Beall’s Outlet Store

I shop here quite often when looking to fill in minor fun pieces to my wardrobe like socks, bathing suits, workout wear, pjs, robes, and fun accessories and sunglasses. Generally their prices are competitive with other local off price shops like TJ Maxx and Marshall’s, etc.
The cashier today must have been having an incredibly bad day as she was rude from the moment I walked in. I have a damaged shoulder and have difficulty even with easy doors. The doors here do not open automatically and I was trying to get a cart thru. Rather than help me, she stood and watched, and when I mentioned the cart had a broken wheel, she shrugged and informed to go back outside and place it back on the pavement! Hmmm. Why didn’t she do that for me. She was literally just standing there doing nothing and saw me struggle with it!
Next I poked around and the store was literally a mess. Nothing was in the right place. Everything I picked up on a hanger with my size noted was actually incorrect. One or two things wouldn’t have been a big deal, but this was a colossal mess. I gave up.
I did find a cute cup and brought it to the register. I explained how my $ 5 rewards bonus expired because they issued it to me during the holidays and it expired at the end of January but then I was not here during that period in which to use it and was there anything that could be done since it was during holiday season (and I was sent out of town for medical treatment). She wouldn’t even ask anyone. She just said TOUGH. Yup, tough. The lady behind me gasped! Then she incorrectly counted my change because my pennies through her off so se could give me back a nickel and she had to use a calculator even tho I told her the amount due, and I swore this was last time shopping here.
You don’t need to be exceptionally smart to work in a retail establishment, but a smile, a decent attitude and good manners really will take you a long way.

I visited this location for the first time yesterday and had a decent experience. The atmosphere is much like a TJ Maxx or Marshall’s – not fancy, just lower prices than you’d pay at the regular store. They have an EXCELLENT selection of jewelry that’s very competitively priced, especially earrings and necklaces; much of it is name brand (though most still costume jewelry as opposed to precious metals, though there were some of the latter at about $ 13 for earrings). The same goes for handbags/​purses – huge selection of many different styles for all seasons, though not AS competitively priced as the jewelry (most were $ 30 – 40). Also be sure to check out the clearance rack on the back side of the last row of handbags – there are some great deals to be had!
Immediately past this are sunglasses – again, a decent selection, averaging about $ 6/​pair for plastic and metal frames – and a limited selection of bath and body products (didn’t look closely at these).
I also shopped in Juniors’ clothing, which I found to be of very limited selection, picked over, and not having many great deals (lots of thin cover-​up tops for $ 13). There was a much broader selection in Medium, Large, and X-​Large sizes, so maybe others would have a decent experience.
One thing I really didn’t like was that I felt like I was being overly & suspiciously watched from the minute I set foot inside the door, especially by an older female cashier with a strong Southern dialect. I didn’t receive a greeting like the other customers, and I noticed her continually turning around and looking at me, especially while I was shopping in Jewelry. I’ll be 30 this year but I guess I look young; either way, customers should be treated with more respect than I received from this lady, regardless of age.
All in all, if you’re shopping for accessories or Medium or Large-​sized Juniors’ clothing, you may hit the jackpot, but watch out for being treated like a criminal from the moment you walk in. It’s a question as to whether the pros outweigh the cons here.
