[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently donated a bunch of stuff to a charity thrift store that is near and dear to my heart. I'm a frequent donator. The stuff I donate is not junk. It's all newer, clean, good quality items. Mostly household goods and some clothes. They are picky on what they will and won't accept. The last few times I've gone to donate, the volunteers have been ones that I have never seen before and the last 2 times they were really rude to me. The first time I was on crutches and they took their sweet time getting stuff out of my car while I patiently waited and smiled and helped as much as I could. They were also giving each item a look over as they were taking it out, one even picked up the box to a stainless steel pasta maker and read the description for a good minute or two. Then a friend of theirs pulled up and they started chatting while I'm still standing there on crutches. Now this last time was the last straw. I am off crutches now (had major surgery) and I neatly stacked the 3 boxes by the door. You go to the back and ring the bell and someone comes out and gets the items. I rang the bell, waited almost 5 minutes and then sat in my driver's seat with the car door open while I waited. She comes to the door and tells me (not asks) to come back over, pick up the boxes, and take them inside their back room to stack them on the table. I was taken aback by this. I told her that I donate here frequently and have never been asked to do this. I told her I had recent foot surgery and it's hard for me... and I find it ridiculous that she can't help. A couple of these boxes were really lightweight. She could have easily lifted them herself. She said rudely and carelessly, "Well that's what we're dealing with here too and that's why I'm not lifting the boxes." (She clearly had NOT had any kind of surgery recently). She didn't thank me for my donation. I felt like my donation didn't matter. If someone is this rude to me when I'm taking my time to drive stuff over there and donate good quality items, then I have to wonder if they can even be trusted with these items. You have to trust when you drop these things off that your items are going to the charity to raise money, but who knows. I won't be back. I'll sell what I can and donate the funds directly. It made me so uncomfortable.[/quote] Oh my, how awful. You can always take your priceless pasta maker to another Goodwill. [/quote]
