a shelf, and somehow, Tony was already there, gently placing the exact sweater I didn’t know I needed into my hands with the grace of an angel delivering a prophecy.
When I asked where the electronics were, Tony didn’t point.
No, no, no.
He escorted me like I was royalty, giving a guided tour with historical context, pricing insight, AND styling suggestions for items that weren’t even clothing.
At one point, I dropped something. Before it even hit the ground, Tony appeared teleported, possibly catching it mid-air like a professional athlete in the championship game of life.
And then… the checkout.
Oh, the checkout.
Tony rang up my items with the precision of a NASA engineer and the warmth of a lifelong friend. The speed? Lightning. The accuracy? Unmatched. The gratitude he showed for my purchase made me want to go shop again immediately, just for the privilege of interacting with him one more time.
Goodwill, if you’re reading this:
Give Tony a raise. Give Tony a crown. Give Tony a museum dedicated to his service.
This man is the backbone, heartbeat, and soul of the entire establishment.
If Tony is not employee of the month every month, the system is rigged.
In summary:

I came for thrifted clothes.
I left with a renewed purpose in life, a favorite employee, and a story I will tell my grandchildren.
Tony is HIM.”

“I wanted to take a moment to recognize Anna for the amazing service she provided during my recent visit to Plato’s. She was incredibly friendly, patient, and attentive from the moment I walked in. Anna helped me find exactly what I was looking for, offered great styling advice, and made the whole shopping experience enjoyable and stress-free.

It’s clear that Anna genuinely cares about her customers and takes pride in her work. She went above and beyond to make sure everything fit well and that I left completely satisfied with my purchase. Her positive attitude, professionalism, and attention to detail really stood out.”

“Honestly, please ignore all those one star reviews! Screw them! Especially the ones regarding the bathroom it’s just blasphemy. Ultimate Treasures is not only an amazing antique & thrift store filled with ANYTHING you could ask for from couches to art to movies to books to clothes to even good condition used toiletries & cooking products even TJ’s brand olive oil well hell you name it… BUT it is an incredible first date idea (like guys- write this down)! You can go exploring down every aisle & always find something incredible & worthwhile! This store has so much to offer though seriously. So I mean ‘tis the season to bring your Valentine here & go find a relic that will last an era of romance & adoration! Ps if someone could please give the leather jacket that is so sick and says “Babe Squad” on the back a great home & then please post a review with a photo of you flaunting it I’d absolutely love that (I don’t have the confidence)! Anyways, just please please please if you don’t do anything else in Downers Grove, at least make a stop to Ultimate Treasures! It’s a life changing destination to add to your list. And maybe you’ll fall in love… who knows!”

“Thank goodness for AzteK Tire Shop. This is the only place that has our awkward tire size. Everyone is really friendly and very helpful. Tire was off the rim, put new tire on and mounted in less than 10 minutes. So if you have an awkward size tire look no further than the AzteK Tire shop in Wood Dale Illinois, they got you covered..
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“A Hidden Gem in Downers Grove!
I absolutely love this Goodwill location—the design and layout make it feel like I’m shopping at Nordstrom! The atmosphere is clean, modern, and surprisingly upscale for a thrift store. The product selection is phenomenal, with everything from fashion and home goods to unique finds you won’t see anywhere else.
Prices are unbeatable, and the quality of items is consistently impressive. On top of that, the staff is friendly and helpful, which makes the shopping experience even better. Whether you're hunting for a designer piece or just browsing for fun, this store delivers.
Highly recommend checking it out—you might walk in looking for one thing and leave with a cart full of treasures!”

“Have only had decent experiences here. Really like that here are dressing rooms and volunteer staff have been helpful and kind. Shocked by the negative review. Hope people are able to see such good and donate accordingly. The nonprofit is real they support & they have helped us as well.”

“Great place, great staff, but be aware that they close in December the Food pantry. Myself and others were walking up to the door today and a bewildered desk person was wondering why we were there, it was Thursday after all. No sign on the door.”

“A sizeable Goodwill location; some of the housewares were very disorganized, other areas were better. Lots of clothes, and there are dressing rooms to try things on. Watch for the sticker color of the week that is half off! Found some clothing and home goods here”

“We bought a table here. They disassembled it for me so that it could get into the car. The staff is very friendly, they told me everything and answered all my questions (taking into account that I am not very fluent in English). I liked the furniture, but it is constantly changing there.”

“Went to this Goodwill store first time on Friday with my daughter and we loved it. Employees were friendly could be a little more proactive (training 101) but my sales rep was awesome and she offered me a rewards card to use for future items. It was nice to see that 'Everything had a place, and a Place for everything' nothing on the floors. However, I do suggest they keep a close eye on some of the clothing on the racks that have threadingloose some were torn seems like from hangers or mishandled from customers and those items should be removed. It is good to see that you show the quality and care for what you display and sale in your store because, it's the first and last impression of the day that can make an impact on your customers. I visit this store again.”

“The store is 3-4 stars overall. But I am definitely giving 5 stars to LaShay who works at this store. When she’s there, the store is much cleaner than the other days. There are couple of workers who are so rude, it’s just sad.”

“This location is fairly clean and selection is plenty. The staff are nice and reasonable! The prices aren't as bad as others. For example, Savers in Orland park is priced higher than this location.

This Savers in Schaumburg is always busy when I go. I always find something.

Lines on Monday go super fast because they are very efficient. They put out new stuff every day from what I notice by coming throughout the week.”

“Always find some good items. Whether it be a set of speakers, a lamp, or even a good book. Support your local goodwill and round up when checking out because we need to support the men and women who sort and organize our 2nd hand finds that are worth more than what they are sold for in some cases.”

“I think it was Ken and Anthony who found the books I mistakenly dropped off there. They were very nice and helpful. I really appreciate that they went above and beyond to help me. So often people do the minimum, it's great that the team at the hoffman estates goodwill does the maximum to provide their customers and donors with the best customer experience.”
