What happened to the Victoria's Secret experience?…read more Years ago, it felt special. Associates greeted you with a smile, measured you with care, and walked you through the fitting process like a trusted friend. It was personal, empowering and almost like a rite of passage. I walked into an empty store and was completely ignored. No "hello," no offer to help, no fitting support. Just silence. When I asked for a fitting room, it was unlocked without a word. Checkout felt robotic. It used to feel meaningful. Now it feels hollow. Victoria's Secret, we miss the heart you used to have. Please bring the magic back.

As a trans person who is still not very passable, I like to make sure I'm working with people who…read moreare comfortable with me, and are willing to actually consult, not just throw product at me. If you're a Victoria's Secret model, or even just a 'normally' shaped woman, you could pick stuff off of the shelf. But for me, I need someone to see what will and won't work, to take a look at it when I have it on and tell me how it looks, etc, Unfortunately, department stores don't have that kind of service. I search for other lingerie shops, and most of them are porn shops with adult toys. So I figured I would give Victoria's Secret a try, even though I've been disappointed in the past. I called the one at the shops at Southtown, in Sandy Utah. I spoke to a nice woman named Callie, who said anyone in the store would be totally comfortable with an LGBTQ person, but she would be glad to help me. She would be in until four. This was about 10:30 in the morning. So I went to the store around two. As usual, none of the clerks, give me a second glance, in fact they ignore me. When I asked for Callie at the register, I found out that she supposedly called in sick today. Really! Then how had she answered the phone this morning? But the girl at the register said the same thing, that any of the girls would be happy to help me. She said she would be glad to, but she was assigned the restaurant the time. So she called the store manager. The store manager, who had looked right past me when I walked in. Who is a short, obis, not very attractive person, physically, or personality wise. Nonetheless, I thought I'd give her a chance. She showed me one item, shoved me in a fitting room, and close the door on me, and disappeared. The item wasn't even close to what I needed, so I left it in the fitting room and took off. She was nowhere to be found. I will never frequent Victoria's Secret again, and I recommend you make the same commitment. I will pay premium prices for good quality service, and good products. Neither is available here.

There is a great selection and variety. I mostly go for the toys. There is a specific toy that I seek and this is the place to find them. While their toy department is not huge and is just a relatively smaller department within the store, what they do have is quality stuff, things that people actually seek out. Lego sets, RCs, educational children's toys, games, etc. I was pleasantly surprised to see a decent selection of disc golf discs. They even had some of one of my favorite brands, Kastaplast! Either Kastaplast is finally getting some mainstream recognition or Scheels has a good sporting goods manager. Speaking of which, Ashton is a great guy and truly thinks of the customer first and the customer's experience. There were even Zuca disc golf carts there. And they were all on sale. Another aspect to love about Scheels are the things you can do there like mini bowling, shooting arcade, and the Ferris wheel. You can have a date there for cheap! And then go to the cafe for a meal or treats. BTW, the jerky they sell there is excellent! All the employees there are very helpful. In some small ways, Scheels is better than Bass Pro, Cabela's, Sportsman's Warehouse. In this competitive market, small ways is what stands you apart. I really like those other stores, too, but Scheels just feels different. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

It's also possible we no longer have the same numbers of people who actually backpack, and do backcountry activities, and want quality gear. I don't know. I've been coming here for 30+ years. I've spent many thousands of dollars. I don't go much anymore, so the dramatic decline in stock threw me off. For me, it's because I bought the kind of gear in my 20's and 30's that will last forever, and I'm in my 60's now. I have a reason not to do so much backpacking. In the day, the aisles were narrow and the place was filled to overflowing with everything. They had the regular brands, but they had nearly every one of the esoteric, specialty brands too. Today, outside of North Face, nothing in quality sleeping bags. It looks like a place heading out of business. I was there to look for shirts. In the day, they had as much nice outdoor styled clothing as you find total clothing in the big box store. There just wasn't much to choose from today. Walking around you could see the empty walls that held shoes, boots, and similar. I'm so sad. I assume there will always be a market for the car camping gear that Springbar tent owners are going to need. The Springbar tents are great. I don't own one, although I bought both my backpacking and car camping tents there.

Hooray for the local guy!…read more Kirkham's has always been one of my favorite outdoors stops, and there are some pretty compelling reasons why. First of all, they employ people who are passionate about the outdoors and who, generally speaking, know what they are talking about. There's no push for corporate outdoorsness--I've often felt like I was chatting with a buddy when talking things over with their staff. Second, I like the location. Just off of State Street near the 33rd South exit of I-15. Nice. Third, they carry some quality stuff. The lightweight, high-quality, not El Cheapo stuff is their specialty, and they do it well. Lots of it is set up or out for display so you can get a good look at what you're after. The biggest reason I'm a fan is those Springbar tents. If you're not familiar, a Springbar tent is the greatest family/Scout troop/group tent known to man. They're immortal. They're super easy to set up. They weigh about a half a ton, but they're a tent you buy and pass down to your kids. For real. A few other bonus features: they have a decent selection of climbing gear, they have a tent repair area, they have random tent material (seam sealer, no-see-um mesh, tent stakes, etc.) and a nice book and map selection. Also, I dig the dog hiking gear and the clothing sections.

Been looking for a pair of yoga shorts with pockets that don't feel like there's a drawstring cinching your waist because let's be honest you're more likely to work out longer when you're comfortable not when you feel cute. Found a buttery soft pair of shorts that I purchased that have a super comfortable waistband. Just wish they had two side pockets for phone, tiny wallet, keys like the bike shorts I got from another popular brand. Apparently there are pockets in some of the longer hemmed styles but i run warm and prefer shorter shorts to help stay cool

When we go to the checkout line I told my girls they could each pick out a ball from the small bin of balls. I then bent down to look at something on a shelf. I heard an associate very rudely tell my girls that the balls needed to go back in the bin. Not knowing what to say they started to apologize and the associate repeated "balls in bin!" My girls did as requested and walked over to me. I found it extremely rude and unprofessional that the only interaction we had with any one of service was someone scolding my daughters for holding balls that I said I would buy them ‍. The store was nearly empty and I can understand why. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend doing any business with this store, unless you want to have your kids leave crying. .

The sales rep told me they would be 30% off for black Friday and that sale would start on Wednesday the night before thanksgiving. I go into the store on black Friday. I confirmed with the sales associate that the suits were 30% off and proceeded to take measurements and get fitted for four suits. When I go to check out the discount is not present. Sales associate checked with manager and he said there was no sale on the custom suits. I told him I had specifically confirmed the sale on custom suits with two different sales associates on two separate days. Dude could care less and told me to go pound sand in his polite manager way.
