    Plato's Closet - Supposed stain!

    There were two people ahead of me with a small amount of items, and they took almost an hour to get…read morethrough my stuff. They shoved everything back in the bag all scrunched up without folding it at all. There is a sign in there that says they like to buy American eagle, they have so much American eagle stuff in there. It's almost like a full American eagle store. I don't understand it, that stuff is so cheap to begin with why would you buy it secondhand? My biggest problem with the store is the employee that rang me up was so rude. Honestly, this seems to be a problem all over the country with Plato's closet. I don't know why in the three states I've lived in the employees are consistently so rude. I recommend Fashion Cents Ephrata! They are nice, helpful, always greet with a smile, and they are so busy they take a TON of clothing and even let you know what you should bring back and sell in a different season! And yes, they buy clothing other than American eagle.

    Organized, well stocked and clean. This site provides a vast array of gently used clothing and…read moreaccessories for all sizes and style preferences. The spacious floor plan is well kept which makes it feel less cluttered than many other thrift stores I've visited. Prices are a bit higher than I would have expected to pay for used items ($9+ for a used dress) Dressing rooms are stalls on the main floor that do not provide locks which makes for a rushed and uncomfortable try on experience for fear of someone opening the door- intentionally or otherwise. In conclusion, I would visit here again if all other options (ie. Ross, Marshals, Etc.) do not work out.

    I have been a repeat customer at multiple Boscov's locations over the years. I frequently partake…read morein the great sale prices for shoes, auditorium sales, linens, house decor and fancier styles of clothing for myself and my family. Our last incredible deal purchase consisted of leather style storage benches marked down from about $60 to $20! My girls and I each purchased one for our rooms. We also love that we can get delicious Godiva chocolates and other sweets at reasonable prices. This has become our family's go to place for shoes since Payless had closed. The prices are always reasonable and there's a wide selection of styles. The sales offer impressive discounts and opportunities to save money on quality items. Despite the sometimes less than joyful/pleasant staff, I'd recommend this shopping location for the sales and items offered. It is a shame that many (not all) of the sales reps just seem like unhappy people. When I shop there I do my best to set a higher standard of kindness by demonstrating to others how I like to be treated through my own words/actions. (Just because they may not be kind, doesn't mean I have to act the same way.)

    I just spent over an hour and a half looking for a dress to wear to my company's holiday party and…read morewhen I got to the counter, the cashier in Petites who was training holiday help quite literally refused to sell it to me. It was missing the price but still had the plastic tag on it and I even showed her the wrack I got it from--$29.99. So she checked the sewn-in label for a style number and said it wasn't on there. So then she called down to Juniors, certain that only their dept sold this brand, but they don't. She rudely stated, "I can't sell you this because I can't tell if this is even a Boscov's dress. Someone may have placed their own dress on the wrack and left it there." Had she taken the time to look it up like I did: "Violet B Bell Sleeve Knit Plaid A-Line Dress" in stock at Boscov's Berkshire Mall. Took me less than a minute to find. I've regrettably purchased a lot here, but never again after today. Not even Christmas gift cards, which I was going to add to my order.

Now the layout of the store is bizarre and their whole Kohls Cash, scratch offs at the register, multiple discounts for seemingly everything from showing up at the right day/time to parking in the correct spot seems more like playing three card monte in Times Square circa 1978 than a normal retail strategy but past the games the fact is simply that this place has really good prices and selection. The lovely wife was scoring more than Gary Busey outside the Santander Arena at 2am on Christmas Eve. Several items were marked down 70 or 80 percent along with a wide range of size and color choices. I mean we're talking actual wearable clothing for $3 or $4 dollars a piece and really good name brand sneakers that were $70 for $35. I was ready to gouge my eyes out with salad tongs at the thought of coming here but the lovely wife found what she wanted which makes her happy and she found it in what I thought was record time which makes me really freakin' happy so I felt that we were winning more than Charlie Sheen. At some point we'll be back, I'm sure.
