Nobody likes getting a shot. But among those of us who still believe real scientists and medical…read moreexperts, we find that vaccines are still the most effective way to stop from dying from a disease that would have quickly, soundlessly wiped us out a hundred years ago. And so it was I found myself at Fred Meyer's on Columbia House Blvd in Vancouver, WA. I needed two shots: an updated Covid booster (yes, it's still a *thing* out there...) and a tetanus shot. (What better way to remember a once-in-a-decade vaccine than to be able to say, "Oh, yeah, the last time I had a tetanus was when the Declaration of Independence had turned 250 years old...") I had the good fortune to be tended to by Pati, a pharmacy tech who's friendly, informative and efficient. I hate shots. But Pati chatted me up, got me to relax, and talked me through each poke like a yoga teacher. ("Take a deep breath... Now let it out slowly...") Pati has probably handled thousands of vaccines in her pharmacy career. I'm glad she was there to give me mine. Made the whole affair quick and painless. Thank you, Pati! Thank you, Fred Meyer Pharmacy. You folks know your business.

They obviously never think to clean their food seating area. Big sign says eat here, but it's so gross. How can they expect anyone to enjoy it? The Starbucks in store has no seating of it's own, either. I have shopped at many Fred Meyers over the last 30 years, but I have never encountered this degree of basic negligence. I will never be back.

I have no idea how they hired 5 people to do nothing concurrently. Impressive. The owner (I think her name was Mary Lee), a large woman with dark hair and long fake eyelashes, was arguing with a customer about a refund, and that was the last straw. I felt like I was in a bad soap opera. I waited to have someone help me or ask if I needed assistance for too long, and got the heck out of there. It felt like I was an inconvenience being there. The clothes were actually cute, I saw many beautiful pieces. The arrogance, unprofessional feeling, the tension in the air.... No thanks. And arguing with a customer, scoffing with the rest of the peanut gallery? Geez! I wonder what they said about me after I left.. The only positive part of my experience: I found the same Dear John flare pants I wanted, online for $92.00, as opposed to the advertised $118.00 at Lily's. You can find them on Zappos or the Dear John website. Overpriced, pretentious, rude, classless.. I'd rather shop back in LA, or online. Word of advice: be kind to customers, or it'll hurt your business. I would have loved to buy from your store, but I'll save the $ and hit Dear John's online shop ;)

The sales person did the measurements in the doorway to main fitting room, not even in a fitting room. After she measured my mom, looking disgusted the whole time, she brought us 5 bras that didn't match the measurements she had just taken. She then proceeded to walk in on my mom as she was changing once she finally got a room to change in - no knock on the door, no "are you ready", nothing, just opened the fitting room. My mom has recently lost a good deal of weight and was hoping to get spend a good deal of money on new bras and we walked out with nothing and we won't be back. Of note - another attendant also walked in on another customer without knocking. Do better.

I am dying to return to keep shopping and I absolutely love my new bra, dress blouse and pants. While shopping and Lane Bryant Cascade' they all treated me like a real person not a number and reduced the amount of stress while I shopped. That's it! No waist of time and I saved more favorites for next time around. Thanks for more delicate embroidered yellow flowers followed by black, patent leather pants. I love it because it's okay for me to show off my curves. Like a hot, bumble bee yellow dress blouse and awesome white new stretch bra. I am really happy that my stomach was tucked nestled solid underneath my stretchy, leather pants that suggested I was confident and dressed to match the shopping mood to be specific.

The cutest beaded summer bag with 2 lemons and bamboo handles caught my attention. Unlike some of the gaudier bags in this style, this particular bag was subtle, with just two lemons on a sand colored, beaded background. it's sophisticated and perfect for an upcoming trip to Italy in the fall, but no way I could wait until them I ripped the tags off in the parking lot and used it that night! My friends, the waitress, and another person at the restaurant complimented it! The bag is unique, stylish, and quite the "find" for $49. The clothing racks were full of many newer spring styles And I spent a lot of time in the dressing room trying on various outfits. So many of them worked, but I had to do a catch and release on a few because I have been buying a lot of clothes lately. I bought a beautiful white boho cropped spring sweater and a pair of wide legged pants, in a fun, beachy print, to go with. Found a two piece set in a light caramel color, perfect to wear in several seasons. The pants are fitted up top, but looser in the legs and paired perfectly with the crocheted knit top in the identical color. This outfit and the purse with lemons are definitely coming on my trip! Also bought a pretty pink athletic jacket and wore it immediately on my walk the next evening. The woman who was managing the dressing room was friendly and super helpful when I needed other sizes. It's such a pain to get dressed and go back out on the floor, so when she offered to bring me a different size, I was so grateful. My only complaint was they had a selection of maxi dresses hung on a low rack so all the bottoms were filthy. I'm not buying anything that is dirty and I'm unsure if it will wash clean. Definitely an area of improvement for the management. They didn't have as many food items as usual, and area I like to peruse for pantry items, but the housewares was completely stocked, as was the bedding and bath area. Lots of fabulous finds! Oh, and I guarded my cart because a friend told me that when she went to use the restroom, her cart went missing and she and the staff never found it. LOL. I Think a worker probably put the items back thinking it was abandoned, but I wasn't taking any chances!

While I was standing in line employees were yelling very loudly because the music was so loud for other employees to look for certain shoes because I guess they were too lazy to go look for them themselves. I will never be back. Horrible experience, only 2 stars for a lady that helped me with a return. She was kind and helpful. Time to hire a new manager who actually has good customer service and asks his employees not to be yelling so close to customers.

Appreciate that they have moved away from just skinny jeans all day, every day. This outlet mall has never been a destination for me like Woodburn Outlet Mall is - Woodburn has 20X the number of stores - but since I am always driving the Hood River to Portland route, it's definitely worth a stop.
