My senior citizen mom bought a pare of pants yesterday with the senior discount of $1.80 off her…read morepants. She got home and realized they were missing a button. She was able to come back today the next day (wednesday) and she just wanted to exchange then for the same pants that didn't have a missing button. They refused to exchange them and charged her the $1.80 and told her since it isn't senior Tuesday today that there was nothing they could do. There is always something you can do. I don't think that's right. My mom is on a fixed income and doesn't buy things for herself often. Sure it's only $1.80 but my mom was clearly upset about it and $1.80 makes a difference for some people.

I have since returned multiple times and it is somehow even cuter in person! They have so many unique goodies whether shopping for a gift or yourself: prints and other artwork, stationary, ceramics (including such cute mugs), art supplies (indigenous handmade paints!), bath and body items (Wato soap, yes please!), housewares, treats, adorable accessories and clothing, etc. Many items are local, too! They are always really friendly and nice in the shop, and it's just such a pleasure to wander. I honestly think my mom, sisters, and I nearly spent an hour there. If you can, time it so you can check out the Sunday Astoria Farmers market while there. Parking is not great as it's right in the middle of downtown Astoria, but that's just the nature of the beast, and worth it!

As others note, its very loosely organized. Theres groceries. Hardware. Kitchen. Kids. Lots of yard chemicals. And tons of random stuff. Take care with the grocery stuff, alot of it is past its ''best by" date. Doesnt mean its bad, just not best :) Some cheap, no-name brand hardware. I did some comparison shopping on a few kitchen gadgets, didnt find any 'deals', at least for me. Clerks seemed friendly and helpful.

I am SHOOK to read these other reviews! I absolutely adored my visit to Garbo's…read more OK, yes this place is overstuffed and chaotic. But there are some TREASURES hidden amongst the chaos, and I had a blast digging through. I also found the store owner to be a delight. The whole thing had a "playing in your very cool grandma's attic" vibe and I am HERE! FOR! IT! I was with a friend and he surprised me by purchasing a jacket from this store that I in love with but couldn't really afford. Now I'm living my Brokeback Fringe Fantasy, and it's all think to Garbo's. Yeah the prices seemed kinda high, but when somebody else is buying that's basically the same as free, right??? I could have spent hours here, giggling with my friend while playing dress up. I'd probably end up broke, but that's fashion, baby.

Well, you could *feel* the owner "looking us both up and down" and concluded that we must be out-of-town visitors with more money than sense. She quoted a price about twice that of the garment when new. When we declined and headed toward the door, she said "I can do better!" Conclusion: interesting place to browse, but save your money and buy elsewhere.

They wont allow you to 'fix' while in line, you have to go stand in a long line with one overworked customer svc person, and its a major hassle, especially if you're popsicles are thawing. I am an astute shopper - I'm expert on using their app, clipping their coupons, reading the ads before I shop, etc., and to boot I worked grocery early in my long career. These were genuine errors. We've had to endure a near year-long revamp of the store, its nearly finished, and I've yet to to see ANYWHERE any improvement in the experience. Its mind boggling how much money they spent to achieve NOTHING. When I was a checker, they came out with the most efficient way to process items; customer puts product on belt, the employee scans it and puts it right in the shopping bag. Boom, handled once! Super efficient! A few years ago some idiot with no clue how checkstands operate came up with the bright idea of having the checker scan it, put it on another belt, where another employee bags it. Handled TWICE. And this store NEVER has 1:1 checker/bagger. Today there were FIVE checkers, and ONE bagger. Fred Meyer continues its increasing abuse of plastic. Too many instances to write here.
