  I have to say usually thrift shoppers are nice like-minded people but there seems to be an element of bullies creeping in? or is that just my local goodwill.  They hover round the double doors for the new stuff coming out and you feel you wouldn't dare pick something up until the hardcore shoppers have decided if its worthy of their attention.

Sure, there are bullies in every aspect of modern life.  The best way to deal with a bully is to sock him right in the nose (metaphorically-speaking, of course).  Get in there, and if you see something you like, take it.  Don't be shy.  They won't mess with you once you let them know who they're dealing with.

In the words of Sheriff Bart from Blazing Saddles:

"Once you establish yourself, they gots ta accept you."

Hi sooty,welcome.
I too live in Central Florida,and the one Goodwill store that I happen to go to,when someone can drive me is very nice.I happen to love handbags,and when the new stuff comes in,it gets ugly watching women vying for that one specific handbag,because they play tug of war.
I skip that mess and buy my stuff from Goodwill online.No hassles and no one trying to play tug of war with me.
Enjoy your stay here and I am glad you stopped lurking and joined us here....****waving****.
