Shoplifting at Goodwill - John Evans

[CPlusPlusFreak]

I work at goodwill... our customers are fucking shady, they steal all the time

[tryingtodissappear1]

haunted by the ghost of pooing past

[Mcheetah]

He's not funny or anything, but I *have* noticed now that every Family Dollar and cheap supermarket chain in this city has both open surveillence cameras and security guards.

It's like, "I'm not paying 99 cents for these Eveready batteries, let's steal 'em!"

[wokeupthismorning100]

Have you ever seen a new car parked at a Goodwill store or a Rac-A-Center?

[airforcewifeyy09]

ha. i work at goodwill and people rob us blind everyday... its sad really

[ExtraTerrestrials]

this place was rented at the goodwill

[pookiethekitten]

I work at a thrift store and shoplifting is prolific.

And at my store we don't get it for free- we donate a portion of each donation to a local charity.

And yes, I buy all my clothing there, retail brands, like new, no one knows but me and my bank.

[heavymetalstew]

@pookiethekitten n one knows but you, your bank and the entire internet

[beambeans]

Lol walker- pooper.

[Necromeggz]

lol @ Poopergeist

[owenneil]

I saw a guy steal a record selling for a dollar at Goodwill just a couple weeks ago!

[Ryuu92]

Walker Pooper.

[SouljaTrav]

goodwill is a joke.... they take your things for free, and get an outrageous price for it. ITS used crap they are selling wake up people!!!!!!!!!!!

[WildotheD1ldo]

@SouljaTrav dude I get like 100 dollar clothes for like 5 dollars at the goodwill. I don't care if they make some money when I get 95% off shit.

[nycolea13]

@SouljaTrav

Yeah, but if they don't make some kind of income, then Goodwill wouldn't exist. And they don't have outrageous prices, don't know what Good will you are shopping at.

[DancingSpiderman]

@nycolea13 I wanted an iron to iron my clothes with, and I couldn't see paying $40 for a new one, so I picked a great one up at Goodwill for $5, and I walked towards the cashier, and I saw BRAND NEW jeans 42" waist 30" inseam, my size, nice and comfy when I took three of them off the hangers and tried them on, and I paid $8 each for brand new jeans. I couldn't believe it. Cashier says lots of clothing stores go out of bizniz , and they donate their new merchandise for the tax write-off.

[alishiade]

@SouljaTrav IKR!

[WritingIsMyObsession]

He sounds high as fuck, haha

[jackbug333]

[llNoahTheHeroll]

[ThickLight2010]

hmphhh!

[MrTedeebear]

I saw this act @ the Goodwill...

[crankthatdawg]

hes a fucking welfare bitch

[mommytobeinnow]

i find this not comedy and very offensive! Shoplifting is wrong. Stealing from the a program with a mission statement to help indiviuals with disabilities to barriers of employment. In this poor economy everyone needs help. D

[nathanH64]

@mommytobeinnow ur retarded

[roflmaoking]

@mommytobeinnow this is in no way offensive

[pmllara]

this dude is not even funny!!!get a new job!!work @ goodwill.lol!

[nathanH64]

@pmllara retard

[pmllara]

@nathanH64 nope still not funny!

[dave64ca]

I work at a Goodwill and I know that we arent supposed to make that big of a deal about theft unless its starting to get towards $10. i didnt laugh either

[D4LETTERJ4Y]

Goodwill doesn't offer a pick-up service.

[deathmonkey200]

its funny cause i work at goodwill.....and the pooper walker r always by the golf clubs lmao

[1987ian]

i have to admit that i stole a couple of hotwheels cars from goodwill when i was 7...

[frankiebones01]

That was stand up comedy? I mean if that was me, I'd throw a Goodwill party and buy an entire outfit for $11 at Goodwill and donate it back after the show. This way if people thought I wasn't funny they at least could know I stripped to my birthday suit for a good cause.

[Ahab2008]

I don't get it. :-(

[khenry1991]

poopergiest cracked me up

[jazziek11]

[mandygurl6]

kay, the only thing i found funny was the term 'poopergeist'. aside from that, this isn't terribly funny, i'm sorry. although i did laugh quite hard at 'poopergeist'. and i suppose i smiled at 'haunted pooper walker'. but seriously, that's it.

[LunInSpectra]

Live in the moment Mandy Girl.

[genyouwin]

Does anyone find this funny? I don't even know what 'Goodwill' is - a charity store, whatever - so don't say that's why I'm criticising.

His material just isn't funny. It's not even crass teen-humour funny.

Terrible.

[Bommer129]

I agree... this guy fails... i clicked on this expecting some "good" goodwill jokes but this was an EPIC fail...

[NARCOPOLO76]

Alright, did you hear the one about the guy that went into theGoodwill in Toronto (I think his name was YesMrRight) and needed to shit in the bathroom and couldn't, and now cries about it on Youtube?

[AllAmerican12]

It looks like he got that shirt from goodwill

[jsaintil]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahha

[peaceandloveletsblow]

i've got nordstom shirts and kenneth cole, polo, ambercrombie! together maybe $50.

I can dress like a yuppie and still eat apocalypse slop.

[mikeypants99]

Some people cant aford to buy new things so what I bet you never had to wear your sisters clothes like I used to have to. I hope you never have to cuz I have to.

[YesMrRight]

NO public washroom in Goodwill Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Sick of this.

More important issues for Goodwill to answer:

1) How many percentage of the income is used on charity?

2) How many percentage is used on top management/directors' salaries & allowances?

3) How many percentage is used on staffs and others?

4) Is anyone over-paid?

5) Is anyone under-paid?

Goodwill, bad management.(Toronto)

[natelywills]

Seriously, why are you SO obsessed with the restrooms at the Toronto Goodwills?? Do you have some terrible bathroom problems that always seem to occur in the Goodwill?? Maybe you should pick another thrift location for your penny wise purchases!! You have to be a frequent enough visitor for it to become something you are 'sick of'...

You are aware that this is a comedy video posting- maybe you should send these concerns to the Goodwill people.

[drwhitelight111]

Goodwill is a nonprofit organization. It helps provide people with mental and physical handicaps with jobs. They get breaks from the govt. for this reason and also the big reason for Goodwill cameras is to record employees stealing from Goodwill. Donations come in everyday and many of them are never accounted for before they end up inside an employees vehicle and are taken home....

[drwhitelight111]

....You have employees at the donation centers, the truck drivers and helpers that move the items to the store, the store employees, and then the items not sold go to the home base to be sold at the unadvertised clearance store or thrown away to make room for incoming donations. Theres all the time in the world and many hands that touch each donation before it has a chance to be sold. Customers stealing is one very small issue compared to employee theft.

[pejmul10]

I work at one in ohio, and we have problems with people stealing and sticker picking, which is also stealing. Customers are always getting mad at us about our prices, and we don't set them, the company does. People do take weird stuff, though. It's not that hard to peel off a sticker. We dont have red crayon on ours, either. People are coming up with something large and it has a dollar sticker on it when you know it had a five to ten dollar one on it.

[LMCvidz]

Why the fuck do you work there???

[pejmul10]

Where I live jobs are very hard to find. It sucks, but thats the way it is.

[YesMrRight]

Sick of it.

Goodwill Stores in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Still no improvement, still no public washrooms at Goodwill stores in Toronto.

I think the management of Toronto Goodwill Stores are having fun time here. They forgot that they should provide public washrooms at the stores.

THE top management of Goodwill Industries needs to do something about this before the legal system shuts down all Goodwill Stores here for not having washrooms at the stores.

[cannibalgourmet]

The most likely reason there are no public facilities at goodwill stores; is because of there horrendous state the general public leave public restrooms in. Because of the nature of that type of business overhead cleaning costs must be kept to a minimum.

[YesMrRight]

That is the reason I say, don't shop at Toronto Goodwill Stores.

There is no dignity shopping at Toronto Goodwill stores, especially when you need to use the washroom badly.

Rating for Toronto Goodwill Stores---

from F- to S-.

[YesMrRight]

NO public washroom at Toronto Goodwill stores.

Is this lawful?

Is this ethical? (Mind you, most of the Goodwill Stores here are huge. Mothers come with toddlers, kids, adults, old people etc, )

Now, this is more important than any issue.

1) How many percentage of the income is used on charity?

2) How many percentage is used on top management salaries & allowances?

3) How many percentage is used on staffs and others?

4) Is anyone over-paid?

5) Is anyone under-paid?

[YesMrRight]

No public washroom in almost all of the Toronto Goodwill stores. (I think, Goodwill management think that anyone wants to use the washroom must be a thief?)

One day, I was at Toronto Overlea Goodwill Store. I need to use the washroom very badly because of stomach upset. Goodwill staff told me to go next door restaurant . Next-door was closed.

I have to drive across the street to a coffee-shop. Oh...

I don't want to tell you all how bad was the experince.

Goodwill, very bad management.

[freedomtagard]

ok... why do you care start rioting and get out of OUR hair go away tell people who care

[YesMrRight]

Customers change price-tags?

Give me a break, I bet it will take you many minutes and efforts to remove the price-tags. What about the red-crayon price written?

Hello, Goodwill.

Don't treat customers like thieves.

Ask yourselves, have your ever stolen "time" from Goodwill?

1-hour working time, how much or how many minutes you are really working for Goodwill?

I have seen many Goodwill employees are working with half-dead attitudes. Isn't this a stealing of time?

[YesMrRight]

Stealing is a worldwide problem. We all hate people stealing.

There are surveillance cameras in all Toronto Goodwill stores. Besides, they have big convex mirros at corners, I think only professinoal thieves can steal without being noticed.

Occasionally, I think some greedy people might steal some easy items.

My point is, why at every Goodwill store, they need to use so many price-tags and even red-crayon to write down the price on a single item?

Customers change price-tags, they answer.

[ruppman05]

i work at a goodwill in Indiana we have cameras but people still steal it is wrong

[YesMrRight]

To Goodwill employees working in Toronto, if you know the fact that this Manager is keeping good stuffs for his friend, please reply it here on youtube.

Or you should quietly inform the head-office.

Let Goodwill regain its Goodwill.

A note to Goodwill Toronto, please treat the 3rd world new immigrants to Toronto with dignity. Your employees' attitude toward these poor immigrants must be changed.

SMILE please, Goodwill employees. Or else get out and find another job, Period.

[YesMrRight]

In fact, every year, Goodwill should post the year end financial reports at every store.

I have donated some stuffs to Goodwill. I want to see the monies are for Goodwill uses.

Not to pay hefty salaries to senior managers or Directors.

Most of Goodwill stores do not have washrooms for public.

I just don't know if this has violated any laws.

[YesMrRight]

Goodwill rip off customers. In Toronto, most of their customers are new immigrants from third worlds.

Goodwill is taking advatage to make some quick bucks from these poor immigrants.

Examples:

1) Used cameras, most prices are higher than antique dealers. (most 3rd world immigrants are the buyers, they didn't know used cameras are dirt-cheap here).

2) Used computers, they put a big note : NO refund. Means item sold as is. Who will buy them? Poor 3rd world immigrants.

Goodwill, unethical.

[YesMrRight]

One time at one of Goodwill store in Toronto, the most popular Goodwill store here, I overheard one of the employee told another customer that the Manager is keeping the good stuffs for his friend. His friend will come after office hour and do the business transactions.

I informed the Toronto Goodwill head-office. But no action is taken against the Manager.

1) Is this true?

2) Is this a common practise if it is true?

Goodwill, don't turn your name to badwill.

[YesMrRight]

Goodwill always think that people walk into the stores are thieves.

All their employees say so. Do they have any statistic?

If they always catch the thieves, then call the police.

Now, how many Goodwill employees and Managers and directors are stealing Goodwill times.

don't believe?

Please Walk into a Goodwill store in Toronto, and observe for yourselves.

The working attitude of most employees are like half-dead. You straight away know that they are stealing TIMES. Goodwill Times.

[YesMrRight]

Shopping at Goodwill has no dignity at all.

Don't shop at Goodwill.

Toronto Goodwill treat all customers like theives.

For a single item, they put at least 5 to 8 price-tags, besides, they use red color crayon to write the prices on the items, many times the red crayon just won't get rid off.

It is so embarassing to use the items with red Goodwill price marks.

You think they are doing charity?

Yes, but how many percentage of the total ?

And how many percentage the directors are getting

[Lostprincess161]

Hehehehehe, I work in a donation trailer and this is hilarious. Yeah unfortunately we get that kind of crap and I can't for the life of me figure why anyone would want to steal. That's retarded, lmao! Unfortunately people will keep stealing, and that's not gonna stop.

[mistaeyez]

The stealing occurs durng sorting. LOL.

[ainamnatas]

I work at a Goodwill. People shoplift like a motherfucker.

[YesMrRight]

Shoplift? Then call the POLICE.

Why are you all not calling the police?

Are you all trying to coverup something?

Shoplift is a world problem. Big departmental stores face the same problem.

But they provide comfortable shopping enviroment including a public washrooms for genuine shoppers.

Goodwill is filthy, most of the stores don't even have a washroom for public. Don't even care about safety problems.

If you need information on this, go to Toronto Goodwill stores and find out yourselves.

[ainamnatas]

I don't know about how things work in Canada, but the Goodwill I work at is quite clean. The bathrooms are kept spotless. They are cleaned several times a day. And as the safety manager I can assure you that is anyone gets hurt in my store it is their own fault. I am not going to say that there is not a poorly run store here and there, but most are quite nice. We actually get things that people would want to steal. Just yesterday we sold two, that's right two Flat Panel lcd Hd Tv's.

[ainamnatas]

I am not sure what you mean by cover up something. There are only two places you can go in a Goodwill where you are not under constant surveillance, the bathroom and the dressing room. There aren't many places left in the world you can go now days where you are not under surveillance. In many places you can't even walk down the street with out being recorded.

[tgraham76]

i agree mr right , i had to shit in a goodwill store the other day and they told me to go fuck myself in the texaco bathroom across the street, then the lady said that she didnt want to have to sit on the same pot as someone who got there underwear at a goodwill store. and when i started crying she called me a pussy over the intercom. then i got scared and left.

keep up the post brother lets expose goodwills bathroom policy.

[Toadphillips]

haha pussy.

[madden317]

[Escalon206]

[suikako1323]

[kingthrasher876]

[justagem4u]

[sifs4]

Hey i actually do know someone who stole from good will, (yeah it's pretty low, but she did. Yes i said she girls do shit too.

[1stPlaceDirector]

Goodwill stores don't do pickups at least in my area. The guy says they do in the video.

[knaifer]

dude you are missing the point!!

[Usagi244]

must just be in your area, they call my house once every 3 or 4 months asking if i've got anything i was going to throw away

[flipxicana33]

[sillymom]

My sides hurt from laughing! Walkers & macrame owls, he's so right!

[z3ekeezzz]

lol! Loved this

[Beanz572]

LAME!

[MarkDayComedy]

John Evans rocks....

[FeralSand]

Dude, people steal from Goodwill all the time. Usually CDs and DVDs. Small things.

[iqchicken]

Are you not familiar with the concept of comedy? Or are you just being satirical?

[j00mama802]

Feralsand is right, there isn't a low of what people will steal; i.e. durring Katrina my church was gathering donations for people who were displaced and seeking temporary residency in my church's facilites, and people still robbed a whole truckful of food, clothes, and other petty items. And when you don't have alot just a little makes a big difference. Plus there is just a line that no one should cross, and making fun of the poor/charities is one of them.

[Universe888]

Guys, relax. Don't think about it too hard: it's satire. By definition, it's the use of humour and wit on topical issues, and no matter the issue, if it's set up well, it will appeal to the general audience. Sure, there might be the occasional person that gets offended, but that's almost the point of satire. I thought this was set up well, and was pretty funny: he ran the joke a bit long, but it was still funny.

[slobone]

True, but most of the stealing goes on in the backroom before the good stuff even hits the floor.

[DannacaLynn]

EXACTLY!!

[ainamnatas]

Like hell. Goodwill is hard core about employee theft.

[dkaycee]

haha, he says it to "hakuna matata"

[dkaycee]

that was one of the best posted so far, really funny. this guy's probably goin somewhere
