    There was an advertisement at the JobLot website in Bedford MA for a rug that was on sale from $249 to $49. After traveling over there to purchase the rug, the store manager denied the sale. customer service was called and she stated that was a miss print on the website however the rug was still stating on the website for $49. They rudely stated that they wouldn't sale the rug to me for the price that was listed on the website. False advertisement! See printouts of the website taken couple hours ago while I was still in the store. This practices goes against Massachusetts Consumer Protection Laws 940 C.M.R. 3.13.

    I normally don't leave reviews for consignment shops I visit because I might go and find some…read moreamazing goodies and influence someone to go in expecting the same amazing goodies that have been picked through and not replaced and rate the business bad. Thrift/consignment stores are a gamble, usually worth the risk to scope out in my eyes. I came on Yelp to see if I could shop online at WearOvers and someone's one star review popped up from 2 days prior to mine now talking about her experience with staff and wanted to express my MULTIPLE (9 at least) visits here. This place is massive with a very well organized (I'd say repurposed house probably) with a front entry room that's color coordinated jewelry, walking into a large open room that to your left are racks of clothes that depends on the weather but organized by color and size The displays above these clothes are pearl jewelry/diamonds then thin walkway (2 people could pass if paying attention to surroundings with no issues) that if you turn left racks of clothes organized by color/size and shelves with purses and jewelry and shoes ALL color coordinated. I could keep going section by section but my main point is. 1: I've NEVER seen a thrift place in all the states I travel for work and explore shops have an easier way to shop/thrift. If I'm only looking for one specific item that's a certain color, I can run in look in whatever color section and run out without having to waste forever digging. But if you want to just browse they make it so easy!! 2. I CANNOT believe how well priced these items are! Some items, I've had to question because I think they are priced wrong (too low) for the quality and condition) 3. Every time I have visited, there may not be someone just standing there at the counter doing nothing but greet the incoming customer but I can see why: I've only seen one person on staff there at a time that if they aren't checking out a customer, they are organizing or re-racking items, assisting customers in the shop or walking through multiple rooms and a second story with clothes to assist shopping customers. For the love of Jesus, they are one person with so many tasks and responsibilities!! If you need attention the whole time you are shopping, please hire a personal shopper at a high end store! Not once has any staff (it's always been a different staff member when i go in) been rude or demeaning! They have been nothing but nice helpful attentive... I could go on. 4: i tried before I made this post to just reply to the one star review person's review to save me from this SUPER long review I'm leaving and couldn't so I'll say this here: it sounded to me, (I wasn't there so I can't be 100% sure) that this person was in her own little world thinking she was the only person out shopping today, got butt hurt when she sat on a stool (first time in a thrift shop to think random stools are for customers to lounge on to shop??) and was asked by staff if she needed help. Then got butt hurt AGAIN when (from her own comment having her ear bud in with whatever audio playing) in her own world of shopping and not paying attention to her surroundings in a PUBLIC SHOPPING area squatting in a walkway was asked by staff to let another patron pass, said that was rude?? But then leave a ONE star review on a shop for hurt feelings and not the actual shop quality?? So I sat here for 39 minutes making this post about a shop that I've never received money or discount or perks from to say IGNORE the lady's (who looks approximately in her 50-60"s so you wouldn't think she wouldn't have the attitude of she's the s only one that's important or exists in this world that this is her only second review on Yelp at all) review is unfair. And PLEASE, if the one star review lady ever comes back and sees my comment and would like a sit down adult discussion over coffee or martini to just discuss worldly appropriate behavior to comment or review again and I'd be happy to discuss.

    I have shopped here for several years and have found some great bargains, but yesterday I had a…read morestrange encounter with one of the employees. I happened to be listening to a podcast and had one earbud in. Sometimes when I walk in, there is a person behind the counter, and I might or might not greet them depending on whether or not the person is working on a sale, just busy with something behind the counter, or I am lost in thought. When I walked in, no one was behind the counter, and I made my way to the blouses. There happened to be a stool there, so I sat down to look at the blouses and shirts. The moment I sat down, a store employee came to me, looked me directly in the face and asked if I needed help, which was unusual for this store. Major stores do this but not small stores such as this one. I paused the podcast and responded, saying "No". She went on to say that she had said "Hello" or "Hi" (don't remember which) to me several times. I find this hard to believe as the distance from the counter to the blouses is mere steps. At this point, she could clearly see the earbud in my ear. Then she left. Was I "supposed" to greet her? Am I required to greet the store worker? Later on I was almost finished shopping and had planned to buy a small scarf. I was in an area which is VERY tight. It is hard for two people to pass each other. I was squatting down looking at something on one of the lower shelves and admittedly somewhat unaware of the people around me, when the "friendly" worker spoke to me asking if I could let someone pass behind me. Again, I could be wrong, but she acted as if I was being terribly rude. By the time she finished asking me, the person had already passed. Also, the person herself could easily have tapped me on the shoulder and asked to pass. Maybe I am reading more into it than is really there, but she seemed to have a beef with me. At that point, I dropped the scarf on the counter and walked out. I will not be returning to this store anytime in the near future.

    Joy: New England Nurseries in Bedford, MA has remained a…read moremagical happy place for years. Beautiful Perennials, Annuals, & Shrubs have all remained healthy, & instructions for optimal growth are attached. Convenient location right on Concord Rd is a bonus. Wandering the lanes -- with such a sumptuous range -- reminds me that "Joy is not meant to be a Crumb".* Need To Know: Many plants include valuable details, such as: Attractive to Pollinators; Repels Mosquitoes; No deadheading blossoms required; Deer Resistant; 6-8 hours of Direct Sun needed. Good to know. More Planting Info: Because most Plants are arranged by category in beautifully marked lanes -- sun, shade, perennial, annual, native -- finding fundamental info is simple. More details are always easily found online, too. Goats! Visiting sweet & frisky rescue goats Ben & (yep!) Jerry is a pleasure: climbing rocks, munching hay, encouraging petting. Ah! Simple fauna pleasures among so many floral treasures. Dear elderly Fluffernutter is a goat 90 in human years, enjoying attention as a sweet-natured senior. Planting Questions Rating: I remain so puzzled by negative comments about customer service. I've found help to be accessible, valuable, & informative, even near closing time & when especially busy. My questions would annoy most nurseries, but planting instructions included are not always specific enough. Examples of rookie questions that have been answered pleasantly, even by phone: My Rookie Questions: How may I plant autumn Tulip bulbs that won't be devoured? (Consider Daffodils.) Will 'Million Bells' (Calibrachea) need to be covered if nights dip below 45? (Depends. Is location sheltered?) Can Pansies tolerate light frost? (Yes.) What should soil temperature remain to plant spring tubers for glorious Dahlias? (50° F. or warmer.) Impatiens? (60° F. lowest). What I Don't Ask: I only ask questions if not clearly marked on plant -- yet extra info provided helps, like knowing newly-planted Dahlia tubers do need watering if rain penetration depth is insufficient. (Want Dinner-Plate Dahlias in August? Stick a finger into soil an inch or so in spring. Dry? Tuber or plant needs more water: Rain wasn't enough.) Addendum: I have not purchased trees or landscaping materials, so cannot judge customer service for them. Quality & selection appear exceptional, & friends who have bought them were happy with results. Summary? I Love New England Nurseries. _________________________________ * Quote: Mary Oliver poem: "Joy is not meant to be a Crumb."

    Being a military facility, I'd like to be positive. But that won't be the case here…read more I've been to commissaries all over the country. This one has to mark lowest on the list for several things. The meats, are not appealing. By 11:00 am, take the gray colored beef out of the case. The prices!! Commissaries are supposed to be affordable. These prices are higher than the grocery stores. I can have my cat foot delivered from Amazon for less. Mismarked products. Every time I come in, it seems something was marked lower than the scanned price. I never notice until I'm 100 miles away, back in 'Maine. This time I was more careful. The item was 33 % higher than the shelf tag price. It wasn't an expensive item, however I had to argue the point it was mismarked. On a good note, plenty of parking.

    So, I'll be wicked blunt up front. I've been putting this update off for a while now. But I cannot…read morehold it in any longer. We gotta talk about one glaringly vexing aspect about the Hanscom Commissary that's simply too offensive to ignore. But in order to best understand this cruel and unusual managerial decision, I'll have to carefully explain what I *think* their intent probably was. Now, the self-checkout lanes (and basically EVERY check-out register, for that matter) have seen a massive upgrade since I first came to this spot. Contactless payment is the wave of the future and, to Hanscom AFB's credit, they have embraced this like a rottweiler on a T-Bone steak. As such, it wouldn't surprise me if the intent of the commissary management was to encourage all shoppers to do 99.9% of their transactions via the self-checkout kiosks. Granted, there's only 4 of them with at least 1 occasionally being ostensibly NMC on a rotational basis. Irregardless, that SHOULD be plenty enough for the amount of traffic one could expect a commissary so comparatively small to host. Thing is, though....they still have traditional check-out lanes with a cashier and bagger. Unfortunately, it is with the latter that I have BIG problem with and I'll tell you why. The commissary does not pay their baggers. Read that sentence again. Yeah. This is a thing. And I think it's cruel. Wanna know who DOES pay the baggers (albeit through a heavily coerced moral obligation)? The customers. May I ask why?! This type of thing pisses me off for several reasons. Firstly, it's analogous to a big oil company blaming the state of pollution on an average Joe failing to recycle their can of soda that one time. Second, it invariably passes the buck (no pun intended) to the average consumer, ultimately making them the defacto "boss" of the bagger. It's quite awkward when you consider the fact that (as far as I know) no other grocery stores do this. Again, I could be wrong. Someone please correct me if I am. Third, it makes no sense for management NOT to pay baggers since they still have to report to work regardless if 100% of all customers use the self checkout kiosks or not. Lastly, let's consider that in 2025, most individuals carry very little (if any) cash on them. Even then, it's likely 10s and 20s. I'm sorry. But there is NO way I am tipping $20 for a bagger to do a task I am fully capable of doing myself anyway. I suppose I could beg the cashier to break a 20 but...imagine the social awkwardness. Sure, there's signs that notify customers of the fact that baggers work for tips only. Unfortunately, most people probably won't see these signs until they've long since entered the store. See, THIS is what people mean when they say the tipping culture of America has gotten WAY out of hand. Just pay your damn baggers, management! It's not that difficult nor bizarre. If it ultimately means I pay slightly higher markups on grocery items, then so be it! I'm already paying with the assumption in mind that this place operates similarly to EVERY other store in the country. Plus, it's not like the selection here is all that vast anyway; especially when compared to other commissaries I've been to over the years. As it stands, I only come here for very specific items; either because they're far more expensive elsewhere, or due to a certain item being straight-up unavailable anywhere else. Speaking of which, don't even get me started on the items they've inexplicably pulled off the shelves, making me now have to order from the likes of Amazon just to obtain (R.I.P. Open Pit sauce). Look, this commissary is okay. But it'd be a lot better if they didn't celebrate tipping culture like the virtue it isn't. Pay your baggers! It works for the cashier's right? So, what's the difference? I'm updating Hanscom's Commissary with 2 baggers waiting for a paycheck that may never come out of 5.
