[quote $tevie][quote SteveJobs]I can't bring myself to go into one of those stores since I'm not 'needy'.
I do, however, drop off a TON of stuff there all the time.
Shopping at Goodwill helps support their programs. It's not intended to be a store solely for the 'needy'. They also have an online store and now an auction site, and I somehow doubt that their target audience is internet-surfing poor people.
I love those charity based stores and am not needy either. I can always find some kitchen untensil or gadget to buy. Remember they get this stuff for free and other than some preparation costs is pure profit. I mostly give my clothes to the VA though for distribution to the needy Vets.
