    Goodwill in southeast georgia savannah, was wildly and horrifically, traumatically abusive to me the eight months I worked there. They wereand still are, also ridiculously and pathetically abusing & making fun of the handicapped and challenged employees and terrorizing, harassing them.
    Boycott Goodwill ! Don't shop and don't donate.
