Each time we come here the store seems spotless and well run. Kudos to the management. My wife purchased two pair of shoes and really enjoyed the service! Now...let's talk about those prices.

I recently visited Dillard's to buy shoes for my 4-year-old, and unfortunately, it was one of the…read moremost frustrating retail experiences I've had in years. I don't typically shop in-person, but I had this idea that we might get help with sizing and understanding of the difference between the brands if we went in-person. Maybe there was SOME reason to still make the hike out to a box store, as opposed to buying on Amazon. Well, after waiting 20-30 minutes, trying on the display shoes, no staff in sight, and my 4-year-old begging to leave - I had no choice but to help myself.... In hindsight, yes, I should have just left and taken my business elsewhere, but my son already picked out a toy...so, I was pretty set on getting him shoes, a toy, and heading out. Anyway, after trying on all of the display shoes that I could find, I finally went into the back to grab several pairs of shoes so I could start fitting my child/hopefully complete my purchase. I was balancing six or seven boxes and organizing them for my son to start trying on when two staff arrived. I was finally asked if I needed help. Ha! I said that yeah I really did need help, but I had everything I needed at the moment. So, then, one member got a real stern voice and serious look on her face to tell me customers were NOT allowed in the back room. Like I was in the wrong or did something wrong - In front of my child. I said I wasn't sure if anyone was working the area, or if it had turned into a self-serve option. (Everything else has). I explained I had been waiting for almost half an hour, and I just wanted to try on some shoes. The staff member then told me that they had not been off the floor THAT long. Again, in front of my child. Like - why are you arguing with me about the amount of time I was waiting without help?? A simple, 'I'm so sorry for the wait--let me help you from now on though, because I'm the one that should be getting things from the back FOR you' would have resolved everything. Instead, the staff chose to reprimand me, argue over irrelevant details like how long they were gone from their post (you think I WANT to go do your job), and generally make me feel extremely awkward and unwelcome. To make matters worse, they stood off to the side glaring at me as I juggled putting shoes on my kid AND putting ones that didn't work back into their boxes. Wouldn't it have been helpful to assist me in that moment? Wouldn't it be great to say, "Hey, I'm sorry we got off on the wrong foot there at first...but, can I help a mom out by putting these shoes away for you if they don't work?" For reference, I purchased $130 worth of shoes and toys from the store that day and had intended to buy multiple pairs of shoes if anyone had been proactive in helping. But, honestly, it was easier to just go to Belk.

Because I'm sensitive to fragrances and can develop migraines from exposure, spending extended time shopping in stores with perfume counters can be challenging. Jason was incredibly understanding, patient, and attentive. He made the return process easy and treated me with genuine kindness. I even offered to help put the dresses back on hangers, and he simply smiled and said, "No problem, it gives me something to do." That small moment really showed his positive attitude and willingness to help. Thank you, Jason, for making my experience at Belk such a pleasant one. Excellent customer service like this deserves to be recognized!

Mike…read moreJones and his Father, Ray started Mike's Merchandise as an offshoot of their family machine shop business with most of the items they sell coming from inventory reduction auctions. The machine shop and retail store shared a Guntersville space until it became a little awkward when Sak's lingerie, women's dresses, and footwear (2$-3$ each) shared the same space with greasy tools and machines. Eventually, they opened the first retail store in Guntersville and now (and have for a good while) have stores in Huntsville, Decatur, Montgomery, Muscle Shoals, and Auburn. Yeah, there is a lot of stuff in a MM!! Books, yearbooks and bestsellers, sports fan related items (think Blue Jays themed socks), nuts, bolts, uniforms, stationery, school supplies, sports equipment, picture frames, Bubba Gump glasses, barrettes, office desks, grills, nuts, bolts, tools, flashlights, live orchids - you get it. It's a bargain hunter's paradise if you don't have ADHD and can focus on getting only what you are looking for. Interestingly enough, they don't always know what is in some of the boxes they bid on at auction and once ended up with F-16 fighter jet parts that required Pentagon permission to sell. (They sold nearly all the parts, too!) Like their website says, after visiting the Guntersville and Huntsville stores, I did find myself saying, as many MM shoppers do, "I'll bet that would come in handy, if I just knew what it was for." :)

One store that I was hoping would be there was Macy's, but alas not. But still come on by and check the place out.

My wife and I have been Costco members for 30 years. We would not have stayed customers for so long…read moreif we had complaints about the store itself. The Huntsville store is great and the vast majority of the people that work there are helpful, with the exception of one manager by the name of Stanley. The most rude, entitled person I've ever had to deal with at any business. As long time executive members, we spend about $1000 a month at Costco and this clown accused us of trying to steal from his store. My wife needed to buy a new piece of luggage due to a unexpected business trip the very next day. Turns out her existing luggage was too big per the new airline rules. When we got to the store, there was only one piece of luggage left to buy. The box was open and it had obviously been returned by someone and put back on the shelf. We pulled it out of the box to check it and saw obvious scratches and scuffs on the luggage surface and wheels. We didn't think we should pay full price for already used and somewhat damaged goods so we asked for a manager. After several minutes of waiting, we got Stanley. We showed Stanley the damage and asked if he could take something off of the price. Stanley then laughed at us, and completely out of nowhere, accused us of damaging the product ourselves so we could get a discount. We tried to convince Stanley otherwise but he was not having it while continuing to accuse us of what could be considered criminal activity. Dumbfounded and livid at this point, we debated about what to do and ultimately we chose to buy it at full price as we needed it for early the next morning. We were treated like criminals which is something we have never felt at Costco. Stanley happened to be at the exit as the person checked our receipt. He looked right at us and laughed at us as we walked out of the store. I called a different manager the next day, explained what happened, and he refunded us half of the price we paid. We weren't even asking for half but this guy was a real manager, apologized for Stanley, and fixed the problem for us. Regardless, we are still livid about the whole situation. Stanley needs to be let go immediately. He's completely unprofessional and is a liability to your location.

I entered through the Car Center door and proceeded to look for what I was looking for with negative results. I attempted to exit via the same way and was informed by customers waiting in the automotive bull pen, that there is no one working at the counter and that I had to exit from the front of the store... as no one was available to push the button so I could get out. I asked who process new care repair orders, oil changes, etc... and was informed that they do it in the bay... Strange at best. As I was walking towards the garden exit in an attempt to rapidly exit stage left, I asked what turned out to be a surly female employee where I could find bug spray for tomato plants? Her response without even looking at me; "over there pointing down the aisle." Really, could you please provide a bit more fidelity? If you're so unhappy working at WalMart on a Sunday afternoon, on a three day weekend you should have paid more attention in school or learned a trade. All in all this place is a DUMP and hell will freeze over before I set foot in it again.
