I was having a nice day until I asked a sales associate to help me at Laura's…read more I actually saw that they were sold out of an item on line, and asked if they happened to have it on the sales floor, but the sales person argued that i was wrong in having ever seen it. When I am looking for something at Laura's, my next stop is not Value Village. It was poor taste for her to suggest that I should to go to Value Village to find it there instead. She was a rude person. She was abrupt individual. If you buy Any item and you are treated well in the sales process, that item holds more value and a good memory of the sales experience. I walked out of Laura's wondering how many other people felt the same way I was left to feel by an inconsiderate sales person,an without just cause.

Great looking clothes at deep discounts 2. Great selection in a wide variety of sizes 3. Store is attractively laid out 4. Mannequins show outfits that I never would have thought to put together 5. The email coupons- sign up for them The cons: 1. Staff seem to go out of their way to avoid helping for the most part 2. The outlet line is not quite up to the same standard as the regular retail line Overall I was very pleased with my shopping experience. Don't go in expecting to be greeted immediately at the door and assisted throughout your entire shopping experience as you are at the BR flagship stores because it's not going to happen- it is an outlet after all. The quality of the outlet line is slightly lower than the flagship line, but still on par with Gap or better. I was able to put together several outfits in under 30 minutes and left feeling as though my time there had been well spent.

I work across the street/parking lot from this store so I am in here often. Over the course of my…read morejob my wardrobe has basically become a Banana Republic closet. I am glad that it's an outlet, because not only are the prices really good, but I actually prefer their selection to that of the main store in the Shopping Center, which I feel is geared towards women about 15-20 years older than me. Being so close I've learned to wait for good sales and have scored some major deals. My only issue with the store is that I find the turnover of clothes can be a little slow, but I find the get enough new pieces in regularly to keep me coming back.

Very poor customer service experience at the Dartmouth Marshalls tonight…read more I was doing Christmas shopping and brought my own reusable bags, which I placed on the counter at checkout. The cashier scanned all of my items and did not bag anything. After paying, I asked if my items would be bagged and was told no. I was informed that staff are not allowed to bag items if customers bring their own bags and that items are only bagged if you purchase a Marshall's bag. Reusable bags are supposed to exist for environmental reasons, yet this policy feels like nothing more than a money grab. Marshall's no longer provides bags, but then refuses to bag items when customers bring their own. That makes no sense and certainly does not feel customer‑friendly, nor does it feel like its being done for the environment. Marshall's has always been one of my favorite stores, but this experience made me seriously question that and now I am wondering where customer service has gone. I have never had an experience like this at any other Marshalls location. Extremely disappointing!

Disappointment. That's the word that springs to mind when I think about my first Canadian…read moreMarshall's experience. I wasn't sure what to expect when I headed to Marshalls, but I was told it was "like Winners but better!". So I thought: "Okay, sounds good to me. Winners is pretty good!"and I headed out. But friends, don't be deceived - Winners and Marshalls are pretty much the same thing. (Annnd apparently they're owned by the same company) The layouts are the same, the signage is the same, the selection is the same and the staff were basically non-existent, except for the burly security guard that side-eyed everyone who walked in. Even after walking in and thinking "This looks just like Winners.", I gave it a chance. I saw so many folks walking out of the store and around Dartmouth Crossing with Marshalls bags that I thought it must have some good deals. Well, maybe. I'm a larger lady so I headed right to the plus section...or should I say the plus rack. There was one double-sided rack. There were about 20 shirts in different sizes. They were mostly black, or gray, or another dark colour, and they were just kinda enh. The pants weren't any better. I looked around, thinking maybe I was missing something, but no dice. I really found nothing there that made me excited or made me think "Ohhh! I'll be back!" Not sure what all the fuss was about, but unless I hear something better from a trusted shopping companion, I'll stick to other stores.

Moda has its new location in Dartmouth Crossing…read more It carries the swimwear, shoes, cloths and really great purses. Prices are high, but the quality is there. It has some great choices for the ladies, I love the selection of boots etc. Really different stuff here.

So my 1st impression of this store was "Oh, this rack is kids bathing suits, do they have womens?"…read more.. Oh no, they were adults. Unless you are an A or MAYBE a B cup, you will not find a bathing suit here to fit you. I will say that they had some nice shoes, but they were WAY over priced and it was all random brand names that I have never even heard of before. I was really, really unimpressed. It might have been better if the sales girl had of at least said "Hi!" but for the 15 minutes we were in there she just stood at the counter aimlessly looking around a pouting.

I will be the first to say, I am not a regular of these stores, but when I need to they have a nice selection. It seems to cater to the lady in between, the one who is not the teen, has some spunk still in her step though. They do have an arrange of sizes for you which is nice for the lady with the curves.

As Nerf Gun…read morefever has struck our apartment, we headed into Dartmouth Crossing to check out Toys R Us' selection. I've never been in the new TRU location, as it was built just after I left Dartmouth Crossing. The layout is really nice, bright and clear, with an connecting entrance to Baby's R Us, which is next door, and which I will never enter, unless someone drags me with quite a bit of force. Or bribery. The overall layout is super different than the old spot in MicMac, and it's also not nearly as big. It has a bit of a squished in feeling, to be honest. We were both looking for specific things, and we found them both. They have an excellent assortment of science toys, action figures, plushies, everything kids could want; Heck, they have everything I want and I'm twenty-eight! It was an ok visit. I'll be back again, I'm sure.

I get to cash the Barbie and Horse ring up as 69.99! I said no thank you I am not paying that. She pulled up the flyer and there was a Barbie and Horse on sale for 44.97 and it had a white horse instead of the traditional brown color. So I went on my why without it. I wanted to go look at this display and see how deceiving it was. After looking at it, I felt I should go to customer service and let them know of the error. To my surprise the awesome sales rep said I could have the Barbie and Horse for the price listed for sale, and it was their error and they will Price Guarantee the item! Thanks Toys R us!!!!

As you continue to walk towards the back you'll find the clearance section with lots of great deals. Also down back you'll find a good selection of children's and enfant's clothing - much of which is on sale. Overall, it's a fun place to shop. There are lots of staff throughout the store and they're all very friendly and helpful. And while, the regular retail prices are somewhat steep, keep in mind that it is "Tommy Hilfiger" and there's always the option of buying from the clearance section.

Great kids selection down back and that is as well were the sale racks are normally as well. One thing that I would like to see more are purses, I don't find that the selection is there.

The store will only do a refund up to 60 days after purchase and will not allow me to return them through mail or send them any photos at all to even just have them refund my card. I have never in my life had such poor customer service and they will absolutely NEVER get our business ever again. The manager of the store even agreed its ridiculous and happens often. Living 3 hours away from the nearest store we are just out $100 dollars and a pair of shoes. Absolutely disgusted definitely do not recommend ever shopping there.
