DSW usually gets all my money without much effort, but this visit was disappointing. The shoe…read moreselection was fantastic (as always), but customer service could use a little polishing. I asked if an online promotion could be honored in-store, and while I completely understand if store policy says no, the interaction felt dismissive, especially after watching another customer receive a discount from a different associate just a few feet away. Hopefully this was just an off day and Dori gets a quick refresher on customer service, because DSW is usually one of my favorite places to shop. The shoes were a 10/10... the checkout experience, not so much.

This store isn't it for me…read more They have a LOT of shoes, but it's just kind of junky inside. There's never any employees to help you. I spent over an hour in there last week and didnt see a single employee on the floor. They have a very large selection, and lots of sizes on the floor, but seem to be very limited in wide sizing. I would have asked about it had I seen someone. They don't have the little protective footies anywhere that I saw either. One thing thats nice is they do have a nice selection of fancy handbags and purses. So if you're looking for one of those, this is a decent place to try and find one.

Target is lot like most other big box sotres that sell clothes, homegoods, and groceries…read more Employees are ok and will help when asked. This particular location has a large self checkout area next to the regular checkout lanes (most of which are closed and not manned). There is also a large covered car drive uyp pickup area. Inside, there is a Starbucks, an eyeglass store, and a small self checkout market that sells snacks and drinks. This partilcular store has a large grocery and bakery section which offer decent selection. One issue is that the shelves are sometimes not stocked well so you'll run into issues there occasionally. We generally leverage this Target to do pickup orders since its convenient to order on the app and pickup in the drive up area. One thing that still bothewrs me about that is there isn't an easy way to check your purchase before you leave. I've only run into an issue once and Target addressed it, but I guess it's part of the cost of convenience. Overall, outside of spending too much money at Target, I can't say too much good or bad. It fills our needs and will probably fill yours too.

When making a return at Target customer service, I interacted with associate, Lesa, and handed her…read moremy receipt. She asked if the total was $35. I specifically asked her to confirm the amount on the receipt she was holding, and she told me it was correct. After she processed the return, I asked for the original receipt she did not give back to me and noticed the refund was short by $5. Instead of clarifying, she insisted the entire purchase had been refunded, but she couldn't explain the missing $5. When I reminded her that I had asked her to verify the receipt total, she denied saying it was $35 and instead claimed she asked if I wanted the refund back on my card -- which was not true. At that point, she walked away and called a manager without even explaining the issue to them. The manager arrived, and I had to re-explain everything myself. Not only did the manager fail to acknowledge the situation or apologize for the misinformation, but she also questioned my reason for a return-- which was irrelevant. It felt dismissive, as though I was wasting her time, rather than her focusing on solving the refund discrepancy. So unless it's self check out, not recommending this store or the people who work there.

Stein Mart is a discount clothing store located in the same plaza as Publix (Hi Brett) and First…read moreWatch, Nothing Bundt Cakes and Moe's. The store is clean and is basically divided into halves with men's clothes/items one side and women's clothes on the other with shoes, bedding towards the rear. I have visited this branch more often with my mom since the one in Tampa Palms City Plaza closed down. Since I am a single heterosexual man, I can not clam to be a clothing maestro. However, they have a wide selection of brand names and regular brands and many of the items look nice and are in good condition compared to Ross which always looks like a Category 3 hurricane swept through there. Last Christmas, my cousin from Canada came with me and she was awestruck by the prices and quality. They have those "MK- (Mortal Kombat purses) for prices in the $175-200 range.I believe those are usually in the $250 range. While the men's section does have a good range of products, they don't get me excited as much as items from JC Penney and Kohl's. So I usually find a spot to kill time while others shop. The lines are very long sometimes on weekends, but the cashiers are usually nice. If you want to open a Stein Mart card, the application is long and they send you a plethora of emails. FYI. If you're a woman, increase the rating to 4/5.

I had a very disappointing experience at this Daiso location…read more After we finished shopping, a store employee/manager accused one of my children of opening the packaging on multiple squishy toys. We have three young children (ages 1, 3, and 6), and they have always been taught to purchase before opening any items. They do not open merchandise to take or steal it. I told the manager that if they could show me video footage proving one of my children opened the packages, I would gladly pay for the damaged items. Instead, I was told that "corporate called" and identified our children, but they refused to show any video or explain which child they were referring to. They continued to accuse us without providing any evidence. They also was unsure if it was our kids did it or not as they confirmed there were opened item before my kids walk pass the aisle. Being accused of something like this, especially involving young children, was upsetting and embarrassing. If a store is going to make such a serious accusation, they should be willing to support it with clear evidence instead of expecting customers to accept it without question. My 3 and 6 years old said they did saw the opened items, but they did not opened it. I hope Daiso reviews how situations like this are handled. Customers deserve to be treated with respect, and accusations should be based on facts, not assumptions.

Unfortunately Sam Walton's (the founder) vision and mission has been diluted! The stores especially…read morethis one has lost Mr. Walton's DNA. He was known for his vision of providing low prices and great customer service. Some of this lack of customer service has also spilled over to Sam's club stores. Their blue vests shouldn't say "how may I help you" It could actually say "don't bother me because I don't know"... or buy some of their responses "I don't care". People are willing to pay more genuine customer service. Every four to five months I pop in and it's worst then the time before. Today's cashier could not speak English when he was asked a basic question on stores return policy. Some use an app that the customer has to speak into in order to communicate with their personnel. Their team seems to be working in a survival chaotic environment and their frustration spills over rudely to their customers.

Nerys has exceptional knowledge of fragrances and a remarkable ability to understand what her customers are looking for. She took the time to explain the differences between several perfumes, their notes, longevity, and overall character, making it easy for me to choose the right ones. Her professionalism, patience, and genuine passion for helping customers made the entire shopping experience enjoyable and stress-free. Because of her expertise and honest recommendations, I confidently purchased three perfumes, and I'm extremely happy with every one of them. Outstanding customer service like this is hard to find. If you're shopping for fragrances at Dillard's in Citrus Park Mall, do yourself a favor and ask for Nerys Medina. She is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and a true asset to the Dillard's team. I will definitely be returning for my future fragrance purchases.

The store seems tailored to young preteen girls with items such as; lip balm, emoji pillows, girly towels, rugs, Instagram-worthy floats, and phone cases. That being said, they have something for everyone! The store focuses on trendy items and featured many Summer items. The store had lots of toys and even some clothing available as well. What did I buy? I bought: a pack of stickers ($1), powder that turns your bath into goo and then back into water with a different powder ($5), candy, gift bags ($2 for 4), and incense sticks (mix and match, $1 for 5), and decorative duct tape ($4). Overall, this store was super cool and I will be back! I hope to see more home decor items there soon. This place would be awesome to bring kids!

Not to mention, I'm standing at the register with a toddler who is already set on getting this skeleton, and she still wouldn't honor the $5 price. So wild!! At this point, just go to Walmart. Apparently they're cheaper now.
