I have been to Once Upon A Child in Meriden a few times and it's an awesome place to pick up…read morechildren and baby clothes. It's also nice to help save the planet too. Everything has decent prices and the store does great sales often. All the clothing is nicely organized from baby, girls, and boys. The selection can be overwhelming that there is so much. Most items are gently used, excellent condition, and some still have prices tags. My recent trip I went in with a plan and found a few pieces that I currently can't find at other stores new because they were out of season. While most of the store is very organized, the toy section is a mess that I don't bother picking through. A lot of the larger toys can be found above the clothing. The staff were really friendly and I signed up for their rewards program. Overall, Once Upon A Child is great, but I'd like to note that whatever cleaner they use is very strong that I have minor allergic reactions (feeling itchy, scratchy throat, etc,). I can only shop for so long and symptoms disappear after I leave the store. I've wondered if anyone else has experienced this.

My experience is solely as a buyer as I have never sold any clothes here. I go here pretty…read moreregularly and they generally will have a sale going on. I appreciate that this store is clean, and the toys are usually freshly put away when they first open. The staff was kind and opened a new register when the line got backed up and the prices are very reasonable. They usually have a good stock of clothes for younger kids but the older you go 14-18 the pickings are slimmer.

I came in once looking for black sleeveless shirts, and I found them 50% off, so I bought a couple, and came in a few days later, looking for more because my friends wanted some too. The store is rarely crowded, and the staff is friendly and helpful. Sometimes, I don't get how the clothes are arranged, but usually just browsing around, one can find what they need. Towards the back of the store is the sales rack, where I usually go, and for the most part, it is arranged neatly and doesn't have the picked over appearance.

Stop asking me can you help me, twice is maybe ok. But Yesterday 05/01/2019 at 7:15pm I drove from teaching a class in Bridgeport ( I should of went to a Gap up there but this one was close to home) and needed two dresses for my daughter for a fashion show and her first time at the theater. She was super excited because the sign said "Dresses for spring and everything". I was excited because I had to use the bathroom so bad. I could not even focus, my little one went to the dresses I danced to the clerk and asked for the bathroom while doing the familiar pee-pee dance. By the time I got to the bathroom door my pants were half-staff. Lo and Behold a sign read out of service. I had to sit on the floor to ensure there would be no clean up. I stood up and said to the lady " this bathroom is out of order can I use yours" she said "let me ask the manager." The manager said "NO". I danced passed the manager telling me to try a different store and my little asking if we are coming back. I am a customer and a card holder, I have made a choice to spend my hard earned money at the Gap and costumer service means a lot to me. Proper customer service sends a message that a company appreciate the choice I have made in using my spending dollars at their establishment. I will not be back, to many other places sells little girl dresses.

The absolute worst experience today with Krissette. I went in to pickup an order and make a return…read more Pickup was easy enough. The return was an online order and I had the electronic receipt with the barcode ready to scan. Krissette says, no it doesn't work like that I need your phone number. Not understanding why since I had a receipt, but I gave it to her. Nothing comes up so she asks me for my email address. I again tried to tell her that she can scan the barcode I had instead of all this hassle. She begins arguing with me so I give her my email address. She then tells me I'll get $3 dollars for the item because it's the current selling price. I tell her no and asked to speak to a manager, as I had a receipt that showed I paid $15 and the return was within the 90 days store policy. She tells me she's the manager. After several back and forth she finally agrees to scan the electronic receipt but act as if the scanner couldn't move to scan my phone without me giving it to her. She then asked me if I wanted to come back when the manager was there to complete my transaction! Ma'am you told me you were the manager!! She finally scans the receipt and the purchase of course comes up with the price I paid. She then says, are you happy now? "Now get out the way so I can take care of the other customers waiting." I told her this would have been a 30 second transaction if she would have scanned the barcode on the receipt to begin with. Her attitude, customer service and knowledge was extremely poor and a horrible representation of a children's clothing brand. I'm so glad I did not have my child with me to experience such rudeness, ignorance and unprofessionalism. Carters please do a better job training your employees! Krissette is an extremely poor representation of Carters!
