Goodwill Store

This location has a nice selection of higher-​end items in their display cases (namely purses and watches). They also have a good 3 – 4 shelves of new items. This store is on the smaller side, but they have a good portion of clothes and shoes that are in good condition and are mid-​to higher end brands. It helps that this location is Barrington-​adjacent.
The employee that rang me up gave me some incorrect information about the rewards program. I had signed up for Goodwill REwards at another location where they did not have the membership cards and I was told to ask for a card the next time I was in, which they did give me when I asked at the Algonquin store. However, I was given a «Stars Card» and the employee told me that I wouldn’t earn any points unless my purchase was over $ 20. Unless there’s some fine print I missed, I don’t this is the case. Not a big deal since I bought something under $ 5.

I do not often visit re-​sale shops (unless it is Second Round Equestrian Consignment shop). My kids wanted to see what all the hoopla was about, so we went.
Ugh. Messy. Dusty. Crowded. Too many adjectives to give it more than 5 minutes of my time.
