They checked in to make sure I was finding everything okay. I found a few things I was interested in and tried them on. I loved one item. J.crew Factory is great for their basics but they really have a lot of cute dresses, skirts, pants and more. The quality is a little different from the non factory store, but I've still been happy with items I've purchased. There is definitely room for shopping at both. I went to the counter to make my purchase. The cashier was helping someone else so another employee came to help me. He was really welcoming, upbeat and helpful. My sale was quick and easy. I had a terrible experience at the San Marcos store and haven't been back since so I was a little apprehensive. After this visit, I will definitely return in the future. The service level is what I am accustomed to having been both a J Crew and Factory store customer for years. As an added bonus it's much closer to me than the other locations.

Alternative retail is a warehouse clearance store that host sales from various partners that…read moreinclude Vuori, Olukai, North Face and more. They have several locations- including Riverside, Tustin, and Carlsbad. For more information about Alternative Retail sales, you can sign up for their newsletter. Many sales require you to sign up in advance for a particular date and time, otherwise you are on standby to get in. These sales offer great reduction on items, so if you area fan of these brands or like in kind check out their website. The Olukai sale that I recently went to, offered predominately shoes. Most people were on the hunt for sandals, as their shoes tend to be over 100 dollars. The offerings were in big boxes by size where you had to hunt and peck for shoes. The offerings did not only include sandals, but also included slippers and tennis shoes. The men shoes had a lot more variety. Beyond the Olukai brand, there were couple of other brands being offered that provided yoga wear, snow wear, and sunglasses. The experience was good as fellow customers were not agressive. The event was pretty tame. If you have interested in a brand, and you don't mind searching through boxes, then this is a good opportunity to snag a deal. Just remember there are no dressing rooms at the events.

It was also late and most stores had closed! Adriana took the information and told us she would call around the following morning to see if she could find them. I honestly didn't think it would happen and then I get a call at 11am from a Coach Store in San Francisco that the shorts are there and I can purchase online! Ummm shocked to say the least. Adriana went above and beyond and she found the shorts that are being shipped out tomorrow morning!! Great deals and free shipping! I truly appreciate the time she took to help us and hope she is rewarded for going above and beyond!!! Thank you Adriana!!!!! You are the best!!!

You've been warned: if you enter the store, you aren't likely getting out without picking up at least one or two shirts. The prices aren't ridiculous but you are paying for top quality clothing. The service is also personable and friendly. And after you blow part of your paycheck here, treat yourself to a dinner or drink at Bully's just a few steps away.

I pride myself in customer service and proper etiquette when dealing with the general public. I have now been in this store 3 times today being 12/8/22 approx. 2 pm. I have been greeted poorly every.single.time. The first 2 times I don't think the woman working even acknowledged I had walked in and today the sales associate gave a underwhelming hello and didn't ask if "I was looking for anything in particular?" "Can I help you find a Christmas gift?" "Let me know if you have any questions at all, I am here for anything you may need" and there was nothing as I left the store either "Thanks so much for coming in" "Have a great day!" Are just a few things you can say when you work in retail. If this wasn't the 3rd visit with the same treatment I wouldn't be leaving a review this thorough but I really felt the owner needs to know. They do have really cute items for purchase in there but the staff is rude and seems to maybe only cater to customers who have a certain look to them? Just a guess. Do better in the customer service department and you'd make more sales! I would have been willing to buy a necklace I saw in there today and really cute MYSTIQUE sandals if I was at least treated like an actual customer but I can't support this business.
