The last time I asked for help, the girl I had asked, did the absolute minimum in effort to actually assist my needs (which was simply to be pointed in the right direction for an item I knew they carried). Luckily, when you approach them, majority of the time the service is up to par *Store cleanliness - very good! *Fast service at registers - very good as well! *Store organization - relatively easy to find what you're looking for, not super cluttered/completely different items in multiple sections of the store. *Welcoming - Was greeted at the door/within 5 seconds of walking in. *4 stars because they lack in fantastic customer service /customer care.

So, I am zooming in to a seminar tonight on "the chocolate regimen" hosted by ale Chocolat du Bouchard in Illinois. I have been craving chocolate since I signed up for this event...they are in Illinois and I am in El Paso Texas so I needed some good chocolate for tonight to enjoy while I watch the presentation. The operative word here is good chocolate- not left over Halloween candy, but the kind of thing you would eat if you were royalty. And so, being a Princess in my mind I opted for some truffles from this Hallmark store that is the closest one to me. I called them to see if the were open with current new restrictions. The lady who answered the phone (Pat) said they were not allowing customers into the store but you could place a phone order and they will bring what you want to your car when you arrive!!! It does not get any better than this!

So I need a final gift for a late Christmas get together and I was ordering online but as I'm doling the search I saw it was in stock and available at the local B&N at The Fountains so I think HEY! I'll just go get it now! It's about 2:30. Well I haven't graced their doors in Years! So as you walk in there is a "help desk" and I think hey ask them, it's better than wandering around for 20 minutes searching for that section. So I go up to the desk and ask the lady where the Bible's are and she says follow me ... and I do. And of course it's like Going to Costco for a Rotisserie Chicken... they are all the way in the back. Good move using the help desk. Because I'd have thought the most famous book ever in print would be closer to the front but I was wrong. I thanked the lady an began to peruse the section for the one or one like what I wanted ... I found 2-3 I wanted to sit down and compare... there was a one chair at the end of that book stack. So I did sit a minute and go thru some pages the I remembered seeing another one on the shelf I wanted to see if it had red lettering .. so I got up and went to get it and came back to the chair and now a lady was sitting in it, playing games on her phone. So I'm standing there with 3 books looking for a chair.. I wander around, all thru the kids area, all thru several other stack of books and sections, no chairs period. It appears the Bible section chair is the ONLY chair in the back of the place... as you go back forward I found just 2 more chairs, occupied. Back in the day, years ago when I was a semi regular at B&N, there were chairs everywhere! At the ends of all the stacks. There was even a lot of chairs in the children's area for reading circles. Today I saw People on walkers and canes trying to shop, who I bet would have appreciated a lowly CHAIR to sit in and read a paragraph or two, to decide if they wanted to buy the book or not... that's what it used to be about at B&N, reading... and getting SA book to take home... oh sure you could TRY to hobble all the way BACK to the front of the mammoth store to the Starbucks cafe and sit there but it's full of teens laughing and giggling & drinking free water and head some adult readers but the on is the tables are all full and it's noisy boisterous, with coffee machines bubbling and spewing. And all you want is nice semi quiet place to sit and look at the book a few moments, without having someone steal it so they can sit and play telephone games. So anyway, I make my choice and move to the front to pay and leave.... There are, I counted 17 people in line to check out. One cashier. Now the help desk has 5 ladies. But not the checkout. 4 days after Christmas. When people are making exchanges, cashing in gift cards and Barnes Bucks or whatever they are called that kids save up for every time they buy books... or toys they earn points they can cash in, if they can find their account or card for new toys or books... you learn a lot of this by over hearing as you stand in line for 40 MINUTES waiting to simply buy the one book you chose and LEAVE. After the 30 minute mark my back went into spasms. I can't a tan for long periods of time, I should not be standing in a line this long just to buy a Bible at the bookstore with 5 cash registers 4 days after Christmas. Finally at this point one of the help desk ladies comes over be cause the line BEHIND ME now is like 17 waiting as well, and I progressed about 8 thru. Things pick up now and move twice as fast with two cashiers. At the 40 minute mark I finally get to the counter JUST as Second Lady from the help desk also comes over and opens a 3rd register. I tell my cashier NO. I don't have a B&N card, no, I don't want one or to join any club, I just want to pay for my purchase and GO. And that it's RIDICULOUS you have people standing in this line for 40 minutes! I pay and take my Bible and leave. It took me all of 2 MINUTES for my transaction. If you have and expect exchanges & Returns , you need a separate area for that thru the first of January. Not at the checkout lane. It's too time consuming and inhibits other customers from simply completing their shopping trip, paying and leaving. And why at 2:30 with 17 people in a congested line do you only have ONE CASHIER 4 days after Christmas?? School is still out, people are still off from many jobs, it's a SUNDAY, the store is what I would call FULL. ‍‍ One Star for the lady at the help desk who took me all the way back to the Bible's section.

Cute gift shop! I've heard of it over the years but hadn't stopped by. I visited Manjar next door…read moreto buy some cupcakes. I decided to check out Vanities after I was finished at Manjar. Several of their greeting cards caught my eye through the window. I was looking to purchase a greeting card for a family friend's 70th birthday. This family friend has been through so much heartache over the past few months. She unfortunately lost two close family members to Covid recently. She and other immediate family members survived it. She's been through a lot more but this is only some of it. Her daughter asked for friends and family to send her a birthday card. I happily agreed to it. I wanted to find a nice birthday card to make her special day a little bit brighter. I had a hard time deciding which card to pick because there's a really nice selection here. I checked out some of the other items for sale. I decided to only purchase the card. I sent her another gift in addition to the card. Aside from greeting cards, Vanities also offers beautiful jewelry, home decor, beauty items and lots more. They have a wide selection of Pandora bracelets and charms. They have a variety of other name brand items as well. This is a nice place to consider if you're looking for a unique and special gift...especially for your mom, grandma, wife, a close friend, etc. The staff was kind and accommodating. They were wearing masks and require guests to do so as well. Support local! :)

I was trying to explain the kind of robe he always wanted and with their experience of customer's preferences in bathrobe material for men, they explained to get the Terry robe rather than what i thought should have been the plush robe. And they even had a sample in store to know exactly what youre getting! It was just so great to know just how amazing and perfect this gift is gonna be! All thanks to their help. On top of that, if you catch them on a good day, they have a special to buy one get one 50% off!! So guess who scored an awesome bathrobe??? This girl!!
