The AE Mall location is a 1000x better than the store out at the Village in Meridian.
With the fate of malls up in the air, because of online crap...I'm scared that we will lose the mall store. Oh, I kinda LOVE American Eagle. Great clothes for guys, amazing workout clothes...which is good for someone who lives in a gym....YUP! I totally just said that about myself, hahahahaha!
Seriously tho, we know they have great stuff in AE.
Reason why I say it's better than the village store is because... the Village store is tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiny! And OH DEAR GOD! it's always so damn busy in there! So you're like a bunch of cattle moving through a tiny store...
It's kinda like how you're moved through one of them GOD AWFUL IKEA stores, hahahaha! IKEA ugh! I know their stores are 5 warehouses in one vs a small AE store, but I'm using thos comparison to describe how CRAMPED the village store is!
Also, the mall store has more product, more clearance items....hahaha, who doesn't love them some discounted AE stuff? Hahahaha! I'm a cheap bitch LMAO! (I really wish Yelp would let us use emojis lol).
The staff at the mall is super sweet and incredibly attentive. I had an issue recently...bought a pair of shorts that I ordered while at THE VILLAGE STORE....lol. Well, she ordered them and whatnot. I ordered the dark gray, medium. She ordered me the XL, with the light gray....this is where an emoji would help lol.
So I was there for a dinner...went and returned them and reordered the other ones.
She put the order in, took my $$$ and two weeks later....STILL. NO. SHORTS.
She never ordered them, hahaha! Whatever, right? Finally REORDERED them...AGAIN...from a SUPER bubbly manager at the mall..wish I could remember her name. She was fantastic. She ordered them and then gave me 15% off for the inconvenience. A discount is a discount, no matter the amount, right? Was just really nice of her to do that for me.
Moral of this long story....GO TO THE MALL LOCATION! it's just better in every aspect. Also, American Eagle....DO NOT EVER CLOSE THE MALL STORE!!!!!! ya know, unless the mall shuts totally down...which Boise mall does pretty good. Always crowded. So maybe there's hope for that place!
Thanks again for reading, Yelper peeps!
