I don't normally shop at Fred Meyer. It's not conveniently located for me. However, today I was…read moreshopping for a specific product, Green Gobbler drain cleaning and deodorizing sticks. The website said they had them, on aisle 48. So, I drove from my home in Star to this location. First of all, I don't think they have an aisle 48. I looked all over, and I found aisle 47 and aisle 49, but no 48. The drain cleaning products I did find were on aisle 18, and they did not have any Green Gobbler sticks. So, a wasted trip. The website said they were in stock at this location, and I could order them online and pick them up. I don't know where they would be located in the store, but I'm not coming back. Otherwise, the store is big and is kind of like a Wal-Mart or Target.

Generally speaking, i like Fred Meyer stores & I'm sure this location is just fine for your…read moreshopping needs which is why I'm not giving one star, but my recent experience as a salvation army bell ringer here wasn't the most positive. Salvation Army will always have my support. I donate toys during the holiday season every year and this year I've also been showing my support as a Bell ringer. I've really enjoyed it, I want to do this every year & it's nice to see that people have been quite generous with their donations to the kettle. I just wish some of the store's employees were better informed about the protocols with Salvation Army kettles. When I began doing this I had no issues & I was told when hired at my shift time i were to go to the store's customer service desk to retrieve the kettle with stand & then place it wherever side I was told my spot would be for the day, do my assigned shift & then drop the kettle off back at customer service or wherever their designated safe spot in the store would be which to me was pretty common sense. In the state I lived in before, you'd hear about bell ringers just walking off wheather on a break or just having been done for the day & leaving the kettle full of money in plain view & some shady person coming by to take it, breaking into it to steal all the $$- it's not something that'll happen everywhere or all the time but it's something that needs to be kept in mind because sadly it does happen. When I took on the role of a bell ringer I made a vow to be responsible & not let anything happen to the donations to guarantee they will go to the families that need assistance the most during the holiday season.. i commend Walmart stores because they seem to know how it all works, there were no issues there & the process went alot smoother for me. At this Fred Meyer location though, they seem to be clueless or maybe just careless in regards to the charity's donations. I recently did a shift here & when I went to the customer service desk they had no idea where the kettles even were at first... they called others for assistance and then I found out from someone they just left the kettle & stand out by the door on the other side of the store from the last person who did it there before me which had to have been at least the day prior as I did this shift in the morning. I didn't find that to be a smart decision to leave it in that spot ..as I've mentioned before sometimes people have bad intentions but I didn't make a fuss about it and went over & began my shift which was overall great. The kettle had a little $ in it from the day before but didn't seem like much though & by the end of a 2 hour shift bell ringing, I got it filled to the top & many of the donations were whole dollar bills, very little coins.. I had generous donors! I wore a Christmas tree hat & played Christmas music so maybe that helped to spread a little more cheer & generosity! Anyways, fast forward to the end of my shift, I hauled the entire stand & kettle over to customer service & I let them know I was done for the day & that the kettle was completely full & I asked where is their designated spot they would like me to put it... the same customer service employee I dealt with just 2 hours earlier was also clueless about that & again had to call multiple people including supervisors. They came to the desk &told me that they will not be held responsible for the kettles so I can just leave it where I was bell ringing or someone would need to swing by to pick it up. That was not at all what was told to me when hired by a temp agency & it was also different than what I experienced with Walmart just the week prior. I had an important dr appt to get to after my shift 20 minutes away. I tried my best to get a hold of the temp agency who hired me but they didn't respond for a little while & I did not trust just leaving the kettle with the employees at this store... it seemed like they wouldn't care at all if the money was stolen. I mean I know it's not their money but if I had a wonderful charity like salvation army partnering with my store, I'd help protect the donations & not treat them like an after thought! I wasn't about to miss my dr appointment because I needed to be seen immediately in order for my dr to refill my BP meds so since I couldn't get ahold of anyone right away & the employees of this store dismissed me... I know it sounds crazy but i took the whole stand & kettle, loaded it into my car which I'm surprised I actually got it to fit without causing any damage to either, luckily as i was driving off I finally got communication from the agency ..they wanted me to just bring it back into the store at first & try to tuck it into a corner but then let me know if i could drop it off at their office so I delivered it to them for salvation army to retrieve it & went to my dr appt with BP through the roof from all the frustration with this particular Fred Meyer.

This Tuesday Morning is a go-to shopping spot for me. It's a place that takes time. By that, I mean…read moreyou don't want to run in here and expect to find what you need. There is reason to the layout, but like most stores of this ilk, you need to spend a minute to look over the items on the shelves to see what's in stock. The pleasure comes from the seeking and finding, so there needs to be time to do that. Otherwise, things can look jumbled and mismanaged here. Things I like: you can find some really great brands for a decent discount, the baby section can provide good gifts, and it's possible to find foodstuffs from Europe that are hard to find elsewhere. If you're looking for new pillows, they typically have a nice section. Items go on sale after a long while, so don't expect extra discounts on something you spy for months down the road, if it's still there. The store has a bit of a warehouse feel, so don't expect a lot of ambiance. But if you're looking for gifts and need to see something to know you want it, Tuesday Morning is a good hunting ground.

If TJ Maxx Home Goods store is Cinderella then this Boise Tuesday Morning store is the the ugly…read morestep-sister. It feels like one is sometimes playing shopping cart bumper cars in TJ Maxx Home Goods with other shoppers that include local interior designers cruising for good design items at value prices. But it feels like one could shoot a cannon off in the aisles of this Tuesday Morning and about 90% of the time not hit a living thing. That this location of discount, odd lots chain retailer Tuesday Morning is so little shopped is both inexplicable and understandable, all things considered. Not that one might make this a destination but if you're in the neighborhood it might be worth the pop in. THE GOODS There are good buys to be found here IF one knows what one is looking for and looking at for price point and quality. There is not the breadth of items to be found here as a TJ Maxx (a furniture piece or two here as opposed to many furniture options there) nor the depth of options within any given category (as example a handful of large framed mirrors or table lamps here as opposed to dozens of choices for each there). But there are good buys for some things. For example, Tuesday Morning has a contract with high end, luxury linens company Peacock Alley to sell their discontinued lines and colors. Most stores in the Tuesday Morning chain get some of these to sell. Depending on demographics some stores get more or less of these. In the Tuesday Morning in my old stomping ground in Bend (OR) there were typically dozens of Peacock Alley items including sheets, blankets, pillows, duvets and bed covers. This Boise store had but couple of handfuls of Peacock Alley items. But if you're in the market and willing to go back each week to see what might come in. They also have items here you might not find or find as many of at TJ Maxx. For example, they have multiple aisles of children's toys and "stuff". A very little girl today was excited to have found just the right lunchbox as her birthday gift. That children still recognize and use lunchboxes and can get excited over one in a pink princess motif made me smile in light of...well...everything. They also have things like gift bags and wrap, "fat quarters" of fabric (quilting folk will know what those are), scrap booking and craft paper supplies, kitchen tools, area rugs, woven baskets, plant pots, glassware, patio items, coffee table books (very few and you need to know where to look), cookies and candy bars, trays in assorted sizes and materials and different brands of paper wrapped soaps that even if you don't want to use them look and smell lovely(vetiver, anyone?) tucked a glass bowl or assembled on a tray in a bathroom...and the list goes on. Overall the quality of items here seem to trend middl to lower end. THE SERVICE The staff is super friendly and helpful and keep the store in good order and cleanliness. . They greet every customer with "Welcome in to the store!" and always ask at the end if you found all you were looking for. Very nice. THE RESTOCK DAY For this store trucks arrive on Tuesdays and merchandise is moved to floor by Wednesday they tell me. (Bend's staff reported deliveries at least twice a week.) THE MUSIC Seriously. I love the background music mix here. Today I got to sing along (well...almost) to Donovan and had to stop myself dancing along with Average White Band. THIS N THAT: 1) PARKING: Private lot that always has spaces. 2) ACCESSIBILITY: Accessible parking in lot. Level in from walkway through door. All on one level. Ample aisle space to meet ADA clearances makes is easy for all shoppers to have good and equal access. 3) NEIGHBORS: Asian Cuisine, a very good little restaurant, is "around the corner" of this same strip mall.

Friendly, but not overly annoying friendly service which I personally appreciate. Lots of fitting rooms and when I went you could just go and try on your clothes without doing an item count and having to talk to anyone (again I personally appreciate, but some may not). I'm an independent shopper and don't like to be bothered. Selection/variety is good, not great for men. Could be better for women and children, I can't speak to that. They did offer to order online anything they have there not in your size with free shipping so that is good to know. Lots of stuff on sale as you would expect. P.S.I deducted one star because there is no free WiFi and also no public restrooms. These should be standard in 2018 at all business. No excuses there.

Each day has a discounted price. Whatever is in there is that price. Let me backup. Everything, as far as I know, in the Big Box Outlet Store is an Amazon return. Some packages are opened, others are not, and still others are in packaged in a great big Amazon box - Like a mystery box. You have to scan the bar code to see what the price is on Amazon first, and whatever is the price that day, its the price regardless of what its showing on Amazon. So, here's example. I scanned a Nintendo Switch carrying case. Its on Amazon for S17.99, on the day we were there - Saturday, I believe, it was able for $7.00. So, yeah, I'm getting a $10 discount if I want it. I don't have a Nintendo Switch but I was thinking of using this case for was a tech case for traveling. Storing cables, adapters, and portable batteries.
