Bargain Hunting Day at Marshalls - Episode 3, the Final Episode!…read more This was our final Marshalls stop of the day--and let me tell you, it couldn't have come soon enough for me. (If you've read my last two Marshalls stores reviews on this day, you'll know my supporting enthusiasm for bargain hunting had reached its limit! :-) That said, even in my bargain-fatigued state, I could see why my significant other was excited about this one. According to her, this Pleasant Hill location had the best selection of the day--and judging by the crowd, plenty of others agreed. It was the busiest of the three stores we visited, and while that meant things were a bit scattered (thanks to customers leaving items everywhere), the merchandise itself was impressive. I spotted a lot of familiar brand names on everything from shoes to clothes to home goods. This store seems like a solid place to find quality items without paying full price. While she was happily exploring, I hung out near the entrance and ended up chatting with a couple of staff members. Even though they were clearly busy, they were still answering questions and helping customers with genuine smiles. It was actually kind of fun to watch. We wrapped up our day with a few more great finds. She was happy--and that's a win in my book.

I suppose some things are better to look at and touch in person before you buy. I've never bought anything of Temu or similar junk eBay knock offs - I think it sets yourself up for disappointment. Here you don't have that and no waiting and no shipping and no porch pirates. Some couches and snoopy stuff - holiday stuff - Valentines day - if you need this kind of thing stop by. Motivation to buy exists too - if you wait it might be gone next week and they don't replace and stock a bunch of the same thing.

Came in with an exchange being needed! One item was a brand of dog treats that I never had tried before! To my surprise...I was told abruptly, that I cannot do that cause the package was opened!!!!! Now....HOW would I know that my dog would or wouldn't like them if I didn't let her try them?? REALLY!!?? Every store that I've ever shopped at takes a "disliked" item back!! if that is NOT possible at this store, a sign should be POSTED, stating the fact that.... "NO RETURNS, IF PACKAGE IS OPENED"!!! At 84yrs blessed, this is the first time I've ever encountered that policy, ANYWHERE!! ‍ Be careful "animal food & treats" shoppers!! NO RETURNS if Opened! Really crazy!!!

See attached promo. I arrived at this location at 8:45 AM. I noticed there were some construction happening. The guy at the door said that they don't open until 9:30 AM. I told him I was here for the VIP 8:30 AM event. He had no idea. He had to bring the manager to talk to me. She apologized and said that they're renovating and closed. Poor management for having construction during a VIP event. I was really upset because I got up early to shop to beat the hot weather. I noticed a few other customers showed up as well. The store didn't have any sign saying that they're doing construction during their VIP event. Shame on management. They need to read their emails from their corporate office.

This experience was disappointing enough that I felt compelled to share it…read more On a Saturday evening around 6:50 p.m., I stopped by Hobby Lobby with my 4-year-old daughter and my elderly mother-in-law. We were preparing for an upcoming funeral, and I needed help with an expensive gold frame I had purchased from Hobby Lobby. One of the corners had separated, and I wanted to know whether the framing department could repair or reinforce it. Because the frame was large and heavy, I left it in my trunk until I confirmed that someone could help. My mother-in-law waited nearby so she could rest while my daughter accompanied me to the framing counter. I approached the employee working in the framing department and asked if he could assist me. His first response was, "I'm off in six minutes - what do you need?" The tone immediately caught me off guard. As I began explaining that the corner of the frame had broken apart and needed reinforcement, he interrupted me and said, "Stop. Just hurry up and tell me what you need." I was surprised because I was simply trying to explain the issue so he could determine whether it was something the framing department could fix. I told him the frame was needed for a funeral and asked if it could be repaired. Instead of addressing my question, he asked why my husband couldn't fix it. I explained that my husband is currently deployed, so he wasn't available to help, and that while I would try to repair it myself if necessary, I also work full-time. His response was simply, "So do I." At that point, it was clear that helping me was not a priority. What made the interaction even more upsetting was that my 4-year-old daughter asked afterward, "Mommy, why was that man so mean? Why didn't he want to help us?" Hearing that from my child was heartbreaking. I told her that maybe he was having a difficult day because I wanted her to understand that we should still try to show kindness to others. I shared my experience with the manager, who told me that this employee often tells others how important it is to be friendly with customers. Unfortunately, that was not reflected in the interaction we experienced. Thankfully, we went to Ace Hardware afterward, where an employee immediately took the time to help us. He recommended reinforcing the frame with small metal corner brackets, nails, and gold spray paint. His advice worked perfectly, and we were able to save the frame in time for the funeral. This review isn't about expecting perfection. Everyone has stressful days. It's about the importance of treating people with basic courtesy and respect, especially when they may already be going through a difficult time. A little kindness can make all the difference. Unfortunately, that was missing from our experience at Hobby Lobby.

Encina Grande is my shopping center. I grew up going to this shopping center. I believe it was…read moreWoolworth back then that had all the penny candies. By my era I believe it was 25 cents for the lemon heads and baked beans. They even had the candy cigarettes which were fun. None of us snakes, but we wanted to look cool so we bought them and puffed out candy smoke. Back then I used to cross stitch and they sold floss for 10 cents a bundle. Now Woolworth is gone, the space had been divided up. There is the expensive bike shop that my parents got their cruisers at. Those things are so heavy and sadly they stopped riding then do they just sit in the living room. They were so expensive that they don't want to just give them away. The Mexican restaurant is a little in the pricy side, but it's good so we eat there sometimes. They have a frozen yogurt place where you can put as many toppings on as you like, but it's charged by the pound so just be careful as it adds up. We usually walk out if there spending $20. Way too much for dessert. My favorite flavor is tart and I love the fresh berries on top. I want to check the chicken place out. They have an advertisement on their window for a salad that looks so good . Chase bank is located here. I believe it's Pet Smart that's in this shopping center. They are huge and have a good variety.
