Yes you are getting clothes at a discount- cheaper than you would get at any department store - but it is also donated to them by gracious people for free & Goodwill then turns around and makes a profit on it. But they are a nonprofit business so they should NOT be making TOO MUCH PROFIT & that's the question- how much profit 💰 are they actually making❓
For example today I went in and bought a pair of pants that had a little worn out fringe on the bottom and I asked if I could get a discount. She said "no that's a solid price absolutely not". I thought maybe a dollar or two would be fair to reduce it from $8 to 6 or something like that but NO. You would think that Goodwill has people there working because they have compassion for others, but I didn't sense it from this person at all.
And that makes me a little upset and wonder HOW MUCH MONEY is Goodwill actually making? I wonder how much the CEO is making and what kind of mansion he or she may be living in. Are they making too much off of free donations to them ?
Update: "GOODWILL CEO and owner Mark Curran profits $2.3 million a year...., Goodwill has become an international nonprofit that takes in more than $4.8 billion in annual revenue"
