There were a good amount of back issues I was interested in, but so many weren't bagged and boarded and were definitely beginning to show some shelf wear. The bigger issues, though, is that nothing is clearly organized by series--or even publisher. There had clearly been some attempts to sort things out, but without any major success. It was frustrating to say the least. The owner was nice and happy to talk to you, and his interactions with other customers of varying sorts were very friendly as well. Sadly, there was a very offering radio station playing the whole time I was there detailing 9/11 conspiracies and whether or not Hunter Biden should be in jail. The owner said it was really just 'background noise,' but it sort of started to weird me out a bit. Regardless, i found a few books I wanted and decided to head out. At checkout, I paid with cash and wasn't charged any additional sales tax--which I always appreciate.

I was checking out and the guy had the audacity to say "you know you got the same comic twice right" like DUH!!! I had 2 different variant covers!!! Should not be your business to question what a customer is buying. Maybe he wanted to save it for himself. He was also smoking before I walked in and it seemed like a chore to have to put out the cigarette and walk inside. A shame because it's a nice store with a great modern selection, just piss poor staff.

Their parking lot is always congested, day or night,…read moreand I don't know about the weekends, but would assume the worst case, as we avoid visits here on the weekend. The store is good to have around for its convenient location factor, but we much prefer the Walmart on Rand Road in Mount Prospect as it is cleaner, has a better grade of clientele, and is relatively less congested. The community and clientele in the immediate area here is more in the typical Walmart customer range, meaning more frugal middle class, and that's one big factor that makes it a particularly busy location. Another is it's in a pretty large strip mall with several restaurants and other businesses. We'll come in if there is a particularly good deal on something, or to pick up an online order, or if we just need a little item and we might be passing by at a relatively quiet time. Today, the little items were cake pop sticks and dipping flavors. A-OK on this particular store.

I was disappointed with my experience at Nordstrom in Old Orchard…read more My friend was interested in a fragrance and asked if it would be possible to get a sample. The associate simply told us that they don't provide samples, without any explanation or effort to help. What made the experience worse was the attitude -- it felt rude and dismissive, and there was no apology or customer-focused service. I've visited other Nordstrom locations before and have always had great experiences with polite, professional, and attentive staff. That's why this visit was especially disappointing. Customer service is one of the reasons people choose to shop at Nordstrom, and unfortunately, this location did not meet those expectations. I hope management pays attention to the customer experience and provides additional training to ensure guests feel welcomed and respected.
