    Cheap clothes and rude employees. The fitting room attendant wouldn't let me in the fitting room with my underage daughter. Made me wait out in the sea of clothes racks and made her uncomfortably walk out into the open half dressed so I could see how a dress fit her rather than allowing me to poke my head in the door. Nothing says self -esteem than making a 12 year old parade around in an ill fitting dress just because you think are queen of the fitting room. She's 12 and I'm her mother. Your "store policies" can kiss my ass. We wouldn't have even been in there if it wasn't to spend a gift card received as a Christmas gift. Feeling obligated to spend it, my daughter walked around after the fitting room incident and sheepishly picked out a few shirts. The cash registers are hard to find. There is one by the mall entrance, but off to the side in a weird place, and one way in the back behind a wall behind the shoes. If there are more they do an excellent job of making sure you can't see them. The employees don't wear name tags and with good reason - so that when you have a complaint about one (or several) of them you can't pick out who was so rude and completely unqualified to be working in retail service. What I can tell you is this: she wore a lanyard with a bright yellow tag that said HEAD CASHIER, she was working at the back cash wrap, she has brown eyes, bra-strap length brown hair with side swept bangs and she was VERY concerned about going to a party tonight. So concerned that she spent the entire 15 minutes it took her to ring up my daughter's two t-shirts talking to her friend in line behind me about who was wearing what to the party later. After HEAD CASHIER and Friend In Line Behind Me were done party planning, she balled up the change (a few dollar bills) from the gift card and handed it to me, not bothering to count it out or even look in my general direction. Then she looked at me and said "Are you sure this is even going to fit? You can't bring it back!" I started to say "Why no as a matter of fact I don't know if they fit because I'm not allowed to go in the fitting room with my daughter..." but only got about 3 syllables out before she started party planning again. We walked the 17 miles from the back register to the mall entrance stepping over at least 6 different piles of clothes on the floor. Employees everywhere and not one could be bothered to clean. Screw this store. Next time the gift card is just going to have to go to waste.

    This is certainly the largest Forever 21 store that I've ever seen, having replaced one of the anchor tenants at the mall. I must admit to a certain amount of ambivalence when it comes to the whole Forever 21 experience. I have friends who always dress beautifully and stylishly that say a good portion of their clothes come from Forever 21, yet whenever I'm there I have a hard time finding something that I like and usually leave empty handed. Maybe it is just the fact that the store is just so large that the whole idea of finding something that I like, in the right size and color, that actually fits and looks good on me is just too daunting. Or maybe it's just bad luck, or the fact that I've never really figured out how the store is organized so I wander around aimlessly not really getting together the motivation to actually try something on. I must admit I have enjoyed making fun of the store on occasions. Whatever empty-handed streak I've been on was broken this past weekend when my friend convinced me to make a trip here to try to find a black blazer at 8:50 pm on a Saturday night, ten minutes before the mall closed. She, unfortunately, found her search fruitless. I, on the other hand, left with a whole armful of cute, really cheap, tops in all different colors that will be perfect to wear under my dance tops. I even found some earrings and lip gloss to go with everything and all at incredibly cheap prices. Forever 21, for those who are unacquainted with it, carries colorful fashion forward clothing, jewelry, and cosmetics all at cheap prices. A lot of it is trendy and designed to appeal to those who wish they were 21 again, or that haven't quite reached that "advanced age" yet. Forever 21? Hell, I'd be thrilled to spend a few years back at 31 or even 41. I wouldn't trade the wisdom I've gained in those ensuing years, but that doesn't mean I can't occasionally dress a little younger than I am. PS - We found out after we entered the store that they actually close at 10:00, one hour later than the rest of the mall.

    Nordstrom Rack in Bakersfield is an average experience compared to the other Nordstrom Racks across…read morethis beautiful state of California. This Nordstrom Rack has plenty of inventory it just happens to be average, overpriced items that can be found at the TJ Maxx right next door or somewhere between Marshalls and Kohls. Today was probably one of the few times that I actually was looking for a pair of shoes and they happen to be some hocus I don't believe Nordstrom Rack does price matching when they add their stickers to their products but a lot of their products are overpriced whether something is on sale or not is debatable. Today I was looking for On clouds or Hokas for my upcoming trip. The Nordstrom Rack usually has comparable prices to online at the on store or even the Hoka store but after researching several items including the one in the pictures below there's no reason to shop at Nordstrom Rack anymore, instead shop online and save 10 to 20%. I really do understand sales price meaning Hoka can run better sales in most cases as the manufacturer but most items are overpriced in Nordstrom Rack. Ralph Lauren polo shirts two to three years old are still running $70 even more expensive than the outlet price, basically Nordstrom Rack is overpriced in my opinion and this one in Bakersfield has given me reason to continue to go.

    This place has high end brands of clothing, shoes and accessories all at great prices! Can't wait…read moreto come back to pick up another pair of shoes for the family.
