I haven't been inside, but they like nice spots to take a break. Generally, no one bothers you as you browse unless you ask for help. I've found it a bit hard to get help on the makeup counters, with some counters being unmanned. I do feel like the staff odd a bit snobbish. Not so much when I am well dressed and carrying a Chanel bag, but when I was running in to grab something quick and dressed in sweats. Just a general feeling rather than at specific counters. So I do feel somewhat self conscious shopping here. There's an unseen dress code of sorts. Overall, clean, lots of space and easy experience.

A tan or brown dress shirt, a tan or brown baseball cap, maybe some black jeans. Easy, right? Nada!…read more First, the neat stacks of jeans and other merchandise looked good, but their arrangement had nothing to do with sizes. Many items were only available in small or larger sizes. Yes, I could try on something that doesn't fit and have them order the right size on line. But then why have a store? Pleasant staff cannot make up for poor buyers and limited stock.

Let me first start by saying that Devon could sell snow to an Eskimo; he knows his stuff and Taylor is just extremely helpful and always goes the extra mile. I came in there one day before my trip to LA and they literally put me together. They gave me four different looks with shoes and jewelry. I told them what I was shopping for and they had maybe 12 different outfits for me to choose for from waiting in the dressing room. They made me feel like a celebrity LOL. I was so happy by the time I left and I just want to say thank you.

I walked into Akira as a first time customer in a bit of a panic after being told by my fiancé this morning that his huge holiday party at work is THE DAY AFTER TOMORROW. Ugh. Right upon walking in I was greeted by Shaina who asked me if I needed help finding anything.. And oh boy I needed help! She was sweet, attentive and overall wonderful. She brought me dress after dress and really listened to my feedback until we narrowed it down to 3 different dresses (all of which I ended up purchasing)- one of them was unavailable in this store in my size. Shaina quickly tracked down the last one in a size small for me in a store nearby and had them hold it for me. I was so happy bc I'm love with the dress! I ended up staying and shopping for over TWO HOURS haha and when Shaina had to leave to visit another store another amazing employee, Sparkle, took over for her and helped me find a bunch of other pieces that I really love! She listened to me explain my style and what I was looking for and brought me items that were exactly my style as well as some that were a little different and I'm so happy she did bc I got some beautiful items that I never would have tried on if she hadn't suggested them. Thank you, Sparkle! Then when I was checking out, Vanessa the cashier had the patience of a saint as I went through my 20+ items and she made sure that I got all of my discounts with their awesome buy one get one 50% off sale. I was all over the place and my dog kept jumping out of my bag but she (as well as all the other employees) were so sweet and accommodating. In closing, I just want to say that the fantastic employees at this store really made my shopping experience so much easier and ultimately successful bc they were so warm, welcoming and they are really just GREAT at their job. Thank you so much, guys! You'll be seeing me (& my puppy who absolutely loves all of you) again really soon! I highly recommend stopping by this store to shop for ANYTHING! It's the best!

I signed up for att service through Target. I was told I would get statement credits for paying the activation fees up front, discounted lines and reimbursement for the payoff of my devices (turns out it was only for my phone not my tablet). In the form of a visa gift card. Went online and submitted the information for the reward in the form of a screen shot because I didn't get paper statements. They declined to reimburse because they didn't like the submission format. So I had to call my old provider and sit on the line for an hour and request a paper statement by mail. Once I received it, I went back to their submission site and it kept telling me I could not submit because I had already submitted. I replied to their email, there was no response. So I called. Turned out I needed to go to an alternative website to submit. The person on the phone was really nice and walked me through the resubmission process where I uploaded all 5 pages of my bill. This was all still within their 60 day required time frame. After I submitted the page said to wait 6-8 weeks to get my card. The other day I realized I had not gotten my visa gift card. So I went into my email to search for information and there was no record of anything. I call in and ask what's up and after 2 phones calls, 4 employees, 1 manager and a hour and 15 minutes of my time they tell me I'm SOL because their system failed. That there is NO ONE, that can make this right. Even if there was no record, how would I know i had to go to a special website for resubmission of my firms unless I had actually done it? Furthermore, the reimbursement of the activation fees only came after I called them back and reminded them. If I wasn't paying attention they would I shorted me that. So I was supposed to get $150 back for paying off my phone and they now refused. This stinks like a scam to me. I do not recommend switching. Oh yes, when I asked to talk to someone higher up I was told there was no one else higher up to talk to me. What a shame.

I stopped here with a friend on a whim on a Tuesday. The signs outside said everything was $2, but…read morewhen we got inside, we were so excited to find out it was 25 cents instead! I'm not sure if that was a one day ordeal or if that's the new regular price on Tuesdays. Everything's thrown into large wooden bins, so I recommend wearing some gloves, just because some items may be broken and the bins in general get dirty fast. Likewise, if you don't tolerate dust well, this is not the shop for you. Most of the stock during our visit was holiday stock from department stores (mainly Walmart) that never sold. We were able to find some good finds though! This shop is definitely worth the visit if you're around the area and have some time to kill to dig.

If you hit it just right you can find some great buys. The…read moreproblem we have is the crabby female employee. She seems like the unhappiest of people. Don't ask a simple question or you will get eye rolls and smirks. When she fills the bins for their friday sales she puts shopping carts around the new merch. Well if you have never been here before and you dont know her rules she will take your head off if you move her blockades. We have witnessed her being rude to elderly as well. She also smokes right in the outside doorway so if you are sensitive to the smell hold your breath and run inside. The gentleman who generally run the cash register are quite friendly. Not sure why they keep her around.

They have it all, somewhere, but it will likely take you 20 minutes to find it. And the checkout lines can be epic on the weekends. Still, where else are you going to go for your craft needs? That's right - there aren't many other places to buy glitter paint, knitting yarn, bedazzling supplies, fake flowers and acres of ribbons under the same roof. So you're stuck. One thing that makes the generally "meh" Michaels experience better is the regular coupons in the weekend papers meaning you can score some good deals. I always forget mine until I'm in the parking lot in desperate need of some supplies.

I'm going to be honest, I wasn't sure I'd like this place as much as I did. Located in kind of a…read morefancy shopping center in Brookfield, the Von Maur complex of shops is... a little pretentious for my taste. However, this was the closest location for LL Bean so I gave it a shot. This store is much larger than I expected, but the staff were very kind and helpful. I had never been to an LL Bean before so it was a tad overwhelming trying to find the exact pants I was searching for on my own. I was thankful for the help, and also for not judging me based on my size. As a bigger gal, these kind of outfitters are not always friendly to the plus sized crowd. However, the gentleman assured me that whatever wasn't available in my size or color preference in store could be ordered as long as it's in stock. The clothes are a little pricier than what I'm used to. I rarely buy clothes, but when I do it's on sale at a big box store so I know I'm not always getting quality stuff. I will say that everything I tried on actually fit well so shopping here wasn't the usual painful experience for me. I found the pants I was looking for, tried on a variety of others just to make sure I liked the ones I wanted, and was happy with my decision and overall experience. Honestly, I might go back to get a sweater that I fell in love with but don't really need. But it was sooooo soft and comfortable. I'm not what I would consider the typical customer for LL Bean, but I'm no longer counting it out as a place to find the right sporty gear that I know won't be available to me at REI and other outfitters.
