Very organized and well maintained by the staff. They have a good variety of goods and furniture, not just clothes. Staff is polite and fast with checkout.
The “manager” Johnson was absolutely rude and didn’t care about me or any of my friends that went in that week. Then a woman named Brenda has very bad attitude and decided to cause a problem by raising her voice and laughing at me when I tried asking a simple question. So I contacted a friend in the better business and they will be hearing from them soon.
Very nice place and who is in charge to manage arranging the item he or she is stylish and classy thank you goodwill for keeping our community happy and get what they like in a very affordable prices
Clean store very well organized but prices are to high on furniture.They need to remember this stuff was all donated they price it as if it was brand new on showroom floor
Now hiring should be changed to NOT hiring. Dont waste your time here in looking for a job.
Great staff, excellent customer service. I would recommend it to someone.
Clean!!! Organized, well kept. The cleanest friendly staff. Love going there. Liked alot. Thanks Goodwill.
I just love going there!!!! So many new items and all well organized 🙂
Clean store.Reliable workers.Plenty in stock to select from.
I usually refrain from negative reviews. Especially when it comes to non-profit organizations however, because of the attitude of one employee. I cannot in good conscience recommend donating to this place. I will make sure that in the future I will donate to a local organization or at least someone who will show some appreciation. Never have I ever been left with such a bad taste in my mouth when giving to a good cause.
Good selection. Lots of holiday stuff. So many jeans. Youll find dishware SETS here that are in good condition. There is lots of space in the store.
Is getting to pricey $5 for a kids shirt that is used.... Umm no i rather go to Ross 🤷
Very clean and organized. Friendly employees. Reasonable prices.
Like the prices on gently used vliths and other items. Great location as well
Friendly service great food
I was always happy spending hundreds of dollars at the White Lane Goodwill until the Ming Goodwill opened and started going there. I am aging and sometimes in pain while standing for extended periods of time. I need to sit down... but on this particular day, the Ming Avenue Goodwill was not having it. The young woman manager approached me and told me I was not allowed to sit on their furniture and pick through my basket items!! She said customers were complaining that I was blocking them from looking at the piece and that sitting was not allowed at their store. Had anybody appeared to be interested, I would have certainly moved!! Nobody asked. I was livid and came so close to making a grievance about her---using the loud and downgrading tone of voice she wanted everyone to hear how she spoke to a gray haired woman in her 60s who was in pain. She did not bother to ask if I was okay and would I mind moving on. I left the Ming store in pajn, drove off and never returned! This is how a store zealot manager ruins their reputation. I hope she slips on a wet diaper and...
I wouldnt recommend donating to this Goodwill with so many others in the area. The employee I encountered was rude, and expected me to do the job she is paid to do. I understand Goodwill employs some with background problems. But I have shopped and donated to Goodwill over 20+ years, and have never encountered a rude employee until I went here. I recently had a leg injury and was unable to place each item into its desired category which is why I wouldnt recommend.
Lots off items. Prices getting a bit higher lately. Any way lots off lower price compared. With retail stores. after Christmas sale and good prices. Check it out. Buy todays 50% discount. Red tagged items.
Well organized and helpful staff! :)
Excellent place. Customer service amazing. I love it
Good place to shop if youre not picky
It was okay I had help there and the guys that work there in the young lady they helped me a lot
A little to paranoid for me and a couple of the people see to be barely breathing, haha joke.. Its normal And thats it not impressed.
Very expressive, especially when the stuff is donated to them.
Never have I gave a 5-star rating. This GoodWill in Taft, is by far the best one Ive shopped at. I love the girls! Constantly busy hanging, bringing and helping in clothes. Alot of great items to pick from. Theyre organized, clean and their patience are outstanding, with what they deal with day to day. Customer service is five 🌟 or More. Way to GO!
Love/hate love going to the thrift shop because you can always find some cool stuff but I hate that the price for some shirt is up to $4, I purchased 2 Tshirts total was $9 bucks !!! I recently went to The thrift shop on Bernard & Got me a pair of shorts with Two dress shirts plus some baby clothes for $10 & the stuff I selected was not even on sale!
This place was clean and well kept up
Great, clean, in order
Very friendly staff and a nice selection of donated items to choose. Area is nicely maintained and the prices are very reasonable! Come check it out if you need to shop on a budget!
I have to remove my review. After visiting this Goodwill today. I felt embarrassed for the employee working there as their manager Rose was real rude to her and myself as a customer. She needs to come out a little more respectful specially if she is going to speak to an employee making a mistake. Everyone makes mistakes, learn to make your employees feel comfortable to come to you when they need help.
Great store to find unique items for a very good price.
Nice location. Used to be Orchard. Only down side is they no longer put pricing on the clothes. Signs on the racks tell you. Nice and clean
In my opinion not much inventory and the workers could have been a little friendlier
To be honest I dont see how this place is still in business they never have anything worth buying everything is junk I guess people in Bakersfield like buying junk that is the only explanation I can think of why they are still in business every once in a great great great while they might have something worth buying but its a diamond in the rough very hard to find good stuff here and when you do its way overpriced Ive worked at a Goodwill before I know how the pricing works theres no reason why things that get donated to them should be sold for 10 * the actual value
Been there twice, staff was rude both times, they changed prices from what was on the tag at the register to higher prices and argued with me over an article of clothing I found in pajamas saying it was pants and charged me 5.29 for what should have been 3.99. Will NEVER shop here again. Ill just stick to the friendly staff and reasonable prices at the one on Olive Dr.
Wonder staff!!! Very friendly and was able to find a decent replacement blow dryer for my fiancee.
They had books, thats all I came for. Pretty scant selection tbh. Tons of clothes, pictures, trinkets, junk etc otherwise.
A great place with a great cause. Service was excellent, prices were amazing, and above all a wonderful place for finding Hidden Treasures.
First they didnt have anyone to help me load the small wood entertainment center I bought from them. Then I couldnt fit it in my SUV but the cashier immediately offered me my money back. However the manager(?) came walking up and told me I would have to pick it up the next day even when I mentioned I didnt know anyone with a truck. That next day I discovered it would cost almost $50 to rent a trailer. This same manager called me at home and said I wasnt getting my money back and they were selling it to someone else. Thats illegal - you cant sell the same item twice, to two different customers! The other Goodwill has better people AND longer time to pickup.
I loved it...great items, mostly everything I bought was new and the 2 girls at the checks and were really nice, Renee and christina I think she had strawberryblond hair, she helped me to my car ...a very nice shopping experience!
Large variety of household items and decor, large selection of clothing and miscellaneous items, wheelchair accessible bathrooms, very clean environment,
We visited all the Goodwill shooters recently just for fun, and we found some very nice buys including a pretty set of Noritake China. I think there prices in a couple of their stores are a bit too high, but was impressed with the newest store on Ming and Ashe Rds
Decent size store, lots of stuff, clothes are organized but everything else is seems to be just thrown anywhere. Didnt have what I was looking for.
This Goodwill is so much better than the one in Rosedale. They have a lot more room too.
They have a lot of GREAT stuff there is something good for everyone you may FIND something GREAT for you and sometimes its brand new.
One of the best Goodwills I have ever visited really really big and organized
Very cool. You can find really cool vintage hilfiger
Had fun rummaging through stuff. found brand new boots for half price of regular store to wear at school farm and fair so that was nice.
Well to tell you tbe truth!!!! i went to two different locations,and to be onest, everything was over priced,and the items were not nice,, as ive shop in manny times threw out the u.s.. and visit your goodwill stores..i really thirent find nothing that i was looking for..in this two locations.. as in las vegas theres alot of good items and in fare conditions. so this time i came hope,,a LITTLE upset about goodwill stores
My experience at the ming location has always been ok Not horrible not great, Except one there is an associate by the name of Mary who works there, She is always very helpful Cheerful And always ready to help She makes my experience and all the other customers in her grasp A really good one . Mary may be the only reason i keep coming back .i live alot closer to the whitelane location. So this rating is based off of Marys customer service
Love goodwill yet starting to be picky with what they will accept as donations other that Im enjoy them
My boys always have fun here. Just be warned it gets packed on the evenings and weekends.
Unorganized, clothes priced way to high for being used. A pair of gently used jeans generic $10.00. When to Ross bought new pair jeans for $12.00! Disappointed
They have stuff you cant find anywhere else
Love taking my stuff there to help people in need
Neat used stuff. Very green, good for the community and enviorment.
I love goodwill. I dont like it when the workers give u the worst attitude and they give preference to the people they know with the stuff they pull out.
They have a lot of nice furniture I plan to go back this evening to look at some when I will have the truck I bought a shirt and some shorts there at a very reasonable price
Good stuff, good contribution to homeless, addicts in recovery or attempt at recovery, mental issues. Do the right thing, Blessings pay forward.
My son find alot of stuff that we can use.
It doesnt have much
Lots of stuff for good price its fair
Prices okay, selection ehh.
Good place to go do some shopping
Good source for back o school shopping
Always find good stuff
Very clean with excellent merchandise for low prices
Dont see much things, only has lot of clothes.. very less toys and storage stuff
I always find something I want here
Clean and organized racks as well as fitting rooms. Nice staff.
The stories always a little dirty and never organized
Love the thrift stores.....
This places gets their this game free and sell them for a brand new price. Ill post a pic later of a bike donated by Target because it was bent up. They were selling it for $99.99 which is the cost of the same bike brand new at Target. They are cheating people. Hope nobody bought it.
Love the new place and very friendly
Awesome selection very helpful
Always has nice things
Found lots of good things
Clean with great customer care.
Great price for blue jeans and furniture
Moving after 16 years...they took everything I had! Thank you!
Brand New when I went. Large area and plenty of clothes to choose from but furniture selection is small.
Very Nice place
Service has been better
Big store but prices may be a little too high.
Love it good selection
They are getting pricy but sometimes when they have a lot of donations u can find a deal.
Good toy section!
Honestly I think they have gotten to high on their prices for used items, there are too many dollar stores now a days where a buck goes alot farther.
Not worth the time rummaging through stuff.
Not many nick nacks!
No Refunds No CreditNo Batteries to Validate Working Merchandise
Store is a bit unorganized but they are working on it.
Favorite store
My favorite store.
They didnt really have much
My favorite Goodwill so far!!
Lots to choose from staff not very friendly
Okay finds. Prices getting ridiculous and no more return policy.
Real big and clean.
Great place to shop
