We made a reservation to take pictures with Santa on Christmas Eve and had the absolute worse…read morecustomer service and experience. We made our reservation for 1:45pm and arrived around 1:20pm. The photographer Amanda asked us what time our appointment was and when we told her she barked back that we were late. Mind you there was another dad in line with his 6month old with a 1:45pm time slot as well. She took him and his pictures. When she returned she asked us again what time our appointment was and we told her 1:45pm she looked past us and asked the next 2 parties behind us their time and they where 1:30pm and 1:15pm. She took them without acknowledging our reservation. When she came back she told us they ran out of time and we couldn't take pictures. She could not explain why she skipped us when we were on time for our reservation. She said to take it up with corporate but would not give us any number or who to contact. She yelled at us and berated us for waiting until Christmas Eve to take pictures. We had 4 small children and the grandparents with us. The kids were crying after her interaction with us. She called security over and we explained the situation to the officer and they told us she would take our pictures when they returned from break. She made us wait over an hour after our reservation to take our pictures. We made sure we were first in line for our pictures and after returning from break she skipped us again and took another party in line behind us. We reminded her that was not what was discussed with security and that she said she would take our picture after they returned. By the time she took our picture the kids were tired and the baby was crying and not cooperating. It hard to not feel discriminated after our interaction with Amanda. She pulled People behind us who were not people of color and when watching her interaction she is not friendly at all. We get it's the holidays and it's busy but that's why we made our reservation and arrived on time because we respect peoples time. But to be mistreated with the children and grandparent with no explanation or apology feels very targeted. Amanda Gallagher the photographer was unprofessional, racist and a horribly incomplete person.

Man, I can't remember the last time I went to Square One Mall... it's definitely been a whileee!…read moreCame here to check out the Gatcha claw machine store and it was seriously like a blast from the past, walking through memory lane inside. Many parts of the mall looked like it was stuck in the early 2000s & it was sad to see how vacant this mall became. There's really not much left here, besides the large TJMaxx, Best Buy, Dick's Sporting Goods, & Macy's. All the stores looked very outdated, with the exception of the TJMaxx... that was the only store that seemed to have all the stuff you would normally find at other locations. Hopefully more stores are on their way & turn this mall around.

What can you say about Northgate Shopping Plaza???…read more Being a Revere Guy, Northgate has always been my go to place for shopping. It was there before all the fancy malls were around. So it has a special place in my heart, or it's just a bad habit acquired over the past 35 years?? Either way Northgate has evolved quite a bit since the 80's. Northgate now houses a lot of stores including 2 supermarkets, a gym, McDonalds, Taco Bell, a few anchor stores and much much more. The parking lot is extremely large with more than enough spots for everyone even on the busiest of shopping days. This is a one stop eat, bank and shop stop. I give Northgate Shopping Plaza a Solid 4 Stars

Upon entering from the mall entrance, I was met with a purple Frankenstein Hello Kitty, which by the way, I've been on the hunt for! I was very close to purchasing it but I noticed it had some flaws, so I didn't end up going home with it. This location has a lot of inventory, noticeably more than many other locations. If only this one wasn't so far out of the way for me, or I would totally come here often. Free parking & sales associates were very kind + sweet!

I only read this and maybe because it's getting all things from different brands but if you have…read morethem all from really nice brands, you get really good things but sadly people break into a lot of stuff because it's so cheap to actually expensive in real life like an $80 thing, but there is only two like that's crazy and they do that here And I don't love it so much because it's just like why are people breaking into the items I know they're cheap but they're like so good if they're not open they're broken that happens a lot. Maybe when you find those things but you find the good things that are like on lockdown TV purses necklaces jewelry you'll really get the best things there because it's cheap, but it's good brand

I think I secretly go to this store because it's owned by a little Chinese family so I can make…read morethem go oooohhh by the white blond girl that can speak Chinese. Little did they know I'm half Chinese heh! This is a fun little ethnic store on Pleasant Street in Malden that reminds me of the underground shops I frequent in China. That's not to say they are selling knockoff''s or B-grades.....but things do look very similar, hmmmmmm. It's one of those random $ store with most items at the $1 range, but of course a few like plants and TV's a little bit more. But in all, it's a fun store to peruse if you are looking to spend a hour doing some random one stop shopping. Gag gift - check, Moth Balls - check, Chinese inspired items - check, check check, sheets - check, toilet paper - check, moth balls - check , black & White TV - Check, Roni * house warming gift spoiler * a bamboo plant - check, cereal - check, suitcases - check, Wrapping paper - check, diapers - check, Belts - check, Chinese New Year Decorations - check, batteries check, lamps - check, shower curtains - check...........1 hour later .............spices - check, random bathroom toiletries - check, laundry soap - check, tools - check, school supplies - check, scrunchies - check, hair product check Oh did I mention everything is some weird sub brand with foreign lettering on it? Who cares! When you are on a budget, a cheap bastard or just want to spend a few hours amazed by the interesting trinkets this is the place for you. You will walk out spending $50 bucks and have 10 bags! * Not to mention, I think there is a 1 review a month quota for the town you reside in, so hopefully this covers it. So why 4 stars instead of 5? IDK it kind of smells a little too much like moth balls at times and I hate that smell. But at the end of the day it's a little Chinese family trying to make an honest living, so I though they deserved a nod. Hehe - and I needed something else to add to my home town list.

No longer a thrift shop for those living on a frugal income and in need. They have also moved to a one-price system such as all sweatshirts $10.99, no matter what brand or condition.

This Macy's is located at the Square One Mall in Saugus just off of Route 1…read more The inside of the store seems a little smaller than the Boston and South Shore Mall locations but I would definitely say they do carry a good variety of clothing, cosmetics and other products. I saw a lot of nice women's blouses and sleepwear and with the Macy's Star Passes that I had with me I was able to score some nice deals. The total amount that I spent was pretty reasonable. Finding a register counter that has someone behind it can be a bit of a challenge here so sometimes I've had to wait a few minutes for an employee to see me wanting to cash out or I have had to look around for another register to complete my purchase. The fitting rooms often have clothes left in them but that is not uncommon at department stores. Next time I'm in the mall I will visit this Macy's store again.
