Goodwill = bad news ...

I tried to drop off some unused stuff at the Goodwill agency on Olive, just East of 141.  You know, up on the hill on the North side of Olive.

I say tried, because I was impolitely shooed out of the streetside office when I went in to ask how to do it and referred to the back door/loading dock.

I drove around back and discovered a young man surrounded by a mountain of donated stuff, who was going through it all and helping who appeared to be friends of his (they were laughing and colluding) to load what they wanted from the stash into their cars and trucks.

There's just something wrong with that.  I think I'll send unwanted stuff elsewhere. Salvation Army, maybe.  Or St. Vincents des Paul.
