One policy that baffles me about the Goodwill's around here is that if an electronic item has several components, such as a cordless phone system with a base unit and 3 or 4 extensions, they'll package and price them all separately, rather than as a group. What good is an extension cordless phone if it's not mated to the base unit it was designed for? They do the same thing with stuff like surround speakers, price each component separately rather than as a set.

I think the majority of thrift shop employees there are by and large too dumb to realize they are a set in the first place....It is like fast food employees; I can order 3-5 simple things 10 times in a row, and if I don't check their work %40 of the time I'll come home with an incorrect order...They either don't bother to think or can't think when trying. Hell I've been to thrifts where the cashiers can't add or do simple maths in their head that most folks are already light years ahead of by middle school...
