I had a very disappointing experience at my favorite HomeGoods located in McDonough Georgia, 1990 Jonesboro Road, McDonough, GA 30253. I visited this location around 11:00 a.m. My daughter and I have been frequent customers over the past few weeks as she redecorates her home. We have been delighted with the selection and quality of merchandise at HomeGoods, making it our first choice for home shopping. Over the last two weeks, we have purchased several items for her home, and during this visit, I was looking for a recliner for myself. Since I am on a fixed budget, this was a significant purchase for me, and I wanted to ensure I made the right choice. As I was browsing, I spent time sitting in several chairs, discussing my options over the phone with my daughter. While I was testing one chair in particular, I noticed an associate, later identified as "Joy," repeatedly looking in my direction. She would stop what she was doing and stare at me, making me feel uncomfortable. I mentioned this to my daughter over the phone, suspecting that the associate might have thought I was sitting too long in the chair or staying in her section for an extended period. As I tried to arrange transportation for the chair I was considering, I remained seated to prevent another customer from purchasing it before I finalized my decision. At this point, Joy approached the chair next to me and bumped the one I was sitting in while "adjusting" the adjacent chair. I ignored this. She then proceeded to reach behind and around me to a console table, invading my personal space, which I also chose to ignore. She eventually walked away but continued looking in my direction. Shortly after, she returned and said, "I am sorry, but I am going to have to disturb you; I need to put this chair over there," pointing to an area about ten feet away. At this point, I responded, telling her not to speak to me and questioning why she was asking a customer to vacate a chair they were considering purchasing. I pointed out that there were numerous other chairs in the store. She then asked if I was buying the chair, and I again asked her to stop speaking to me. She proceeded to call me "rude," which caused me to lose my temper. This interaction made me feel targeted and bullied for no apparent reason. Whether it was prejudice or another motive, I cannot say, but I know how it made me feel--uncomfortable, disrespected, and humiliated in front of other customers. Joy's behavior seemed to be an intentional attempt to pressure me into leaving the chair, making me uncomfortable by bumping me and reaching around me. When those actions failed, she outright told me to move. Another customer who witnessed this incident came to my aid, questioning why I couldn't sit in the chair and immediately sitting in the one next to me to make a point. The situation was so ridiculous that neither of us understood why it was happening. I was so shaken by this incident that I initially left the store without making a purchase. However, after recounting the exchange to my daughter, she convinced me to return and buy the chair because I genuinely liked it, however, I finally settled on another chair and made the purchase. I am unsure what actions were taken by the store management, because when I returned the next day, Joy was there. I wanted to share my experience with this particular associate and encourage anyone who has had a similar experience to report it to the store, as this is unacceptable. I feel that no customer should endure such treatment. Additionally, I noticed the following day when I returned to pick up my chair that the chair Joy had asked me to vacate had been moved back to its original location, further emphasizing that there was no valid reason for her to demand that I move in the first place. This experience has left me extremely disappointed in a store I have supported consistently. read more

I've always loved going in this store it's a wonderful place to shop, but something very unfortunate happened last time I was there. I've been looking for something in particular for a while. I finally found what I was looking for, or so I thought. It was a rather large painting but it had a scuff mark right in the middle of it. It wasn't a deal breaker for me. I took it up front along with some other items. I asked if I could get a discount since it had a mark on it because I could probably get it cleaned once I got home. I feel like it can't hurt to just ask. The cashier (very nice girl) called the floor manager up front to authorize the discount. The manager walked up and did not even acknowledge me even though I was talking to her. I was saying to her that I felt like I could get it cleaned up once I got home and that I wanted to see if there would be any discount. She ignored me and got a number 2 pencil out of a drawer and started erasing on the picture. I wanted to ask her to please stop! The cashier and myself were a bit shocked at this because the picture was very light colored and now had pink eraser marks on it and the paint slightly rubbed off completely. I'm not sure if she was just having a bad day or if she really didn't want to give a discount. I told her politely that the picture unfortunately now looked even worse and that I couldn't purchase it now. I payed for my other items and walked away very disappointed. I heard her call me back before I exited the store. I walked back over and she showed me the picture again pointing to the spot and said she could give me a 10% discount. I told her I would have liked to have the 10% before she did what she did. In a very upbeat way she said "okay then" with a smile. I was not smiling. It was not "okay" with me. I left very disappointed that day because that was the only picture they had like that. Her name was Jodie. I actually called customer service because this was just not right. They said they were sending me a coupon even though that is not why I called them. I never even got the coupon either. Update: I received the coupon in the mail. It was 10% off. read more

Always great service from the staff. There's normally a different selection of decor each time I visit. The prices are pretty reasonable. It's close to other shopping and great restaurants. It's always clean and pretty well organized. read more

The customer service was awesome! This is a big store with a wide selection.

Very clean organization I could just buy the entire store if I could afford it but that's for another day. I'm just looking for some decorations and this store makes me want to redo the entire house. Very nice staff. Wish they had sales. read more

This is a great place to shop!!!! The customer service is awesome. I always find what I'm looking for in this store. It's nice and neat for a home store. This is the type of store that once you see it you better get it. It's not going to be there when you come back. read more

I shopped at Home Goods last night. Not only did I find great bargains, I must say that the cashier had an awesome personality; she was very caring and customer-focused. My shopping experience was very pleasant and the fact that I was able to take a cart outside to load my car with my purchases added immensely to the totally positive shopping experience at Home Goods. I will most definitely be back to Home Goods again and again! read more
