Halley and her colleagues offer individual care and excellent customer service, plus lots of creativity and ideas. As an example, Halley knew I was looking for a dress for a special occasion. She helped me check out several options, and then several days later, emailed me a photo of another dress that came to the shop that I might want to consider. That's what I call going above and beyond! The shop is full of hip, reasonably-priced women's clothing that you might see in NYC or LA. It's the perfect place to pick up a gift for a girlfriend, with lots of cool jewelry, handbags and accessories. Much of the jewelry is locally made. Be sure to check out the kid clothing and toys upstairs. My brother and sister in law traveled from Chicago for a visit, and swung by the Goose for a gift for my daughter - they also were very impressed with this fun, hip shop and my daughter loves the wooden toy pizza they gave her. The Purple Goose also is committed to giving back to the community - another great quality.

In search of something different I went in to scope it out and was welcomed with a jewelry sale about halfway back in the store. The prices are quite low (most in the range of $5-15) and the style has a little more broad appeal. I've long used Forever21 as my cheapo go-to, but I think I need to start working Dry Goods into the mix!

I called my doctor back and was told that a message was left with the Verona Walgreens, and the doctor called the prescription in AGAIN. It is now nearly 4PM, and it took 15 minutes to find out if they were filling the prescription. Finally, they are, but there is no reason why a prescription refill should be SO-O-O-O difficult! I long for the days when we got our prescriptions at Target. We never had these problems. Unfortunately, our insurance will not allow us to use Target anymore and we are stuck with Walgreens. If I could move my prescriptions somewhere else, I would jump at the opportunity!

Nordstrom Rack is a great place to go and find what the store Nordstrom offers but at semi…read morediscounted prices. I think it's important to note that when you go in here, you're not gonna find really cheap prices. The prices are still up there. They're just a little bit less than you will find in the actually Nordstrom store and/or Nordstrom online. For me, the main reason I like Nordstrom Rack is their selection of shoes. They have a really big selection of shoes, particularly tennis shoes. They truly have a large amount of all of the name brands. And again, at semi discounted price prices. They're not cheap, but they are below what you would have to pay at the regular Nordstrom stores or most other sporting goods retailers. In terms of clothing, they have a lot of it. They have both a large selection of men and women's clothing. It's truly a vast amount. I don't usually find clothes that catch my eye at this store, but my wife always seems to find something. So, that may let you know of the mindset of the people who shop here. For men, they have a nice selection of suits, sport coats, slacks, and dress shirts. But, they're not exceptionally good deals. Personally, I prefer to go into a shop that is more devoted to those things when I buy such items. For my wife, however, she commonly finds nice dresses, tops, and also, shoes. She too, is a big fan of their shoe department. The one thing I will say is that if you want to get a nice pair of Doc Martens, this is a great place to buy them. They seem to discount Doc Martin's more than they do their other name brand shoes. This is just something to think about. Overall, if you want some high-end clothing, and/or shoes, and/or jewelry, and/or a little bit of anything else that Norstrom offers, this is a good place to purchase it.

I went to the dressing room and the attendant asking me how many items I had, I told them, and they stopped and made me let them count and leave the pack of socks I was carrying on the counter. Someone else took the socks while I was in the room. Next, I wanted some cologne. Took awhile to find someone to open the lock box where they keep it, and they looked at me like I wasn't making sense when I asked for cologne. When I tried to carry it up to go check out, they snatched it out of my hand and carried it straight to the register. Just a bit odd to treat paying customers like they're expecting you to rob them. It will probably make me stick to ordering from the online store in the future.
