Treasure such unstinting employees as Landan, who would do any organization proud. This thoughtful woman surely went the extra mile. Anyone long in business knows people are quick to complain, slow to praise. So please let my words of appreciation for Ladan serve as proxy for all the other McCaulou's customers this woman has helped but who never bothered to thank her, and you, for having such terrific people.

RIDICULOUSLY OVERPRICED. Convenient store in terms of location because it's in a strip mall, which…read moreis why I've shopped there. But their prices are astronomical and today did it for me. I won't shop there any more. A toy I bought there today for $45 costs between $19 (Target) and $23 (anywhere else). Double? They mark it up double? I've known I pay more for convenience but twice or more is over the top greed. I like supporting small businesses but not when they rip me off to that excess.

The staff is always very helpful and nice. Nice jewelry, too. A real bonus is that they GIFT WRAP. Not just a bow on a box, but you choose from nice wrapping paper, and it comes with ribbon and a beautiful, curly bow. It's my go- to place for gift buying. And it's super convenient. I really appreciate this store.

I purchased a shirt at McCaulou's in Lafayette, and a week later attempted to return it at…read moreMcCaulou's in Orinda. The shirt was never worn, tags still attached, receipt in hand. The salesperson would not accept the return or exchange because the shirt "didn't look familiar" to her. Umm, excuse me...? I returned the shirt in the Lafayette store and the salesperson said that what I was told in the Orinda store was completely untrue and inappropriate. All returns are accepted within 30 days with a receipt. Would that have happened to someone of a "lighter hue"? I doubt it... Yes, I'm a Black woman. Needless to say I will never frequent McCaulou's again.

I bought 93 yr old f-in law PJ's which I fed-ex to NJ. When opened they realized the security tag had been left on. He is dying and he phoned me to tell me about security tag. He needs more pajamas. Called the store was angry, was told the manager was out until 4:20. No return call so I drove over to store. One would think the manager would be falling all over me with apologies and kindness. Nope, she was more mean than usual. Everything I said she had a come back. Not once did she show an ounce of humanity. Just scolding face and meaningless excuses.

OK, so first of all let me just say I love Gigi and Christina and a few…read moreOf my favorite staff members there, but they recently decided to redesign the entire store and put things out of place and so now we have to find things all over again Other than that, I think they need more cashiers on hand, cause the lines are way too long, especially in the morning hours and rush-hour evening hours If you have cashiers at every station, not just a few things will go a little quicker and lines won't be as long, but it seems like only a few stations are available at a time each day The only other thing I hate about the places that we have to get people to unlock things and for things like toenail, clippers, and shavers or whatever they put it in lock boxes, which is ridiculous

This Walmart on Davis St in San Leandro is a frightening SLUM. I thought I'd walked into downtown…read moreTijuana. Filthy, massive long lines, no room to push a shopping cart down any aisles, for all the indifferent employees wandering around like they were high (who can blame them, working there?), and the shelves poorly stocked. I drove a HALF HOUR to this location for a small kitchen appliance I needed to cook with since my stove is broken, and this was the closest to where I live. I tried ordering it online, the online ordering was seizing up, the item said "in stock," so I thought it would be "in stock" if I walked in and bought it in-store. NOPE. Gone from the shelf. I was not familiar with any part of San Leandro, and no one EVER answers a phone in ANY California Walmarts in Customer Service (you'd die trying, with the phone ringing for the next 50 years). So I had to drive in. The parking lot is like a convention of the most depressing and depressed-looking people on Earth and everything just looked filthy. I think the inside of County Jail is cleaner. So I drove to another Walmart a 9 minute drive away, the one on Hesperian, hoping I wouldn't be met with the same nightmare; I wasn't. The Hesperian one was clean, the lines moved fast, and the shelves were well stocked. In this one on Davis, the impression is just chaos and anarchy in the entire store. The Hesperian one is still a Walmart (and God help anyone for braving any of them), but at least THERE (NOT HERE!) I was able to get what I came in for, and leave, within a short time.

Showed up with no plan, walked out with luggage for a trip I didn't even know I needed yet. Price made the decision for me. Heads up: there's a San Jose spot too, so wherever you're at, you're covered. But this one's got better parking -- lot's right out front, open spaces even when it's packed. No circling, no arguing about where to park. Came in skeptical. Left with luggage and a new regular store.

Known to sell Costco returns (saw some shampoo that's been partially used). They carry clothing new with tags(mostly women?), lights, kitchen stuff, household things, faucets, squishmallows, pillows, suitcase, air fryers. Prices overall is lower than retail (sign said 20% off for clothing) but definitely not like 50% off. I didn't find anything I wanted but will keep in mind next time need to do some white elephant shopping. Pretty chilly inside so dress warm if it's cold out. Lots of security cameras everywhere.

This place is OK. I say that because it is the smallest Nordstrom rack I've ever seen, and…read moretherefore it doesn't have a very large selection of things to buy. Usually in other places when I come across a rack, I can spend hours perusing the store . This is not my first time coming here to buy something. However, I noticed that every time I buy something I leave empty-handed. The most successful thing I have managed thus far is to return some thing without any problems. But I could've done that anyway. The selection isn't fantastic. It isn't comprehensive. And right now I'd rather go to Emeryville and risk actually finding some thing I can buy, rather than come here and look around. Actually, I'd actually go to an actual Nordstrom store because I know they're gonna have what I want. It may not be at the price that I want, but it will be there!

The Oakland City Center is always super clean!!…read more The 12th Street Bart Station is located just down the stairs, and this place is right in the middle of Downtown Oakland. Old Oakland and Oakland Chinatown are just a few blocks away. Lots of small places to eat here, although most are closed during the weekend. You can tell this is a major lunch area during the week for businesses located here and the surrounding area. I think if they promoted this place a little better, it has the potential to be a very popular place, mostly because it is so aesthetically pleasing!!

Lots of beautiful plants in flower beds and more in big pots. Very cool fountain adorned with a colorful sculpture. Security guard on duty to maintain peace and order. Pretty good selections of shops for your coffee runs or quick bites. Many restaurants to choose from. It gets quite busy though during lunchtime. I saw long lines in subway, Popeyes, Panda Express and Starbucks. Looks like these are the go to places for employees on their lunch breaks. I didn't dine here but I had a cupcake which I enjoyed while sitting in the patio in front of the water fountain. Had a quick chat with the security guard. Overall, nice ambience and atmosphere in here. I don't mind hanging around again when in the area.
