The staff go way above and beyond when offering help with general questions about items and target circle. They even walked me how to redeem my rewards I could'nt use before. That said, I did have one weird experience. I was in their optical department getting an eye exam. The lady checking me in seem to have a nasty attitude from the get go. Well, after the initial tests, they told me to wait for about 20 minutes. After more then 20 minutes have passed, me and my wife were ready to leave. Well, the same lady that checked us in snapped at both me and my wife to stay put. Honestly, I was scared of her short temper at that point. But other than that, it is definitly an amazing store, and worthy of the 4 star rating!! Keep up the amazing work!!

Nearly two weeks ago, I wanted to visit a diner on Grand Avenue in Saint Paul. On Google Maps, it…read moresaid that it was open till 4 pm on a Thursday. I got there at 2 pm and it was closed. So much for that visit. I drove along Grand Avenue to check out what was around the area. I saw Paper Source. It reminded me of a store in Winnipeg that I used to frequent. It was called The Paper Gallery. I loved it so much. If you are the type who loves stationery, greeting cards, pens, pencils, and more, you'd love this store. Paper Source gave me the same vibes. I turned around and parked on the street. It was free parking. Great! I walked into the store. My instincts were correct. The store had pens, pencils, greeting cards, and a lot of gift ideas. In short, I was in heaven! A post-Christmas sale greeted me. I saw ornaments, cards, and more all discounted. I did see the cutest felt penguin that was on sale, but the price after the sale didn't justify my getting it. I loved the pen section. From cute dog pens, to fountain ones, there was a pen for everyone. I ended up getting a disposable fountain pen. It writes well and it's the perfect size to carry in a small purse. Yet, it's the right size to write with if you have big hands. The plushies were adorable and deadly. I saw everything from avocados, to tacos. I loved the cookbooks. I wanted them all. I liked the one dedicated to soup. There were also book titles that made me crack up. If you can't think of anything to get someone as a gift, I'm pretty sure that you can find something in this store. I saw satin pillow cases, drinkware, candles, Spirograph, and more. If you're into sending cards, you can get extremely fancy by getting inkpads and stamps. I was into stamping in high school. It was nice to see how stamping has improved, but is still the same, if that makes any sense. I ended up also getting a sticky note dispenser in the shape of a typewriter. I have always loved typewriters, so I had to get it. I waited for a staffer to come to the payment area. She was pleasant and was helping another customer. I am a patient person who was not in a rush this day, so I was good. She came over and was extremely apologetic. She rang my items through her payment system. She then asked me whether I was a Paper Source, or Barnes and Noble rewards member. She uttered such magical words. I was the latter. It felt like Christmas. She let me know that my membership got me 10% off everything at the Paper Source. She also said that yearly, I get a premium tote for free. It's funny how I had eyed this tote when I first walked in. She showed me the pockets and keychain hook inside the bag that sold me. I loved it so much because the canvas thickness was perfect and it felt soft to the touch. I actually used this bag as my personal item on my flights home because it was more spacious than my purse and I could bring back more goodies! I paid with a credit card. I tapped and my transaction was done. She asked if I wanted my items in the bag. I said yes. I thanked this woman. She wished me a great day. I reciprocated and left with my new bag and goodies. I had a fun experience here. It's great when your original plans don't pan out, but you find a new store that you end up loving. (26)

There is such a huge opportunity to create a fun experience that you can't wait to get there and see what's new and exciting. If I could find their paper products else where I'd choose that. Yes I could shop online but I choose to give my money to local businesses.... Not sure it's going to be here though. Ugh!

TJ Maxx is in a mall structure. Kohl's, across from TJ Maxx, is a part of the plaza style. It's different. There are quite a number of stores that I have yet to visit. I finally got around to visiting Starbucks. Traffic is one-way in that parking lot. Most folks don't care, though! I am still relatively new to this area. I would like to visit the Applebee's, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond the next time that I am shopping here. There is plenty of parking. I tend to park in the middle of the parking lot when I visit Kohl's and TJ Maxx. I just walk over without moving my car. I like this place. It has stores that I frequent and I tend to find good deals. I then treat myself to a drink at Starbucks and my day is completed. (7)
