I've been to all of the Ross stores in Bakersfield, and this one is my favorite out of them all. Every time I come here, I almost always find what I'm looking for in certain categories, like, shirts, sweatshirts, socks, bags, or random household stuff I didn't know I needed until I saw it. Now, is this store the most organized? Nope. Is it always super tidy? Also no. But honestly, that's kind of the fun of it. Shopping here feels like a little treasure hunt--if you're willing to dig through the racks and shelves, you'll probably walk out with some awesome finds at crazy low prices. And that is exactly why I keep coming back. The employees here? Honestly, I don't have much to say--nothing particularly great, but nothing bad either. They're just kind of there, doing their thing, which is fine by me. What I did notice is that they have a lot of security, which makes sense because, well, it's Ross. And they even have self-checkout now, which is awesome and so convenient when you don't feel like waiting in a long line. Just scan your stuff, pay, and go! If you're someone who loves a good deal and doesn't mind sifting through some chaos to find it, this Ross is 100% worth the trip read more

Tired of the inconsistent treatment at this location. I've shopped at this Ross location many times, usually with a coffee or energy drink in hand. Like most people I'm exhausted and trying to get errands done. Never once was it an issue until now. Out of the blue, the security at the door told me I wasn't allowed to have drinks in the store after I finished my drink and asked where the trash can was. The security accused me of "sneaking" in a drink when she was busy greeting other customers. Nawh, I just walked in with my drink in hand and visibly drinking. Not my problem she was so into her gossip that she wasn't paying attention. No signs posted, no prior warning, and zero explanation. Just a random policy being enforced with no consistency. It felt more like being targeted for someone's inability to do their job than an actual rule. If this is a real policy, then why hasn't it ever been mentioned before? Why isn't it posted? Why is it selectively enforced? I'm not walking around with a Big Gulp -- it's just a coffee like any other tired adult running errands. And during the summer, it's a bottle of water. Yeah, I do this all the time. And it's Bakersfield. Did they want me to have a stroke walking from the parking lot to the store? There are many other places to shop at with better service and clearer communication for me to waste time here again. The deals aren't worth the energy anymore. And the selection isn't even good at this location. read more

I know I have reviewed this store before. I am not sure what happened to my review. The store was actually not as cluttered as it usually is. I didn't find anything for my project, but I did find a really cute outfit for my granddaughter. This store always made me angry due to the long lines and lots of closed check stands. They have opened self check out at this location and it made things go quickly. 1-27-24 read more

Tonight, Tuesday, January 13th, at approximately 9:30 p.m., a young security guard and store employee behaved in a manner that was blatantly racist and unprofessional. After I completed a large purchase, the employee requested to rescan all of my items as I was leaving. I cooperated without issue. During this process, both the employee and the security guard began laughing and mocking my wife, who is eight months pregnant. I felt like we were targeted because of our skin color. read more

I went to this Ross today because it's usually my favorite one to go to and I must say it was super stocked up with a lot of Valentine's Day stuff that was all very cute. I shopped for baby clothes and some dog toys as well, the selection was very nice and really good pricing. However, the reason for my review today was the service. The girl that helped us check out on register 5 was super sweet, she kept a fun conversation going with us and made our visit 10x better! I didn't catch her name but she had black hair with bangs and a braided ponytail, she was wearing a holiday sweater and holiday earrings. She definitely deserves employee of the month, if she isn't already! Thank you for your great service! read more

Cute house stuff but lowkey I saw a rat when I was shopping last time multiple ppl seen that rat

Store is definitely sexist was in the store for a while and seen the lady with dark hair in the back fitting rooms letting females into the restroom no problem i asked very nicely if i coulr use it aswell and she stated no then as i was walking aways she states theyre out of service. Like why let others use it and not me? Because im a man? read more

Went in a couple days ago with my starbucks ( I always enter with a beverage as I shop) I barley stepped one foot in when a very rude Security lady ( dark complexion and gray hair, in her 50's) rudely yells at me " NO FOOD OR WATER IN STORE, I understand that this might be their rule but the way she told me was so rude of her and made me feel embarrassed, shame on this security!! read more

I love this Ross. Great parking, friendly staff, awesome selection and prices, and I always find something to bring home! So why not give stars? Because it always feels messy and dirty in there. read more

Was shitty. I pay and one my items did not have a price, but I seen they had more items that where the same. They where 9.99 but they wanted to charge me 15.99 I wouldn't mine paying if it was that price. They said if I wanted that item I had to go get the item, I am sorry I don't work for you guys to go get price check. So they said other you go get it or they will match a price that is not. I work customers service we are short handed many times but I am sorry we are not rude, so it would be like me saying go make your own food because I am short handed. You have people standing around doing nothing literally and you said you have no people to get price check. Now their customer service suck. Made me mad you are not busy and you expect me to do your job. The whole customer service need to be better. read more

Worse than Walmart! If you use the self checkout the cashier scans the first item and then you finish and pay. I only had one item and she had me scan it and lay on my own. The security guard watched me, and then still stopped me so he could mark my receipt. WTF. He saw me pay for my single item and take the receipt, but still wanted to hassle me. read more

I love Ross! I have a 9 month old that just keeps growing or needed new things. They have brand names that save you tons of money. I recommend this store to any mom kids. They simply have all their needs. read more

I don't mind this Ross at all. This location and the Rosedale one have been my favorite. I feel like even though the line is usually long it goes by fairly quickly and the cashiers are pretty quick. I also think this Ross and the Rosedale Ross have the best selection of items. I love that Theres always tons of parking here too. read more

Abbigail, Anna, and Tesly (I believe were the names) are absolutely rude and aggressive! If this is who you have as the face of your company, Ross in its entirety should be ashamed! They very clearly hate their jobs and should not be in a customer service position. read more

I like this Ross, it's well kept and the associates are quite nice. The female security at the entrance does a wonderful job of welcoming you with a smile instead of making you feel suspect just for entering, lol! Also, I was in the dressing room I had 18 items and can only take 8 at a time. During my second swap out of clothes the attendant Maria said to let her know and she'll hand me the swap out so I don't have to keep struggling. She didn't have to do that, but she was a kind person and I appreciate her! read more

Never experienced this in my life not even when I lived in Watts (Los Angeles ) While using self checkout Security (Caucasian/Hispanic dude didn't even get a chance to see him good , Stands Right near you and sees you scan and pay all your items and still has the the nervous to ask you for your receipt while a few inches away from you while paying which I find it really disturbing. why have self check out and still have a security in that area checking receipt while the other customers that check out with cashiers don't get asked for receipt at all makes you look stupid and people around just stare to see that's embarrassing especially when you are with your Family read more

So I stopped by to check out this Ross at the SW location and Ross is Ross. You either love the place or you don't. I for one love a bargain and I do not mind shopping at Ross if the price was right and if something caught my attention. The store is pretty clean compared to other Ross's in town which I found was a plus. The store seemed bigger than the other locations too. I normally come in just to browse and see if I can purchase something for my home, but for some reason... I always walk out w something for the kids. I'm a pet owner and I noticed a section with a good amount of toys and things for your pets and I liked it. I found my pup a gigantic snake which would normally run about $20 at petco and I got it for $8.99 here, so that to me was fabulous. Ross has more clothing selections for females, but clothing prices for either sex is usually pretty great in price. This Ross is definitely a 3.5 in my eyes. read more

Ross Dress for Less - Department Stores Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Customer service is terrible I bought sumthing broken from them and they would not take it back wasted my money never coming back....

Went in to encounter this elderly man discussing some issues with another lady right in front and middle of the store. I don't know what was going on exactly but there's no need for that, be professional and take it to the back. It's no ones business to be listening. Anyway I went along my way towards the back to look at baby items. As I was walking the same elderly man swung open the door super fast and nearly hit me. Mind you, I am 6 months pregnant and he literally almost hit my stomach. Did he say anything?! No he didn't even look, cared, and my friend said he rolled his eyes. He kept talking with another associate and walked away. How rude to not even say I'm sorry or something. :( I found out he is the store manager and his name is DAYTON MILBRATH. I'll go ahead and notify the district manager Christi of this incident as well. read more

Great bargains if you can get through the mess. For some reason these stores are usually understaffed so the shelves and racks are beyond disarray. Maybe some people like that but I am not one of them. This one is no exception. read more

I personally like this location! It's is much cleaner than the Ming store and more selection then the California store. The one in Rosedale is nice, but too far from my home for me to be a regular. I like that the from security always greets us and I've seen them often cleaning the front area of the store so that it looks clean. The staff is helpful and nice. We have purchased some good deals here! *the only reason that it isn't a 5, is because it isn't completely spotless, but what store is always picture perfect?! read more

I have been to this location a few times. I seem to be in the minority but have had good customer service. I understand why they need it but the security guard always greats customers as they walk in and when I have checked out the cashiers have always asked if I found what I was looking for. Maybe I just got lucky. The woman in the back near the dressing room, Diana, was extremely nice and didn't give my son any trouble when he asked to use the restroom. While I do agree that this location does seem to be a little meager in some sections I have always found what I was looking for. read more

Wow DENISE, could you have been more of a bi*tch?! As I stood there getting checked out, I had to watch as you treat your employees like a bossy two-shoes, barking orders with a bad attitude and smacking sass with that big wad of gum in your mouth. And then, you had the nerve to pull that snooty with me. If you don't want to work or do your job, there are plenty of others who will; service with a smile. On top of all that, this Ross is bare. Has been since opening day. Mmmmyea, no thanks. read more

Wow Devaian or how ever you spell it said she was the assistant store manager. First let me say I bought 2 of the same item, decided I didn't like or need said 2 items. Receipts has 2 of the same said items. And they hold my husband up trying to return items WHILE THEY CHECK THE SECURITY TAPE! Are you kidding me. I will never step foot in that store again! And I'm filing a complaint with corporate. I don't know what is up with Bakersfield and the stores here but they are all rude, people have a serious chip on their shoulders here! read more

You really need to search for a bargain but if you can find one...it's a good day. Pretty much hit or miss if you find that treasure. If you do, you better scoop it up because it won't be there next time. Unfortunately, this location is always super messy. I do not like how the checkout line can be 10 people deep and it takes them forever to get another clerk. Just today two people got tired of waiting and left...but not me! I stayed for the treasure I found! read more

If I could give them a zero star I would some of the staff are nice and willing to help but who ever was the Mexican manager on March 9th was absolutely rude and acted like she didn't have a care In the world. Sad because I shopped here almost every weekend not anymore. read more

This place is crazy- all the aisles are trash- you can hardly get a basket through it! Who is cleaning??? Terrible !

The security guard there is RUDE. Young kid, non professional. No manners. He needs to learn how to talk to customers. He wanted to act like I was stupid and couldn't read the sign. read more

I use to work here for 3 weeks and am happy to say I'm no longer there. DAYTON MILBRATH is the WORST boss I've ever had the displeasure of working for. He needs to be removed from his position IMMEDIATELY. He is demeaning, yells at you infront of customers, and withholds money from checks. I can honestly say I have never wanted to fight a boss more than him and would've quit infront of his face throwing my badge at him, but I'm more professional than him and wouldn't do that infront of customers. Save your money and self respect and shop at the Ross on Ming or Rosedale. read more

I feel like at every Ross I've been to the customer service is bad. Especially the cashier registers, they don't even acknowledge me, smile, ask me how things went. It's just poor customer service. I rarely go, but when I do it's always the same, it doesn't matter which one it is. And they are all a mess. Just because it's a barges store doesn't mean it should look a hot mess. I'm used to seeing Ross stores messy, it's the customer service that gets to me. read more

Worst experience I've ever had at a Ross, and that's my go to store. There was very little selection at all. The employees were very rude! Especially the cashier Alondra who had an ugly attitude that matched her appearance. Won't return to this location. Do yourself a favor and go to the Rosedale or even the California location. They have more to offer and employees aren't completely garbage. read more

Would leave 0 stars if I could. Loooooooong lines 1 cashier EVERY time. Very little selection and very disappointing. Left my items behind for a 3rd and final time because the line was wrapped around, one cashier and slow. read more

Loved this location, loved the cleanliness, the nice employees, the selection of items was good....just a little disappointed their jewelry counter is lacking. Look forward to going back! read more

I shop at Ross all the time! Although, on Tuesday August 28, 2018. Me and my mom went shopping we bought some stuff and then we are short on cash. My mom went home 3 minutes away, to get it! (Yes, go into buy a few things, and end up with more.) Anyways, she brought the money and handed it to, at the door to purchase the items. We went to pay for our things over $140 worth of things and my mom was sitting behind me, because her legs get sore, as we all know the lines are so long! Well, were going to pay for our items, and I called my mom over to use her senior discount 10% a great deal. So, I handed the clerk the cash! And she shook her head! "Oh, I can't take that?" She said, "why not?" I asked, "well, you gave her the money?" She said. I live with my mom, we share an account what's the big deal, if she saw our ID's we live together! What's the deal? "Well check you camera she handed me the money by the door!" We were offended and We left everything on the counter. We told the lady "we are not buying anything from you!" It was rude, and uncalled for! It was my mom's money, in my purse! What's the deal? We were nice and respectful! You can check your camera's! I love Ross but the way she looked at us, is as if we were using her own money to purchase these things! No one buy things for your parents, it's against the law! Even if we didn't live together, what's the deal? Even if it was my money, what the deal! The senior is approved of lending me her discount! read more

Like the two previous reviews it is really EMPTY!! And the cashiers are way too preoccupied with cleaning and talking to each other to help the customer. I've been in here twice and nearly walked out if it weren't for the fact that I was returning something. read more

I was so excited for this to open and what a disappointment. The parking lot, entry, and inside were equally littered with trash. Inside the store had candy wrappers, half empty water bottle, and dirt all over the store. This was soon after it opened for the day, so it didn't seem like it was cleaned from the night before. The store itself was low on inventory. I thought it would be giving Kohls a run for its money, but not likely. read more

I don't usually shop Ross due to the jumbled mess of clothes, but today walking in, I really appreciated how clean, organized, and maintained the store was. It was quiet, everyone was super friendly, and professional. I will continue to shop this particular store for the great deals, customer service, and cleanliness of this store. I especially appreciated the customer service of Deshell and Ausencio, even asking for their names so I could write this review. Excellent workers. Great Customer service is rare in Bakersfield, so it was wonderful to see it in action. read more

Love, Love, Love this Ross store! Super clean. Never a scattered mess (like the one on Ming ave) Very polite employees! read more
