That’s right, I said it. I mean it.
This afternoon I decided to finally get rid of the old desk I had. Mind you this thing was an “office” desk and was actually quite large. I called Goodwill asking if it was something that they would take. The man on the phone basically told me that they would have to “inspect it and make sure it was in ‘retail’ status.” Retail? Are you kidding me? It’s frickin’ Goodwill! Since when did Goodwill become T.J. Max? He wanted to make sure that there were “no scratches or chipped edges” on it.
REALLY??!?!?!?
I mean WOW! I thought I was doing a nice thing by just making a donation but I guess not. If you ever wanna give them anything it has to be in the same condition that it was in the day you bought it. Oh and it also can not weigh that much. I guess they don’t want poor people or some jackass who wants to be a hipster to have to do any heavy lifting of any sort. That’s right, keep making it easier for them. Or should I say lazier.
I know that some of you might think it is wrong of me to be saying this about a charity such as this one. Well, you also did not hear the man on the phone complain about high costs for the company to take things to the dump. Well, if your company was inspecting things as closely as you did my desk then I am wondering how 1/2 the shit I seen the store makes it passed your “trained specialists” and makes it to the sales floor.
I will forever take stuff straight to the dump. I won’t think twice about those less fortunate than I am. I will just laugh when I see a commercial for them on the t.v. asking for donations. No longer will I do my part.
Except for the 6 bags of clothes. I need to get rid of them. I don’t think their is any underwear in there. If there is…..I will make them inspect it just in case.
