Who is Goodwill really good for?

This isent really a question, more like a statement. I would like to say that Goodwill should officially be renamed badwill and people need to know why. I have been an employee for a goodwill for almost 6 months. I have seen some extremely scandalist activities since i have started. One example is many people are under the impression that when clothes and goods are donated that are not in perfect shape but are still useable are sent to third world contries and used for those in need, WHICH IS NOT TRUE! the salvage materials are sent to a center where they are burned, as well as shoes and books, baby materials, computer equipment, and other "unuseable" products are burned or melted down. 85% of the donations received will never be sold to customers and if they are they are overpriced so managment can make a bonus. Make sure that you check everything becuase if you donate on accident you will never see it again. i have tons of horror stories if anyone wants to know! DONT DONATE TO GOODWI
