But for the most part, they recognize that a solid browse is usually needed before you'll be ready to check out up front. I admit, once I find my books I always (always!) take a right turn before checkout to do a solid walk-thru of the papers, calendars, binders, candy- everything yu need to have cool, pretty things on your desk or bookcase. And theyy get me every time. I ike that you can put a book aside to pick up and pay in store. Some times I'm not 100% sure that I'm buying the book I want, so it's handy to not have to pre-pay for a pickup. The selections on the tables up front are usually fairly interesting - mysteries, current releases, popular titles. There's always something there that I haven't read, or a great gift idea. Yep, people still like to give and get real paper books! While I keep a dozen or so ready-loaded on my Kindle, my first love are books that stay with you and I'm always gifting one to someone who I know still reads, or is learning to read, or doesn't know that they need to READ A DAMN BOOK! Because I'm only there to help! Go. Listen to a story time. Attend an author event. Or get a Starbucks at the counter and grab a table. There are many worse ways to spend some time quieting your mind.

They gave me the refund and said if she could fix the necklace, she would call me. Well she called me and I went back and bought it. It's that kind of customer service that this world is missing.

There is much more than just paper in here. In fact it…read moreseems that this is a store with many mini shops within it. A lot of the merchandise does center around "paper" like cards, gift wrapping accessories and stationery. However that turns out to be just the tip of the iceberg. Some of the other things they have include Vera Bradley merchandise, costume jewelry, the very fun Alex & Ani bracelet collection, some women's clothing, candles, children's toys, books, local Massachusetts items, home decor like Mariposa and plenty of other things that can be attention grabbers. It's crazy how I can get myself caught up in here looking around. It's hard not to find a little something to buy myself or something as a fun gift for a friend. Ironically I suppose, I don't love the card selection as they Hallmark which are not my favorite. Last year I purchased a Vera Bradley carry-on tote for a trip I was taking. It's a travel bag I've come to love. Not only is it pretty (VB fabrics can be really eye-catching) but I can fit so many things into it and because it's "soft-sided" it's easy to stuff into an overhead bin on a plane or even under the seat. Contrary to another review which said returns are difficult, I found it quite easy to exchange an Alex & Ani bracelet I received at Christmas. I had gotten two of the same bracelet and they happily let me pick out another even without having a receipt. If you sign up for their rewards program, you will regularly receive coupons and a special treat in your birthday month. Nothing too precious here, just some happy shopping in a large, clean, friendly store.

I haven't read a comic book in probably 15 years. But when I saw an image of Daredevil #1 (image…read moreattached) I thought I'd change that. After all, once a week, I'm at the public library close to this shop, so why not give it a shot? The exterior is really not much to look at. But under the heading of "don't judge a comic book by its cover" (see what I did there?), I ventured forth. In my youth, this would have been an absolute mecca for me. I would have *begged* a parent to take me here and blown the entirety of whatever allowance I had while here. Their selection is fantastic. I intended to buy DD #1 and walk out, but I left with far more because of their incredible selection and my weak willpower. If you're in the area and are a fan of this type of thing, I highly recommend you deal with parking challenges and make your way to this family-run shop

Look... Walmart is not supposed to be, or provide a shopping "experience". You could say that about…read moreother department stores, and maybe even Target, not here. They have almost everything under the sun, but the idea is to buy it, pay, and leave. With that said, not all Walmarts are created equal, and this one falls somewhere in the middle, hence the three stars. There isn't a plethora of employees out and about, but I've not had a negative interaction. A handful of people have had better days, but for the most part, our interactions have been pleasant, and if someone didn't have an answer, they would find out. Furthermore, Walmart is cheap! Some staples like eggs, milk, cheese may be cheaper than the Stoppy right next door. If you find you buy these things on the regular, do take a look at the prices, a couple extra bucks saved definitely doesn't hurt. Likewise, don't overlook the pharmacy. After my insurance decided to no longer cover my medication, and a different pharmacy wanted an arm and a leg, Walmart came through. Sure, it's not open 24 hours, but you can get your meds at prices cheaper than most. (though, in the hopes of saving you a couple bucks, if you have a Costco or BJ's membership, as them their rates). In terms of negatives: The store is organized a bit funny, with mailing envelopes being quite close to bicycles! On the one hand, I realize there is only so much that can be done when you carry everything under the sun. On the other, look to what Target did in keeping all sporting goods in one area as opposed to two. Second, I feel as though the displays could be a little tidier. Items are stocked for the most part, but having them arranged a bit nicer would not hurt. Finally, while they do have four self-scan registers because there are not a whole lot of regular registers open, lines can get a little on the long side. I've heard someone describe Walmart as a blue Target. Well, these stores couldn't pass as twins, maybe siblings (but maybe), but definitely cousins.
