Epiphany has been my favorite store for the 4 years I've lived in Athens. Every time my mom comes…read moreup we make sure it's on our list of places to go. The ambiance is amazing and the layout and decorations are constantly changing, giving it a new feeling every time. However, I went in yesterday and I was so disappointed that out of all the workers, only one was wearing a mask (and she was wearing it below her chin, so not even wearing it). Even the owner's daughter was not wearing one. Athens has a mask mandate, and in the midst of COVID it was EXTREMELY disappointing to see Epiphany not taking the health of both their workers and customers seriously. I'm not going to take stars off because I want people to support this local business, but I hope the owners see this and make a mask mandate inside their store. I know for me personally I will not be back in until masks are required for employees.

This little gem sits in downtown Monroe and if you are looking to shop or dine you have options as well. We recommend you stop in and give them a visit.

And like almost all of the registers were closed. And their was no one there I knocked on the door that is only for employees. No one answered. I looked all over the store. And no one was their. We waited 20 mins just to not even see any employees. So we just ended up going to the card only.

Located in a large strip mall area so it's easy to locate. Easy access off the perimeter roadway with exit right at the mall.

I would have to buy a product (spending more money) to even remove the stain. It's just a level of customer service that should be given in these inconvenient moments especially after spending $129 on items that were not damaged. What made it twice as frustrating is the fact he kept emphasizing that he was a coordinator and they don't give discounts for stains. I've been shopping at Marshals for years and they always offered a 10% discount on damaged or stained items. He suggested that I purchase the item at full price and wash it then return it if the stain didn't come out. I'm disgusted by the service I received.

Tanger Outlets Commerce - Where Reviewers Are Many, But Enforcement Is... Selective…read more As someone who reviews shopping centers often--on both Yelp and Google--I've come to expect a certain level of consistency, especially from a well-established outlet brand like Tanger. Usually, sharing photos and feedback is welcomed. Encouraged, even. At Tanger Locust Grove, I posted a review with photos and was personally thanked by the owner. But at Tanger Commerce, I discovered something quite different. While taking a few standard photos during my visit (like I've done at dozens of malls - some with almost 100k views), I was approached by a security guard, followed from across the complex from Nike to Marshall's, photographed, and informed that photography is prohibited unless I had a press or media pass. When I identified myself as a reviewer, hoping for some clarity or even conversation, I was met with suspicion and stone-faced enforcement. My boss makes me enforce this rule I was told - leaving me wondering who his boss is, as from the owners replies to other posts it clearly isn't them. Here's where it really gets confusing: a multitude of other reviewers--on both Yelp and Google--have uploaded photos of storefronts, interiors, signage, merchandise, and even selfies at this very location. Entire photo carousels exist, ranging from fashion displays to food court visits, without a whisper of consequence. One reviewer even uploaded 14 photos on Google and was publicly thanked by management for their "great review" and "wonderful experience." only a month ago. So I ask: if photos are truly not allowed here, why is enforcement only aimed at some of us? Why the inconsistency? And more importantly--where are the signs? None were visible. No policy posted. Just a sudden switch from shopping to being surveilled. Reviewers, take note: If you're documenting your experience, know that Commerce enforces its "rules" selectively. You may be ignored like the 50 reviewers before you--or you may get followed, photographed, and reminded you're not welcome to record your visit. P.S. - I'm not being paid for my reviews, nor do I have anything to gain from this. I just enjoy helping people find great places to spend their time and hard-earned money. But this place? This wasn't it and recommend it I do not.
