I booked an online photo session for a head shot. I didn't expect much being JCPenney. Yet,…read moreJCPenney's managed to make it a horrible experience. I already have anxiety getting my pics taken. I got less than expected and overcharged. The person running the counter at the photo desk was not rude but looks like she hated her job. I understand. However, JCPenney's chooses to keep someone in the photo department who obviously doesn't care about her job or the product she produces. Again, I get it it's not the most glamorous job. Yet, people still come to work they are being paid for and at least try. I contacted someone at JCPenney and they offered a reshoot. All I really wanted was for the pics to be retouched without any further costs. Why? Because when booked the appointment I was told they would prompt me so they could get the best photo. She told me to turn my head twice so she could get two pics done quickly. When I looked at the finished product in a dark area of the shop they looked ok. However when I was able to see them on my phone I noticed somethings that could have been fixed if she just took a minute or two to do her job. I spent money to get makeup done and didn't have anymore time to spare for better pics (I needed them for a specific reason...time constraints.) I will also mention that outfit changes are advertised however the only privacy I was offered was blocking an open door with an advertising sign. No actual door to provide privacy. She helped me get the "door" in place once. I had to move the door each time I dressed. I contacted JCPenney about getting a refund for the pics or at least to fix them. They offered a photo reshoot. Why? I doubt the only employee on duty found a will to care in less than a week. I would have had to pay for someone to do my makeup again. This is why JCPenney's looks like a ghost town. You won't even fix your mistakes or offer a refund for bad customer service. I didn't expect to lose money and be embarrassed. Thanks for nothing.

Since I moved to the Alton area, I've only shopped Farm & Home Supply a couple of times. It is an…read moreodd store. I grew up on a farm in the area, but lived in different cities for 40 years before moving back. I'm guessing my city life, is dominating my country roots and my appreciation for this store. The one area that I absolutely do appreciate, is the dog toys. There are plenty of plush toys and an amazing variety of Kong Toys. Another area that I enjoy shopping, is the garden department. In the men's department, I only like their selection of blue jeans, because I can spend my life forever in blue jean. I think what surprises me most about this store is the pricing, it is higher than I would expect a farm store. Especially in the mens department, I can go to Orvis or a designer store at the outlet mall and find shirts and slacks at a better price. With the way the economy is going, we all have to be a smarter shopper. I'll continue to shop here, in hopes of finding a bargain in the future.

My other choice of a department store would be Walmart and I'll be damned before I make the Walton family richer. Departments I always shop are; Greeting Cards, Health & Beauty, Kitchen and Home Linens. The groceries are pretty good, too. If I'm shopping and need a few items, I grab them. It saves me from stopping at the grocery store on my way home. Even before the before the employees were instructed to smile at customers with a 10 feet radius, I always thought the associates were friendly here. Depending on who I see working as a cashier, determines if I use self-checkout. There are two cashiers that I really like and will wait in line, so I can interact with them while checking out. I wish Target would start their DEI program back up. When: January 10, 2026 Why: Cleaning Supplies

There wasn't even any evidence that it had even been there. I walked the mall and saw the empty spaces left by Claire's a bankrupted chain and the old location of Bath & Body Works. Yes, at least BBW moved across the street to a new space in a renovated strip center. Olga's restaurant closed after almost 40+ years, but a local restaurant bought the recipes. At least we'll be able to still enjoy those delicious Gyro's. For those interested, the stores I saw that were still open are; Ross, JC Penny's, Slackers, Famous Brand Shoes, Finish Line Shoes, Slackers, Spencers, Maurice's, Jan's Hallmark and Hayner's Public Library. To my surprise, there were a lot of mall walkers. I didn't know people still did that. I'm really surprised, that they're doing it in a mall that is almost empty. Guess it beats walking in freezing or super hot temperatures. When: January 19,2026 Why: Wanted to shop Poputopia (popcorn store)
