Remember when goodwill started raising prices because non poor people started shopping there?
Maybe don't ruin the few stores that poor people can already barely afford.
Is this blaming customers who can afford increased pricing at Goodwill or is it blaming Goodwill for milking their customers once they realized they could get away with it?
It can be both. People don't realize how much the way they spend their money has a lot to do with why things are the way they are nowadays.
The first time a company raised prices with a bullshit reason they should've gone bankrupt by lack of customers. But they didn't because people have proven they'll shell out money regardless of the price.
It's blaming people that go into thrift stores looking for items to immediately flip for profit online, depriving the community of needed material resources at an affordable price.
