My Goodwill desire has drained slowly over the past few years – don’t think I’ve been in a store in a year ’cause I just don’t feel the love!  The good books and clothes are all being sold online and even excluding hole-y ones, I’ve got plenty of clothes.  Today Pita and I took a drive over because she wanted more pajama-style pants and FirstBorn yelled down he wanted more wrapping paper.

While I’m still in the system as a Perks Plus loyalty member, someone changed my birth month to January, meaning I didn’t get the 15% discount.  All other discounts, like Senior and Military discounts are scheduled to be discontinued, but apparently the change has already gone through because the cashier told me he was unable to use any of them.  And even after checking my ID to prove my birthday, nothing could be changed.  The wrapping paper was full price even though it was half off holiday apparel and accessories – I don’t know what more you need for a holiday than Christmas stars and guys in Santa hats, but that’s their business.

So I used up my gift card, paid for the rest and No, No, No to Goodwill, but if their mission is “Preparing people for life” then disappointment is a great starting place.
