Goodwill Bins in Bellmawr

"One of the employees kept following me around and harassing me she kept pointing to my Motorola fire radio microphone on my chest area attached to my radio strap asking if it was a body camera and if it was I had to turn it off or leave the store I proceeded to explain what it was and all was fine and she walked away not even five minutes later she’s asking again only this time points out the flash light on the microphone saying it’s a camera lens so I explained it’s a flash light and turned it on to show that it’s a led light and indeed NOT a camera lens and ok I gave her the benefit of the doubt and kept looking around for things to buy but she came up to me 2 more times trying to insist I have a body camera ok annoyed at this point thinking to my self if she says something again I’m walking out the store and bringing my business elsewhere granted i should have made a complaint and asked for a manager but given I was in a department uniform jacket I didn’t want to draw unwanted negative attention while wearing a department patch on my shoulder and yes she came over to me and was saying stuff about the microphone again so i just left the cart in the middle of the store didn’t bother purchasing anything or putting anything back in the bins and left probably for the last time never to return to this store Rewind 3 years I was at this same goodwill outlet I was never going to complain about this but given the recent situation at this location I am now I was there on my birthday with family doing a thrifting trip around the SJ area there was a WW2 USMC footlocker up by the register being used as a storage bin for items for sale so I asked the employee at the register if by any chance would they sell it because I collect WW2 items and have a very extensive collection she looked at it and thought about it but unfortunately I was told no because it was a store fixture and couldn’t be sold because they needed it to hold the item that were in it for sale I said ok and went on shopping disappointed but not surprised since it was being used as a storage bin but fast forward about 30 minutes I’m in line waiting to pay the person in line right in front of me asks the same thing and was told sit tight while she got a manager to look at it and get there opinion at this pint I’m a very annoyed now but thinking she’ll get the same answer from the manager that that cashier told me but when the manager came out they said yes they would sell it for $20 i said something to that manager about how i asked that same cashier about 30 minutes ago that i was interested in buying that same footlocker all the manager would say is that she could prove that I ask that cashier and the cashier told me oh well not my problem it sold to somebody else and to make matters worse the customer buying the footlocker kept laughing at me and saying oh I’ll sell it to you for $50 laughing as if she was excited she got over on me I would’ve usual paid $50 for something like that but i refused to give that nasty customer the satisfaction after laughing at me because she got over on me I ended up leaving the line I was in and checking out with a different cashier only because one item in my cart I really wanted and couldn’t make myself put back or I would have left after all that went down to remove myself from the harsh environment l should have learned my lesson that time but nope l had the Motorola fire radio incident that I talked about above in this review happen recently I’ll probably never again step foot in this location i wish i could leave a - 5 star review but ill just leave a 1 star since that’s the lowest allowed and the pictures l left in this review are of the Motorola speakers microphone and the radio that it attaches to that the female employee kept harassing me about insisting it was a body camera and photos of my collection to prove I wasn’t just gonna resell the footlocker that I actually collect this stuff and wanted it for my personal collection this store has definitely lost a frequent customer for a very long time unless things change"

"I've been to other Goodwill Outlets and what makes the experience at this location particularly negative is the competitive shopping grabs that management makes possible by providing large shopping carts to customers. Not only are they used by many to empty the contents of new bins before anyone else can look through them (often separating shoes from their mates, never to be found again) but the carts block the bins and aisles, making it extra chaotic and difficult. The only thing management cares about is people "not running with the carts." Prepare for no rhyme or reason and being asked to pay more for heavy items than they would have sold for in the regular Goodwill store."

"Sooo good. This one has both clothes and a robust selection of furniture and home goods. All for ridiculously low prices (you pay by the pound bb!) Are the clothes thrown in dirty bins? Yes. Does it sometimes smell kinda weird in there? You damn right it does. But that's the beauty. Goodwill Outlets separate the men from the boys. I've heard that some folks camp out all day. I will never go to a regular Goodwill again."

"While you CAN POTENTIALLY FIND some rlly cool stuff in here for a good price DO not expect to find parking especially first thing in the morning. It’s a joke especially bc theyre in an industrial park so you’d have to walk miles to get there if you don’t just wait forever for another person to leave… also rules aren’t rlly enforced there, I mean the employees will firmly tell you stand behind a line and dont run which is confusing if it’s you’re first time and some of the resellers are just rude or just incompetent ppl just have no spatial awareness at all and won’t apologize theyre just aggressive about it. Theres also an employee who hits on girls there and makes you feel weird. It’s still a cool place to find some interesting trinkets. But I’m sure there’ll be a story to tell"
