Usually I have a decent experience at this location... But the staff today were questionable. As…read moresoon as I walk through the door the cashiers are loudly bad mouthing a customer that was just in the store so loud you could hear them clear to almost the back of the store. I was absolutely disgusted by their behavior. As someone also in retail, it doesn't matter how much a customer pisses you off, that behavior is disrespectful and horrible. I honestly wanted to just turn around and leave. It's one thing to talk negatively about customers like that where other customers can't hear or off the clock but while you are on the clock actively at the registers... Just gross. I can't stress it enough. And once we got to the registers, the cashiers continued talking about their personal lives in detail including very loudly sharing to someone two registers over about someone having a stroke and passing away?! Completely inappropriate!! This whole visit to this location was just inappropriate on the staff behalf. Unfortunately this is the best selection in the area dollar store wise other wise i probably wouldn't be returning to this one... unless the staff get hugely corrected on their behavior.

The workers here are all very friendly and helpful! Plus, they keep the store neat and organized in a way that it is easy to find exactly what you are looking for! Be sure to check in with staff for the daily deals because sometimes they have pretty good ones! Also, be sure to check the back of the store because they often times have a lot of stuff on clearance!

I love this place! I try to limit myself to a monthly visit or I would end up being poor. I love…read moreeverything in this store. If you like Disney, Miyazaki, Anime and other famous cartoons, this is the place for you. They carry everything from suitcases to toddler shirts. I visited this store recently to look for a fun Disney shirt for my son and I found a Big Hero 6 shirt that he really liked. Of course he wanted this cute Do and duck rolling suitcase as well and other crazy cool things but we just purchased the shirt. They have a great website too. Make sure if you haven't checked this place out, go do so. It is a fun store and a great place if you are looking for a gift.

This is usually a good grocery outlet. Still hasn't lived to the hype of the Ming Avenue location,…read morewhich is the best grocery outlet in Bakersfield, in my opinion. I am usually at this one on the way home from work. So that I can pick up something for dinner. For the day, a typical grocery outlet.

Ok so update, my last review I mentioned a super helpful employee but I didn't get her name…read more Well, I GOT IT her name is Karina! (I hope I spelt it correctly.) Anyway she was there again! My cousin and I literally talked with her for at least 10 minutes about the TADC movie and our thoughts on it, but if you ever visit hot topic and Karina is there, she's freakin awesome and one of the nicest retail employees I think I'll ever meet. However. My story does not end there! There was also this other employee named Armando! He was super duper helpful and honestly he was a whole vibe, amazing person too. He showed us where the Jax plush's were (my cousin and I both ended up buying one so thank you so much!) he also showed me where the one piece merch was!!!!!!! Anyway, hot topic is normally a mid experience you know nothing too awesome or out of the ordinary but armondo and Karina made it one of the best experiences ever, literally those two deserve the biggest raise they can get.

Let me start by saying that, as a 30-something Emo Kid, I have loved Hot Topic all my life, but my…read morelast few experiences here have really been a bummer. I have always loved how friendly and accepting the staff is, but the past few times I have gone in and experienced rude teen behavior from the staff! Let me give you one petty example -- My favorite band is The Used. I have a HUGE tattoo on my forearm of the bands' logo and I was wearing a The Used shirt when I approached the desk to ask if they had received any of the new merch that The Used had just dropped and was advertised at Hot Topic... The gal working the front desk (Wearing all My Chemical Romance stuff -- only relevant if you know the drama between The Used and MCR lol) looks at my shirt, looks at my arm, and then goes "The Used isn't really relevant anymore, so we don't carry their merch" in super degrading and snotty tone... I thought it was sort of funny, especially since THEY LITERALLY HAD A SHIRT ON THE WALL... Anyways, there is one guy - I think his name is "Jay" or something similar and he is super friendly and helpful and definitely way better than snotty MCR girl lol.. he is almost always working and happy to help!

Love me some Bath and Body scented lotions! I especially love me some scented soaps!…read more But listen, you will not catch me shopping at B&BW unless there is a sale for these soaps or lotions. I'm usually keeping an eye out for their soap sale at the beginning of spring where I stock up for spring & summer, then again in the fall and winter. Their semi annual sale is where I'll usually stock up on lotions as well. This particular store is clean and well kept. Staff is friendly, but they tend to be limited on inventory compared to other stores.

One note I have noticed upon entering the store is that I rarely get greeted. Understanding that busy days like this will happen( yet I've noticed past visits other customers will be greeted and given a shopping basket and it's crickets as I walk past associates. This store is always immaculate and clean especially with being a very busy store. Always have great selection of items and stocked very well!

I recommend Costco for most everything in the store I do wish they would have a self checkout sort…read moreof like Sam Club does but they usually keep the the lines moving fast enough that it's not too painful the only problem that I have with the checkout lines is when you're going to the self checkout they no longer have wands and you have to pick every item out of the card and put it on the conveyor belt yourself so you can scan it. N o problem unless dealing with a 20 to 30 lb bag of rice and beans that is a little over the top but when I have those items I choose to go through the lines where the workers will remove those items, They also have the best Meats in the business if you don't believe try them for yourself go for the prime select Meats,as the choice is good but the marbling on the prime steaks and ribeye are Bar None to many meat market I have ever been to. Costco also has the snack bar which is outside the store and the only downfall with that is they have six to eight machines outside and only two to three work which is not a problem during most of the day but around noon and around 5:00 p.m. they're super crowded and you're dealing with a lot of people who act like they've never been to Costco and can't pick what they want so it takes a lot longer to get to one of those machines. The upside is when you do get to the counter the step is really quick and friendly and make sure your order is complete before they send you on your way with a smile.
