The general organization of the store is neat and makes for a very easy shopping experience. The aisles are kept clean and stocked fully, especially important during the pandemic. Although there are sometimes shortages with the higher demand pandemic items, a restock within a few days is a guarentee. Their COVID response is a pillar of their care for their customers. They have an hour for higher risk shoppers. The self checkouts are sanitized after each customer uses them. The carts and hand held baskets are also sanitized. Upon entering the store you are politely greeted by an employee who checks the number of people in the store and enforces the mask policy. On one occasion, I witnessed the staff enforcing their mask policy. The customer was swiftly taken care of, reducing the risk for themself and the other shoppers. This Target takes the pandemic seriously, something to be greatly appreciated. The customer service is excellent and attentive. The atmosphere of the Target varies on the time of day. On some occasions, there is no music playing, making for an eerie experience. But overall, this store makes for a great shopping experience.

So I walked in expecting one thing...and left wondering why I hadn't shopped here years ago. The store was clean, organized, and packed with recognizable name brands at prices that honestly made me do a double take. Every aisle seemed to have another great find, and instead of feeling like I was on an episode of Storage Wars, I actually enjoyed browsing. The employees were genuinely friendly, smiled, and seemed happy to help. That alone sets Ollie's apart from a lot of retailers these days. And I have to give a shout-out to whoever curates the music. Instead of the usual elevator soundtrack that makes you wonder if time has stopped, it actually made shopping enjoyable. Then I found out they have a 30-day return policy. That completely caught me off guard. I honestly can't remember the last bargain or closeout store I visited that confidently said, "If it doesn't work out, bring it back." Great prices are one thing, but standing behind what you sell says a lot about a company. The biggest surprise wasn't how much money I saved--it was how much confidence I had shopping there. Ollie's doesn't feel like a place that's just trying to move leftover inventory. It feels like a company that genuinely wants customers to come back. Needless to say, they earned a new customer. I can already tell this won't be my last trip.

Hitting up these shops has always been a must when I've traveled in Japan. Some of the ones there are several stories tall so I expected something similar to the Daiso's I've visited in California with a really trimmed down selection. I find that at least for this one in Oswego that the number of products available was a lot more than I thought it'd be especially with the added plus of their more expensive but still bargain-priced Standard product line. This was happily surprising even though it totally wrecked my plans of just popping in to grab a couple of little things to add to my neices' Easter baskets. The trip ended up turning into a familiar situation of finding myself slowly idling through every aisle to be sure I noted everything that was available. Suddenly many of the little things I had to leave behind in Tokyo were once again at my fingertips and I didn't have to worry about overfilling a suitcase. Two brimming bags and $40 later I made it out of what I'm sure was just the first of many random trips to these new Chicagoland Daisos.

I ended up buying all sorts of goodies. I asked, and was told that the stores carry different stock based on local demand. In this case, they are close to College of DuPage, and carry items needed in classes there. I saw everything I normally see in Schaumburg, and more. Maybe less framing, but then I don't go to an art SUPPLY store for frames. Compared to the Schaumburg store, they carry a very good selection of pottery tools and glazes. Like a whole aisle full! Since I am taking pottery, this was a very fortuitous stop. I found the staff very helpful. When I had a technical question about a glaze, they tracked down someone who could answer my question.

We were first stopped just inside the door by one friendly associate who welcomed/greeted us and recited a long menu of store specials and their back to school sale, and if we need help she's right over there at the counter for us. We were like, ok, got it, thanks! I knew what I needed and just wanted to see the colors I was buying in person, so I start shopping. Less than a minute later here's another associate, another WELCOME here's ALL our sales and our BACK TO SCHOOL SALE and if you need ANYTHING we're right over HERE by the counter! Okay, I said, thank you, that's great. I smiled and again I tried to start shopping. Another thirty seconds and here's another associate who gives me, AGAIN, the welcome/sales sales sales/we're over HERE by the cash register if you need anything! (Where ELSE am I going to go look for assistance? The deli next door at Whole Foods?) Unable to concentrate on selecting my paints, I went to give my husband the three things I had managed to pick up and was stopped by another associate who gave us both the same sales speech AGAIN. It was as though the entire shift was actively preventing me from finding the materials I was there, cash in pocket, struggling to buy. Yes, I did start getting terse and snippy when I was just repeatedly approached with the very same canned spam sales pitch by multiple ridiculously aggressive associates, because it was incredibly annoying. Maybe they thought I was shoplifting? One associate who had already given us the sales speech and apparently taken offense at my manner then approached me when I was by myself (of course) still trying to look at the Goldens. In a voice dripping with contempt, they slowly and deliberately gave me the same speech yet again. That's not creepy or confrontational, is it. Refusing to make eye contact with them, I squinted at the tube in my hands and said again, great, thanks, got it. We were in the store for maybe five minutes, seriously, for all of that. The contemptuous confrontational person came to the door while I was outside waiting for my husband, and stood with phone in hand, watching me with a little smile, seemingly texting. So on top of all that I'm sure I'm the new Karen on some sad social media site somewhere. And then we drove to the Schaumburg Blick, which is awesome with associates who are allowed to speak normally to customers and let them shop, and I bought all the rest of my paint there.

I walked in not really looking for anything in particular... and ended up finding something cool for my boyfriend and brother/sister-in-law. BUT. First of all I was greeted by a guy with dreadlocks when I walked in-- who had his mouth full of food. I understand sometimes timing isn't ideal, but he continued to have a conversation with me despite the fact that I was getting a disgusting show of the inside of his mouth. I quickly excused myself from that and said, "just browsing." Now as I'm walking around the store, I am distracted by a woman having a very LOUD conversation with an employee (who I later found out was the manager). Not only was this woman talking at an inappropriately loud volume, she was also talking about rather inappropriate things. I don't know if she worked there, but she was bashing people openly and just overall being a total ass hole. The manager woman just continued conversing with her as if it was no big deal. I finally picked up my items and went to the register to fill out paperwork and check out. The guy with the dreads got me started on paperwork for engraving. As I was filling out the sheet (and mind you, it is pretty quick), two other customers came in and the guy with the dreads moved on to greet them. They had a lot of questions which he was answering, but after I filled out my 30 second paper, I was standing there waiting for the next step. So the manager is standing there having a personal conversation about 2 feet away, the dread guy is helping a customer, and another guy was just walking in circles in the back of the store... while I stand there twiddling my thumbs. About 30 seconds before I'm about to walk out, the dreadlock guy comes back and takes care of me. There is more to this story, but I think you get the jist. I have worked customer service before and basically the idea (especially around Christmas time) is to help customers. And the manager is supposed to delegate tasks. On the other hand, the products turned out beautifully, so that is the reason for my 1 star rating. However, I don't normally like to support businesses that have shitty customer service- no matter how good their product is.
