This is my go to store for most things. This Macy's is easy to get in and out of quickly because it's on the south end of the mall with plenty of parking around. The staff are friendly, efficient (usually) and the stores carries a little of everything - clothing, accessories, makeup, luggage, fine china, linens, shoes, kitchen/home goods, etc. I can usually find the items I want and it seems like there's always a sale. Most items can be returned/exchanged within 180 days. read more

I was in the store and looking for a dress for a wedding .. not one person came up to help me .. and I finally asked someone where the dressing was ( as I was holding five dresses in my arms .. she didn't bother to take them out of my arms .. and pointed me to the dressing room !!! Not one person asked me if they could help me !! I won't ever be shopping at Macy's again ...really upsetting !! read more

Was just there a few minutes ago trying to buy new foundation only to realize that the shade I'd had for years was too orange! I asked for help and an employee (I think she said her name was Reena) was so kind and professional with helping me find my shade! She was very patient with my issue! She worked in the MAC section and she had curly hair. She was very sweet! read more

Walked i n from the men's department and went straight to Origins. I like there makeup because my sensitive skin & asked the lady for mineral powder. She was very helpful and found out my color then she also matched me with concealer. I ended up getting just the powered with SPF for $31. I got to use my gift card so it only ended up being $6 score! I specifically came for a new pillow. Went up stairs & looked through the foam pillows. I had a coupon from my wedding registry 20% off. I got the pillow for under $40. read more

My boyfriend and I went into this Macys looking for a pair of earrings for a gift. There was a good selection of earrings but the service wasn't great. The woman who was working at the counter kept staring at us while speaking with her co-worker which made me really uncomfortable. In comparison to the other locations I've visited, I would say this location has a better selection but the judgmental workers really ruin the experience. read more

I love Macy's and but this location very clean and organized,helpful employees also they put every corner hand sanitizer I like that. Too many clothing options,any kind brand you can find great price.they are giving great deal Thank you Macy's I'll always being your customer and spending my money here read more

Ordered a Christmas gift online to be delivered. Gift delivered from La Jolla store using DoorDash. Came in Macy's bag, no box. My wife got home first and saw her gift. Way to ruin the surprise Macy's. Weak! read more

My husband and I wet to Macy's at UTC planning to spend the gift cards we received over the holidays. We went to the 3rd floor to cruise through the bedding and housewares. We were greeted by the amazing Taj . He greeted us with a smile and a fantastic sense of humor. Taj guided us through the purchase of incredibly expensive but worth it down pillows sheets and other items we absolutely needed.(wanted) He obviously takes pride in his work. Needless to say we signed up for a Macy's credit card and will be back to shop with Taj. Great experience ! read more

Too many complaints to write about. Rude unprofessional staff,lots of overpriced crap with pretend deals. read more

Been trying to call this location for the past 30 min. They've been a staple of this UTC mall for so many years that it's hard not give them proper OG cred as a major tenant. I grew up seeing this Macy's at UTC so I had major respect for them. They are located by Red Robin and Eureka. I believe they are hurting due to the re modeling of this mall. Parking is tough and the department store looks run down. I don't think they're getting a brand new location or build out like Nordstrom. My grandmother likes a certain Elizabeth Arden cosmetic product that I'm trying to buy her. Online says Macy's carry this face serum. Tried calling over and over their 858 phone #. NO answer. Except from an automated machine that doesn't have the option to hit the #0 to get a live operator. I hit a # that's for cosmetics. The machine listed off over 8 brands, with department #'s, to choose from but not the brand that I'm looking for. Tried to hit #0 for help after hearing all the cosmetics being listed off. Puts you back to square one. Tried to hit Chanel or Benefit to see if maybe they would pick up and transfer me. No answer. Back to square one on automated machine. Gave up. And I wanted to buy something. Not return. Not complain. Just see if the product is there. I don't know what will happen to this location. Please hire someone to take phone calls and direct to right department. read more

Great selection, there are lots of options, they always have specials. This Macy is the best store in San Diego.

Go4AJ This guy was handling the entire shoe department by himself He had a great attitude. This review is all for him read more

I came to Macy's to repurchase my full coverage foundation and purchase a new primer. I am a loyal fan of Estée Lauder when it comes to the full coverage foundation. I have oily skin in the summer and dry skin in the winter. I needed a primer to use on my face. I always put moisturizer on my face before anything. Anyway, the lady who helped me was nice but took forever to find my foundation and primer. She rang me up quickly but she also made sure I got my products. I was definitely happy with my purchase. The store was empty and good thing the lady at the other counter stepped up to help me. I don't normally shop at Macy's and when I do, I try to look for bargains or I will just repurchase my foundation here. A descent store but the young lady who ignored me needs to up her customer service. At least the other lady asked me if I was being helped and I replied no. She came to help me. The young workers here need to offer more customer service. read more

Horrible service in the shoe department! You have to be in line for your turn, and it's okay for that. I choose two pairs and they didn't have the sizes. He wanted me to try a bigger size which wouldn't fit my feet. When I asked to try another color after waiting almost 20 minutes for my turn he told me to go back in the line and wait again... ridiculous! Go help your local store and don't waste your time here read more

Macy's looks pretty dead sometimes in some departments, such as clothing, but in others, such as the ground floor cosmetics etc. it sells pretty much the same things as any other department store, and seems to be doing okay. Back to school shopping here for my daughter she managed to find some things she liked. I think she used to like Macy's more, but still seems like there are some good items here and almost everything is usually on sale. Star Rewards program to earn discounts and rebates. read more

I love this Macys ... given it's convenient location in the UTC mall. More recently I was a customer at the MAC outlet within this Macy's store and had outstanding customer service ... particularly from Chaz. Another huge motive of this Macy's is that it has a Maternity Wear section which even bigger Macy's stores like the fashion valley one doesn't have. read more

The staff in the makeup section is amazing. I forgot to claim the gift promo from Estée Lauder, one of the staff found me in the store and personally gave it to me. The girl at the MAC counter was a big SNOB. Run if you see her. The people in the home section are underpaid or overworked, they are too dismal to be courteous to customer. read more

Stopped by on the weekend to return some items I bought my parents. I forgot my receipt so I asked to cashier if I should pull up the order on my phone (since I ordered online) or pull up my Macy's account. She told me no and that she could pull my order if I had the card I used. I had it so we did it that way. However, when she pulled up my order... - The total return was $104 (plus some cents) though it should have been $123.27 - She also told me she could give me a $90 gift card and then refund the rest of the balance on my card even though I never used a gift card. I asked her why she was giving me a gift card and she stated that the system was showing I paid with a gift card. I let her know I never did nor did I have any Macy's credit and she responded with "Well I don't know. That is what it is showing". I asked if she could call a supervisor to check it and see if they could do something different and she said "I don't even know who is here". That is when I got frustrated because she was not even willing to help. She just stood there, lazy. I asked her again, to grab a supervisor and she rolled her eyes and went to the back. Supervisor comes out and looks at the monitor and says "Looks like you paid with a gift card". I said "I understand it shows that but I am telling you I never paid with a gift card. I can pull up my account and show you my order. Can you help me understand why it is showing a gift card". Supervisor just said "I don't know". I then asked them to re-run the return and at this point, I pulled up my online account. Supervisor scanned the barcode on my account and $123.27 (not $104) ALL PAID WITH CREDIT CARD. NO GIFT CARD. When this popped up on the screen, they both were silent. Did not say a word and processed my return in silence. I am incredibly disappointed in their customer service as they did not attempt to even try to fix the problem. I will not shop here again. read more

I was at UTC mall , on Saturday i was leaving the mall but i decide to call macys to see if they had a product in chanel costmetic they answer phone and never acknowledged the call I was just place on hold with the receiver on top of phone I could hear everything they where talking about ,so I park n went into store , I waited at counter since I saw that both lady's where very busy ,the older lady made eye contact I thought she was gonna acknowledged me and tell me to wait the usual (we are busy but we will be right with you) nope she just turned around so I proceeded to interrupt her with (excuse me ) but nothing loud or disrespectful and I ask her if that's the way they treated customers answer phone don't even said anything n place them on hold she got very offended and yelled at me saying she just came back from lunch and it wasn't her I told her ma'am I'm not saying it's you someone here did , then lady that did confronted me n said it was her n that she did ask me to hold which it was a complete lie long story , the other other customers started to give me dirty looks and mumbled nasty things while both macys employees encouraged the behavior, one customer finished her transaction and walked away with her young daughter commenting nasty comments toward me which i will admit I did told her to F-off , then other older customer lady still at counter started insulting me , I had already ask another macys employee to get manager , older customer lady was very rude to the point I had to remind her that the profanity she was using wasn't very lady like and to mind her own business that she didn't know the whole story lady got more upset that she was called out , but it's done my Point to explained the ordeal , is that we are the customers I get it theirs rude people out their the whole incident should of been treated different by the 2 macys employees, acknowledging the customer (me) I saw they where busy making that eye contact with me gave me the go ahead to interrupt and the answer I got was wrong a simple (im sorry as you see we are very busy ) not the confrontation attitude, this is getting to long with that said , I will no longer be shopping at this macys location I have work with both macys employees in the past the older lady has been rude In the past too but I have given her the benefit of doubt retail can be stressful, but after this experience no , highly don't recommend this macys location at all sometimes when employees have been their for a while they feel superior almost like the store is theirs , and that's unacceptable you have a job cause of the customer no one should be treated like I did and encourage other customer to be mean . Sorry if misspelled words very upsetting situation read more

I really love site to store pick up to save on shipping costs. This store is much smaller than the one at Fashion Valley which I like more because of better selection. But this location is convenient and has what I need. I ordered some cold weather coats for an upcoming trip online during Black Friday for store pick up. One jacket only took 3 days to ship to the store I was able to pick it up today. The quality of the clothes and brands here are very nice. I got a north face jacket for such a great deal. Also picked up a nautica one for an even better deal. Pick is up super easy, just let them scan the barcode on your email and show you ID. The pick up is in the men's department next to the luggage. I like going to the last act section on the second floor for women and juniors which is now all combined. It's a much smaller selection but if you are willing to dig through the racks there are some good deals. The new parking garage is nice but it can get confusing if you are not familiar with it. I usually like to park outside in front of Macy's outside to the parking garage. Overall a small Macy's but it has everything you need. read more

It was impossible to find an open cashier register. I literally walked around the whole store, up and down the escalators just to look for a cashier to check out my items. It was ridiculous. I was even told by one cashier that they couldn't help me and to go around to this or that cashier across the store. But were there any cashiers there? Nope. You can see why this location of Macy's is so empty, because no employee seems to be engaging in their work and when I seem to be interested in something, they either look away or act as if they never saw you there. This place is a joke and I definitely wouldn't come here again. read more

We have been standing at the watch counter for the last 20 minutes while ONE lady is helping ONE customer. We asked her for assistance and she said she is busy with a customer. Then she started arguing telling how she has been there since 7 am. Understand the frustration but Macy's needs to deal with customer service better. Not a fun place to shop!! read more

The good part of Macy's: every time I come in here, the stuff I need is on sale. Today I needed a pair of business casual shoes and there was a large # of them on sale. The time before, I needed a belt, and lots of them were on sale. And my visit before that? It was their store-wide semi-annual sale. Maybe I am just good with my timing, I don't know. The bad part: customer service. For one, the sales people don't seem to be around when you need them. Also, they generally aren't the most polite people in the world. And if they are both nearby and polite? Well you got what I had today: a saleswoman loudly smacking away on her gum. Real professional. In sum: 5 stars for the ubiquitous sales. 3.5 stars for selection. 2 stars for service. read more

Located in the UTC mall. There's nothing special about this particular store. It looks quite dated compared with the rest of the mall which has been going through a large scale renovation. It's multi-level with very narrow escalators. Selection is decent and sales staff were helpful. read more

Wow! What a great shopping experience in your suit department! Tommy was knowledgeable and attentive. He helped my fiancé with picking the right style, size and fit of two knew suits! Tommy was courteous, friendly and extremely easy to work with. He is great at what he does! Thank you Tommy we will be back soon and will ask for you of course! read more

I came by the other afternoon confused and lost with no second opinion to help as I came along shopping the other day.Then Bob came to the rescue and was very helpful and gave me his expertise and opinion on matching pieces for jewelry I was looking for. I am so glad for the wonderful service he gave and I'm happy with my purchase. He rang me up also and left a great impression for this Macy's at UTC mall. 4 Stars.~ read more

First things you need to know--I don't like to shop and I was not a big Macy's fan due to multiple experiences there with terrible service. However, they generally have a good selection of women's suits and career style dresses, so sometimes I bite the bullet and I go. My most recent visit was such a pleasant surprise. There is something new at Macy's and it is fantastic! The customer service offered by their new mystylist@macy approach in the women's department is AMAZING! Theresa Doctor, who was my stylist during my recent visit deserves a raise and big kudos from Macy's Corporate. She was attentive to my style needs, brought me choices that matched my taste plus a few options to help me branch out, and then I didn't even have to go search for a cashier. The stylists have cashier options right there is a new small room off of the changing area. Awesome! Theresa finished out my sale by giving me her card with her cell phone number so I could reach her when I am in the store. i was really impressed with the level of service and I let her know it was the best customer service experience I have ever had in Macy's. If they want to survive, brick and mortar stores really have to reconsider how they can offer more to their customers. Clearly Macy's is working on this and it shows. read more

I love this Macys. It's always my first stop at the mall. Although I like the one at Fashion Valley better since it's bigger. They always have good sales especially when purchasing with a Macys card. Good selection of junior clothing. Love their purses. Most people are friendly here. read more

The star is for "finish line" employees. I wanted to buy a pair of shoes, there was two employees and nobody tried to help me. I asked them two times for my size and they said they were too busy. read more

Excellent service from Yesenia in cosmetics. She was very helpful. This is the reason I love shopping at Macy's. Their customer service is the best! read more

Typical Macy's until you reach the fact that all the workers are either giving you attitude and telling you they don't know how to do their job, overcharging you and acting like it isn't their problem, or taking a personal call while making you wait just to ask a question. Good grief. read more

Fabulous store and customer service is amazing! Today I went to the Macys in UTC. I went to buy my son new clothes. He is growing up so fast he always needs new clothes. There was a chubby guy with glasses named Maz who was very helpful, He not only helped me find my sons size, he seemed nice. He made us laugh the whole time. I will definitely go back for more clothes for my son. read more

I prefer Macy's over nordstroms because I don't feel like I'm paying too much... However you do receive less customer service and things are more cluttered but the bottom line is you save a few bucks. I try to park on their side of the lot as it's less crowded even during the holiday rush and its a great location to get to the mall. They tend to have aggressively priced items and also provide additional discounts with online marketing or coupons in the papers. I like the shoe selection as they are neatly displayed and perfectly located. whenever I need a quick outfit, I usually drop by here read more

LOCATION: 4333 LA JOLLA VILLAGE DRIVE ,SAN DIEGO CA. 92122. I have a complaint. Against several employees IN MACY'S WESTFIELD UTC fine jewelry department. My fiancee' purchased a diamond sol/wed item number: 840535117961 263/45; Description: 1 CTTW HIJ/I213 RNDCLUS D/C/V/S 263/45/411/48491 Originally $2200. ALONG WITH THE w/ FJWorryNoMore Insurance policy #:400818516098 985/4, Diamond on 12/16/2022. He proposed on his birthday 12/19/2022 at the former Truluck's restaurant. I returned to this Macy's Westfield UTC location with my fiancee' to upgrade to my preferred diamond ring. An Asian woman (Macy's staff member) treated me with such indignation. Think of the OPRAH moment when a cashier told Oprah to wait until a sale, assuming Oprah couldn't afford the product. The Asian woman in Macy's jewelry department treated me with such contempt, as a typical stereotypical RACIST would. SHE called security upon sitting down with us. Explained to security that she was showing a diamond, then proceeded to lock the jewelry case each and every time she opened the jewelry box. Told my fiancee't to wait to propose in May of the next year, because the diamond would cheaper. IMAGINE!! Yes, this happened!!!! THE ORIGINAL CASHIER that help with the purchase of this diamond WOULD NOT ACKNOWLEDGE US!!! She stood at her cash register never looking up even thou we sat at the counter waiting for some assistance. We both are graduates from great universities, wholesome people with friendly welcoming non-threatening personalities, yet ... this was her decisive approach to customer service. There should be camera footage and security recordings of this Asian woman and her colleagues on this incident just days after 12/16/2022. AT THE TOP OF THE RECEIPT is the number: 547-0033-1686 71099583-0033 @ 10:50A 12/16/2022 R2350547003316867107 read more
