Over 13,000 people liked her video and several responded to her question in comments.
"I ALWAYS find the good stuff hiding in the kids section, and usually is the color tags that are 50% off. Definitely the employees," one person replied.
"I found a skirt and blazer in the sheets section yesterday," another wrote.
"It’s mostly employees hiding stuff they want but they don’t realize we look through every piece of clothing in the store," a third added.
"My mom is works at goodwill, and yes they do hide stuff because they can’t actually buy from the store so they wait until a family member [can come]," someone confirmed.
"Adult things end up in kids by mistake. People often hide things by like stuffing shirts in couches, or inside ugly coats," a fifth user suggested.
