Disclaimer: I don't like malls…read more That said, River Hills Mall is pretty good. It's all on one level, so it feels a bit sprawling, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. No heights or vertigo or people throwing stuff (or other people) from balconies is a plus in my strange book. The carousel was a bit disappointing, smaller than I had imagined. Nonetheless, cool that there's a merry go round in a mall, even if I am a little too heavy to ride it. (120 pound weight limit.) Ok, a lot too heavy, gosh! It's fairly stylish and nice to wander around and get some steps in. Maybe you'll find something to buy or eat or a movie to watch. The highlight of our day at the mall, besides walking around to take a break from driving, was ending up the sporting goods store, Scheels, and buying a whole bunch of fudge there. The irony was not lost on me.

We were all very surprised at how much we enjoyed this mall.

Like how embarrassing and rude can you be. This is why Walmart has so many winning lawsuits against them for things like this, because the associates there think they're a goddess and everyone but them are criminals. You know how many times I've seen your employees steal from the company and yall do nothing about it? Absolutely ridiculous. I rate you a zero but it makes me click at least 1 star.

My sister and I were shopping at the Penneys in Mankato today. There was a huge problem with their…read morepricing on racks. We found a cute summer shirt and shorts that were clearly labeled on the rack at one price. When we got to the checkout, we were quoted a significantly higher price for both items. The manager told us it was a sale price from the weekend and we were shopping at 1 pm on Monday. We walked away. I have been a Penneys customer for over 40 years. After today? Probably not. Maybe this is why so many Penney's stores are going out of business. Take the signs off the racks if they are not valid. Very disappointed!

I will not be returning. The vulgar words said are things that are NOT professional in a workplace and not morally correct. People like the manager here disgust me.

His tone and body language was not welcoming. Cassidy is defensive when asked simple questions by me, the customer, can better understand the issue. Now i realize customer service is a pain and i have also worked at fleet farm, in duluth. Least you can do is act professional instead of acting like every single customer is there to ruin your day. You sure ruined mine with your attitude. Had i done either of those things, id have been written up or fired. You do not treat customers in this way. Service was horrid for those two instances. One extremely nice lady who works at a register, very nice. I cannot remember her name, but thank you for your kindness.

The credit card Capital One refused to refund it because Kohl's wouldn't. I gave both the tracking number which showed the shipment was returned to sender.

Today I was told I have to return everything to get my $25 Kohl's cash back. But the purchase is how I earned it so I won't get it back.

It makes shopping so much easier, as there is no waiting in lines just scan your items on your phone and total and leave. I also use the ship to home option also. Even though one of the responders complained about this, I have found no problems so far. This is of the reasons I am shopping at Sam's Club; I was a member at Costco for almost 25 years in that time I had only one return of a product. I had ordered the Kirkland Protein drink which was wrapped in plastic if you picked it up at the store. When they shipped, they just wrapped it further in plastic, no box just plastic. When I received the package several of the paper cartons were crushed and leaking. When I contacted Costco the only recourse they offered was to send out another case of the product. I even offered to return the damaged case for a refund. I asked to have a supervisor contact me, no contact was made. I typically order the Tart Cherry Juice from Sam's Club, they are always double boxed, never had a problem with a crushed box. So yeah, I think Sam's Club is great.
