Went to the new long anticipated Rural King in town this weekend. Once in the store I was…read moreconfronted with a notice that the store is charging all customers an additional 1% charge (some call it's tax. Others call it theft) for themselves to develop this and future stores. So now when we buy something at Rural King, we not only pay a price on goods which includes operating expenses, and company profit, but we get charged extra to pay for some future non existent store at some unknown location which may or may not ever open and that we will never shop in. No thanks. I left without making a purchase and don't plan to return as long as they steal from their customers.

Rural King is usually a great store in Clearfield, PA but recently visited the new Rural King in…read moreAltoona, PA and was really disapointed! I was looking for a pair of Ariat boots and found several pair marked as on sale for $29.91! At checkout I bought other things but the price of the boots came up as over $100.00! I asked for the manager and when she came over she told me that the prices on ALL THE BOOTS in the store was WRONG! She could not give me the boots for the advertised price. When I got home I followed up and talked to another manager and he said something was not right about the way I was treated and agreed to help me out. That was about 2 weeks ago and after talking to him several times, he promised me to make things right. As of today, two weeks later nothing had been done! I even emailed Corporate and they never replied! Not a good experience. They don't seem to care about either their customers or the accuracy of their boot prices!

I am not sure if that is because of the influx of employees due to the holidays approaching, but it made for a pleasant experience in shopping. The thing I like about a Ross is that I always end up with something that I didn't know I had a need for. Then when I get home I question myself as to why I bought it. However, I do end up using the item, months down the road.

Ahhh... Ross. When I was younger, I couldn't tell you the difference between TJ Maxx and Ross,…read moreother than my mom didn't care for Ross. Older and wiser, I understand. Ross is a decent chain of discount stores full of clothing and home decor, although the overall inventory isn't as nice as comparable chains. Sometimes I'll find the same item that I found at TJ for a higher price at Ross, and sometimes I'll find brands I can't find at Marshall's for a super low price at Ross, but it's pretty rare. I have yet to find a Ross that's "better" or "worse" than any other Ross, so if you've been to one, you can come to this one knowing what to expect. The inventory doesn't seem to change very often, so I wouldn't go out of my way to frequent this location.

I don't often have to make returns to Amazon but when I do, I was hoping the process would be easy. I also was thinking how nice I can return my Amazon products to Kohl's and maybe take a look around a real store and buy something for Christmas. Instead of being treated like a guest, I was practically dismissed by one of the most insensitive and disingenuous retail worker imaginable! The lady behind the customer service counter had her back turned for practically two minutes before she acknowledged me grudgingly said, may I help you? In a tone indicator, her attitude was not to help me at all. I put my package on the counter and said I would like to return this please and she said well you're not gonna do that here! That's a UPS tag. We don't do that here. I said well what if I take the tag off it's only loosely Taped. She said if you want to return to Kohl's you need a Kohl's tag. You will have to go home and re-print one out. I'm thinking, oh my mistake, but she did not offer a solution that could've kept me as a customer in her store. This lady's in her 50s with long blonde turning grey hair and glasses and Suffers from an superiority complex She made a mistake by taking a job at a place where she has contempt for working with the public She wasn't busy, there were no customers behind me but she did not offer to print a new tag out for me so that I could shop at Kohl's. She even laughed at my error. I don't need you and your disgraceful customer service, Kohls YOU need me and customers like me who are willing to go out of their way to visit your store! YOU need to treat customers in a respectful Courteous, helpful manner!

I would say it is similarly priced, and I think it could be all targets but I find their merchandise pretty expensive. Sometimes the shoes will have deals that make me happy.

You know what I mean, there are none of those faux walls that shrink the floor space. With that, they also seem to have a great selection of items that you would not find at other businesses like this. I ended up grabbing myself two hoodies that have become my favorite pieces. Even though we are moving into warmer temperatures. I will still sport those, you can't pass up a good hoody. Clothing aside, they do offer a wide array of other items. However those are the items that you need to pick through. I wish that it would be a constant mix of items, but these seem to be the items that go faster than the clothing. The biggest hold up here, was checking out. Because it is newer in the area and a newer store setup lots of people definitely shop here, so if there are not a lot of cashiers, the line is going to be longer and that equates to longer wait times.

Especially in this area, and maybe even this plaza. This location literally opened up next door to a competitor. In a plaza that has seen a lot of change over the years. I will say this, being next door to a competitor they had the better selection. Not sure whether it was because they recently opened or they just have better selection. Went through the store and browsed a bit. I wasn't in here for anything in particular so I made my way slowly through the aisles. They had items that I wanted, but didn't really need at that time. If I was heading home I would have considered, but I was on my way to a long road trip. The flow of the store was just quicker, everything ran smoothly. I was able I make my way back up front to head out. I will be honest, I did not purchase anything here, but if I am in the area again, I will stop by.

Anyway, not much has changed here other than the plain white remodel that every Walmart seems to be getting at this point. Not that this place didn't need it with it catching on fire a few years ago. Bit hard finding things as I expected. I have a hard time trying to understand why different stores have different layouts. Keep it simple, especially if you have so many stores. I used the photo printing while I was here. It was OK, but you could have let me pay at the self print kiosk instead of printing it and then having to stand in line.

Each person answering the phone was ruder than the last. Wherever these calls are sent to, they are answered by very annoyed clerks who obviously do NOT want to be bothered. I thought I could call the local Penneys store and be transferred to the photo studio. That never happened. It is obvious that the company does NOT want to be bothered by customers. If they don't need the business from this branch of the store, then why not just discontinue it. Penneys photography is owned by Lifetouch and I wonder if that know how potential customers are treated. There are some nice people in other departments of the Altoona store, but what is this abuse I experienced from trying to reach the photo studio department? I found another studio, called them, was treated wonderfully and the appountment is made. JC Penneys could have had that business, but instead, they treated me with rudeness and total disregard.
