    Very true. In the labor market around here (the Cracker Barrel off the interstate has closed half it's dining area due to no help), GW is lucky to have any staff. These employees at this store are friendly, helpful & I go out of my way to thank them. I really couldn't believe that this paperweight made it to my hands without a scratch.

    A woman was buying like-new ride-on toys for her grandkids first visit since covid. That made me happy. Regardless of how anyone feels about GW in general, it's nice to see stuff get a second (or third) chance at usefulness prior to being landfilled.

    Amen. Of course it's nice for US to find some real goodies too! If I'd found that it would chipped never mind scratched. That's if they didn't send it to goodwillonline instead and overprice it. Mine gets zero jewelry these days except some Target leftovers. Silverplate but no silver. I scored today but that was a rarity.

    Finding something like that at a GW now is like winning the Powerball ! Course 10-20 long years ago,not so much-I think they have Musk's drones flying thru the place at night evaluating and pulling anything worth over five bucks-you're slipping Elon !
