The Dark Reality Behind America’s Greatest Thrift Store Empire

How a Saturday night internet wormhole effectively ruined my favorite store.

While goodwill is a chairty, legally, only 1/8 of its profit goes towards chairty work.

Also the disabled workers don't even get paid minimum wage.

Kokomo = GM

You could not be more wrong.

We try to give to the true charity shops. Not to Goodwill.

Goodwill is not actually a charity, it's boss/owner rakes in millions. At least according to the reports I've seen.

Our baby stuff usually goes to the Lutheran run non-profit in Lowell. This lady's ministry would certainly qualify but the baby stuff is gone. We will have more as he ages up. Kobe is currently in 18month old clothing and transitioning up to 2year old clothing

Agreed. I will buy from them, mostly their website, because there are serious bargains to be had. But I have never donated to them and never will. I am not interested in donating my items to be resold for profit.

That's disappointing to learn. We'll have to figure out some better options for our stuff going forward.

I was looking at my fuel use over the life of my van and realized that at 203,000 miles on my 2017 Ram ProMaster City I have now spent as much for fuel as I did to buy the van. Most of that was before $4 and up gas prices.
