Goodwill permanently closes fitting rooms

[pinkytoe]

At least in my state, they have made the decision to permanently close all Goodwill fitting rooms due to theft, drug use and vandalism. So if I shop there, I will have to take clothes home and return for store credit. Too much hassle so I won't be going there very often anymore. Too bad misfits ruin it for everyone else.

Now that you mention it, I can see that the brand new Goodwill store I love nearest me has no fitting rooms. That’s OK, I can judge the fit of things by eyeballing them. But yeah, that’s got to be a problem


Now I wonder if the other Goodwill store has fitting rooms. As I think about it, I think they did remove him. And the St. vincent DePaul store never had fitting rooms. I guess I just didn’t think about it since I haven’t used Goodwill fitting rooms in forever.

I never used fitting rooms, but I occasionally used a tape measure. I generally employed Iris Lily's method, or went by the size. I'm not fond of a "body-con" fit, so I rarely judge wrong.

I hate fitting rooms. I'm phobic about them. I'll try a blouse or button up over my clothes in the aisle. I use the waistband around my neck trick for skirts and trousers and that works.

I always try on clothes. It may look nice on the hanger but not necessarily on me. I hate shopping on line for this reason.

I'm another who always tries on clothes. My favorite independent thrift stores have reopened their dressing rooms. I don't know about Goodwill or SA, since I haven't been to either recently. I think Saver's removed theirs completely, as well as moving to a complete self-service checkout setup.

Safe injection sites could cut down on the dressing rooms being shooting galleries as well as library bathrooms and a few other places.

I've never heard of the "waistband around my neck trick". What is that?

I've heard that some thrifters wear a close-fitting under-layer and just try clothes on over that.

One thing I do find annoying about the sold by weight Goodwill in Nogales I go on and on about? There are no electrical outlets on the floor to test anything. Everything is so cheap that it's no big financial loss to get a dud.....but it does seem to create waste in the sense that said dud might be wiser placed in a developing country where things are repaired and not replaced.
