UGGHHHH!! . When in…read morea small town, the shopping options are limited. However, I chose Belk because I thought that they might have a better selection of clothing than the other local stores. I was specifically looking for some cute tops in lighter fabrics. However, Belk has always had a poor record when it comes their "women's" clothing options. Everything appears to be shaped like a tent, splashed with a garish graphic print and constructed of cheap materials. I really think that some of their designers are just a room full of grandmas who sew clothing when they run out of quilting materials. Their dressing room was absolutely disgusting with clothing left in the rooms and floors desperately needing to be cleaned. If they would simply place a return rack outside of the dressing room, customers would place their unwanted clothing on the racks instead of leaving them in the dressing room. They set the tone for their unkempt dressing room and messy department. Overall their ladies clothing departments were very crowded with too many racks stuffed with clothing that needed to be better sorted and organized. I found it difficult to freely browse because of all the clutter. Instead of clearing away what they already had, they were actually adding more to the mess. After striking out with the clothing, I decided to check out their shoes but this too was frustrating because they don't carry many quality brands and what they had on display was just not of interest to me. I can say with confidence that today was my last visit to any Belk, anywhere!

I like the Belk store to run in and get a gift or last minute item…read more I was pleased to see the store opened after the COVID 19 rules allowed "non-essential item" stores to open. They are definitely practicing social distancing. They are counting people entering and exits the doors. All employees are wearing masks. The check out counters and credit card machine are wiped clean after each customer. There is hand sanitizer located at the entrance on a table and at all check out counters. The employees are very kind at Belk. Seems I saw a lot of new faces when I walked in. I've been familiar with their employees for many years. I hope the long-term employees are still there. The best thing I like about Belk are the online sales. Download their app and get the latest emails on their sales through your email. You'll miss a lot of money saving coupons if you don't. Also when you use your Belk card you easily earn Belk Bucks to spend online or on the store. Please remember that if the store doesn't have the size you need, just ask an associate to check other stores and the store will mail it to you at no cost. The associate will check online inventory and then verify by calling the store. By the way, they discontinued a lot of Polo items; however, they are online and at terrific prices. This is what small town Thomasville has to offer, so they do their best in these trying times of online sales versus brick & mortar.
