I just went to a Goodwill store in St. Louis Park, MN, a suburb of Minneapolis. It is now June of 2021. The CDC has lifted the mask mandate for fully vaccinated individuals, as has the governor of MN and most recently the mayor of Minneapolis. And yet all of Goodwill's dressing rooms were still closed at this store. I had literally just been to Target, which is across the street, and all of the dressing rooms there were open. Moreover, when I tried on a suit coat over my dress shirt and out in the open in front of one of their mirrors, a store clerk told me I could not try it on. Now, I'm not some anti-vaccination person at all. I have been careful throughout the pandemic and have followed the science. The research now is that the virus really can't be transmitted easily from clothing, if at all. Obviously the customers are touching the clothing on the racks and yet we can't try any of them on or even go to one of their mirrors and hold it up to see how we look? I was polite, but when I checked out the cashier said Goodwill's new stores have no changing rooms. Really? You expect people to purchase clothes in a store (as opposed to on the Internet ) and not be allowed to determine whether the piece of clothing fits and how it looks in a mirror? Start following the science and update your unscientific Covid policies. I will not return to a Goodwill store, and I have, over many years, donated generously to the organization. This all makes no sense!
