This review is for Santa Arriving By Helicopter in Winston Plaza. A free complimentary Holiday…read moreevent sponsored by Melrose Park inside of Winston Plaza. I missed last years event but was able to attend this year. I arrived a little early so I could get a nice standing spot up front. There were so many people from children to adults waiting on Mr. Claus himself to arrive my Helicopter. There were activities for the kids to enjoy. There was a free hot chocolate stand set up. Face painting, and free activities for kids. If you spent $25 or more purchase from any merchant store at Winston Plaza. You were able to get a free photo with Santa. The kickoff started at noon and Mr. & Mrs. Claus landed safely and in fashion. This was a epic experience for the family.

This plaza has made some improvements over the years but it still looks outdated; All the stores in…read morethis strip mall are accessible through outside doors. One has to drive through a busy street/intersection to get to the other stores within this plaza. This is my con. Winston plaza is located in Melrose Park and has its own street name (1254 Winston Plaza, 60160). http://winston-plaza.com/home Yesterday, there was an outdoor play area and there was a Christmas tree still up. My daughter passed on the play area because there's still snow on it. I felt she was too grown to play on it anyway. Even if she wanted to, it would've entertained her for a few minutes. The play area, in my opinion, is for under 3 years old. Another con. Free concerts and family events are thrown here. According to opentable.com , there's 39 restaurants to dine in around the area. 2 stars because I had to drive around the area to get to certain stores and face weather conditions instead of being indoors for my daughter to roam around and less risk of being sick.

The Target is in the middle of their remodel and will probably be nicer when it's finished. I wish they'd had a larger area for souvenirs. One kiosk isn't enough especially so close to the airport. In the end we got what we needed and had a good lunch.

The floor is split into two separate halves, with seating and table on each side. The staff were all very nice. I had misplaced the summons but the woman behind the counter kindly told me to go to Window 4, where another woman took my information and printed up a new one. There was an orientation video we had to watch and once that was over, we were told we could move to the other side, which I did. Since I was going to be there for a while, I brought my laptop to get some work done. There are vending machines for snacks, drinks and coffee. The whole process for selection was pretty organized as they called folks by groups to the court. In the end I was not called and we were told we could come up and get our checks and leave. As they had us in groups, they were calling us up by group numbers....all done very efficiently After I left, I went down to hang out in the plaza. There is always something going on and sure enough, there was a DJ spinning tunes. It was nice to sit with The Picasso" (Untitled sculpture) and listening to the tunes. For a day of jury duty, this was a good day and I was able to perform my civic duty.

Growing up with four brothers, NO sisters and having my dad in the home EVERYTHING was male dominated. I had NO control over the activities. Sports this, sports that. TV shows included wrestling and boxing. So there was absolutely NO way Mr. Oscar De La Hoya was getting past me without a picture. Wait till my brothers see it. Just think, I was a bit disappointed to hear that a few of my favorite food trucks decided to park near Lollapalooza instead of showing up at Daley Plaza. I still enjoyed myself. My jerk lunch special; all white meat chicken on top of rice and beans, with cabbage, yams and bread, hit the spot in a really good way. I even had two of my girlfriends meet me and ran into a Yelp Elite. So, no complaints.

I walked into the store, and no one greeted me, even though there were only two other customers…read moreinside. There were four employees standing together, talking about the guys they were dating instead of acknowledging customers. They clearly saw me as I walked around the store, but no one offered to help or even said hello. I was planning to purchase a bag, but the lack of customer service made me feel uncomfortable and unwelcome, so I decided not to. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not recommend shopping at this location.

They do have a big inventory it seems, and wife mentioned the prices here are about 1/2 of retail, and can be even better if you catch a promotion. The young sales associate, who has only been there for 2 months, was friendly, engaging, and helpful. It was nice to make a $100+ purchase, as we used it for the first time to validate 3 hours of free parking. Otherwise, we would have left within the hour given the mall's current ridiculous parking rates.

This location in particular treats its workers like slaves. The store director in particular…read moreactively goes out of his way to make your job significantly harder. Especially the Floral department where they expect you to be always working every single second of the day even if there is nothing you can do. Produce is treated like shit. Deli and Meat Market get a bit more respect but when you're treated like shit you're still treated like shit. Home Shopping is dealing with crap left right and center from just about every department up their ass with orders. The hours are a nightmare and they tend to screw you over with your shifts. One day it's like 9am to 5pm the next day it's 3pm to 12am and the next day it's 4am to 12pm. They do nothing about shoplifting or worse people complaining about the prices only for the manager to give them what they want even though they will complain about your sales being too low. You are paid minimum wage with no health insurance or benefits for being overworked like animals and the "exclusive" worker discount are a joke. You don't even get a discount on FUCKING MILK! As a worker do not support this place until they learn to treat their workers better. Not to mention that even with inflation the deals are terrible. Like I believe as of right now there is a sale on chips buy 3 get 2 free (idk my department mostly stays in one place) but the chip bag sizes are a THIRD of what they used to be and the prices are absurd. The meat especially is a joke they are small cuts with huge chunks of fat poorly trimmed and often leak meat juice out of them. The produce is the worst part as everything is either rotting, looks like it's going bad, too small, or even a combination of all three. Want my advice go to Sam's Club and buy your groceries in bulk or even Mariano's since this place is owned by Ebenezer Scrooge.

I also buy gifts to put Christmas gifts beside the Christmas tree. At first I didn't know where I should buy these decorations. It's only recommended by my friend. I was thankful that my friend has a good taste, because I absolutely love the product of this shop. They have a lot of Christmas decor. You can choose among those. The Christmas décor has a good quality. There are a lot of cute designs and they are very unique. It will be perfect to design for my house and I bought it. Their service was good, the ambiance was nice; you will really feel the Christmas vibe because of the background music inside. I will definitely come back again and I will also recommend it to my family.
