Charging as much as they can get is very consistent with their mission. It’s not their mission to provide a low-cost store where poor people can buy things. It’s to create jobs. The people working at Goodwill are what the entire thing is about. And if they make more money they can add more jobs. It’s not a goal to have low prices.

They don’t add jobs for shit. Half the staff is there on court order and the rest are underpaid as fuck.
Fuck goodwill
That sounds a little harsh for what they do. So these jobs are not competitive or we could even say they are lousy. But the people getting them would otherwise be in jail or otherwise unemployable. Organizations like this are a half step toward normal life for a lot of people coming from a dark place. It’s not a place to make a career.
It’s also based on religious kookiness which I always think is a bad foundation for any organization.
But I’m not going to say “Fuck Goodwill.” I swear there are people on the internet who think literally everything is borderline slavery.
There’s a thousand retail and fast food establishments out there dying for labor right now. There’s no need to use Goodwill as a halfway house. They aren’t teaching skills. They just give them a job and pay them less than minimum wage. If this was a job training program then there would be a point. But there isn’t.

No providing products to the working class was very much part of their mission. It obviously isn’t anymore.
