Goodwill Bins in Hawaii

"This is an outlet location. You must know what you're getting into before you go. See the photos. Everything is dumped into blue bins that are wheeled out to the sales floor. Then you dig through the bins to try to find something you'll want. Then you bring it to the counter and you pay by the pound. I think its $2.99/lb here. No, nothing is on hangers. It can be a bit chaotic. Yes, parking can be tight. No, the area is not Beverly Hills. Some workers aren't the best, some are amazing. Yes, you have to wait sometimes while they switch out bins. But that just means you get to begin a new search for bargain goodies! So bring the right attitude, know what you're getting into, what to expect and a little sense of adventure and you'll have a great time and find some incredible deals!!"

"Let me start off my saying this place is not the usual GW outlet where you pay .99 or even 1.99 per lbs. Their prices are insulting and disrespectful for literal trash. Yes, its trash they couldn't put in their regular stores. Occasionally you mught find a decent item but then examine it and see it has a bunch of holes or smell absolutely disgusting. Tons of bugs (especially roaches) along with other mystery liquids/substances in the bins. Please keep in mind its rare for an actual rotation to happen. Like 2+ hours at times. The place is soooo tiny to be using it as an outlet location. Shame on them for that. Dont expect nearly as many bins as every other location. Everyone has to be shoulder to shoulder the entire time. I've been in Walgreens bigger than this place. You could not pay me to waste my time and go back here ever again"

"I came here in the beginning of june from Seattle for a month trip. First i enjoyed this place but as I continued going my enjoyment of this place went down. -First off there has been multiple times where the store opened 15-40 mins late. -They tell customers not to sit in the textile room but yet people can sit on the stage area in the front of the store and leave there stuff there. -There are elderly people who shop at the textile room and the management tells them to stand the whole 5-6 hours while there day. -It takes hours to get in a new rotation. Sometimes 1.5 hours for just 1 and throughout the whole day 3 in total. -Workers can be seen just walking in circles not rotating any bins and just talking stories in back. Now moving to the mainland in the coming weeks i look back at this bin as one of the worse. Like the other goodwills let the people hang out in there as long as there now disruption. Sure am fine waiting outside for rotations but its just it takes a long time for one. If anything these rules need to be changed and or adjusted so everyone can enjoy there time there."

"Oh, the ceilings were low, and the lights barely glowed, And the vibe in this place? It just silently groaned. The air smelled like sadness, like dirt and despair, And the walls seemed to whisper, “You don’t want to be here.” The people sat waiting, all lined up in rows, For the bins to roll out—what treasures? Who knows! It felt like a contest, but grim and bizarre, A thrift-store Hunger Games gone much too far. And there on her perch, high above the dismay, Sat the cashier, the lifeguard of thrift store cliché. “NO SCOOPING!” she’d yell, with a glare and a sneer, Pointing at signs that said it quite clear. The clothes? Oh, so dirty, the items? A joke, Each one looked like it had survived fire or smoke. And the streets outside? A sad little trail, Of trash, broken dreams, and the scent of stale fail. This place was a circus, but not in a fun way, A spot where hope packed up and moved far away. So enter if you must, but don’t stay too long, Or you’ll leave with the feeling that something’s gone wrong."
