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.

When we were in there the store itself was laid out nicely, bra's panties etc were on the right and swimwear and beach accessories on the left not hard hey. Great selection of suits and accessories to match as ll pretty reasonable prices that wont leave you broke and guilty that you actually purchased it. Some suit are priced way to high for the product that you are getting. One thing I found is that they could expand on the sizes of suits for those who are not a prefect A cup other then that the service as great as when you walked in the door you had a friendly hello.

The prices here are reasonable for lingerie. Nothing jumped out at me, but they had some great sales on. I saw some cute gifts for people. It was nice to see they carried mens as well. They seem to make their own brand name for a lot of the lines they have here. The swimwear section is nothing to drive the distance for .

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.

Prices: The prices are half decent, but the majority of the clothes are older styles from last season or the season before. Customers: The store is almost always empty when I go, and I've yet to find anyone who's a true Fairweather advocate. Customer Service: The customer service is fair-good. Essentially, they might acknowledge you and ring in your purchase. I'll often just wander into the fitting rooms myself and find my own sizes. Personally, I think it's just a matter of time for Fairweather unless they start to make some serious changes.

Cloths everywhere it seems that there is no order to the store. Prices are good for someone who is starting out and needs to revamp their wardrobe this is a place to hit.

Like Krista stated that some of cloths seems like they are from last season and they are trying to resell them.

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.

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.

So each and every time that I am in the crossing I run it to check the new stock thinking that maybe today they will have my purse for me. Loud music pumps through the store to the point that I almost have a headache before I get to the back of the store to look at the purses. Frantically trying to move through the racks of cloths that are jammed in it like a maze tot he teenagers on their cell phones not paying attention.errrrrr Sometimes when I take my niece shopping and we go to these stores keep in mind she is 11 going on 22 the size large for her it just right. So I am wondering who these stores are actually making these cloths for. She normally see something on the clearance rack that we end up pucrahsing for 50% off but again that is a hit and miss. No purse for me today, maybe next week.

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.
