Macy’s

Iv come to this Macy’s a few times i don’t live close so I come here when I come from out of town. Iv never has a bad experience it’s always been fine and if you go to the make up counter the ladies that work there are amazing and super helpful. I actually haven’t been to a Macy’s in a big city (I live in astoria) but this one does just fine for me.

Here we are again, nearly a year later. Still an old lady store. Heck I’m 60 and I swear I was the youngest person shopping in this store. It’s not vibrant, not many helpful sales people… it’s rather depressing on a sunny day. Lesson learned, never going back. Donald! Martha! Come quick!!! ;-)

Just because it is an outlet or a clearance centre, doesn’t necessarily mean that the savings will be an amazing deal. When the listed original price is already outrageously high, taking 50 to 75 percent off of it, still can leave the product costing more than you would normally pay for a comparable item. Our disappointment with our first visit to the Three Rivers Mall in Kelso, WA was further impacted by the lack of good deals offered at the Macy’s Clearance Centre. Even with some racks being offered at 75 percent off the already reduced by 50 percent off price, we still couldn’t find anything to really entice us, nor did the at least 5 other customers who walked out empty handed while we were there. When the price for a simple cotton button down shirt marked down by 70 percent is still $ 46 bucks, there is a problem. Some items were just laughable. Karl Lagerfeld «faux leather» fingerless gloves were of such a cheap quality, even the worst Taiwanese sweatshop would be ashamed to add their QC number to it. I have seen better uses for vinyl on Vanilla Ice LP’s. Some of the styles and colour pairings would make the blind cringe. Many of the items were not even garage sale worthy. Lots to look at, but nothing really worth purchasing.
Loud and inappropriate music booming over the speakers must be some sort of subliminal marketing tool, but thankfully, we both had our shots and were immune to its enchanting, hypnotic effects. The sales clerk was borderline polite, but still oozed a certain snottiness. I am sure her employment isn’t the ideal that she had hoped for her post-​menopause years, but come on honey, you are the one working with your name on your shirt scrawled with an easily removable Daisy Label Maker tape. Don’t get pissy with me because the Macy’s corporation won’t memorialize your employment permanently with a 30 cent plastic name badge. May I recommend a side of employment counseling with your HRT?
The verdict = sad & dismal

This reminds me of Everett Macy’s…which I refer to as Macy’s «Lite». because they are light on selection. My purpose was to see which makeup lines they carry. Hold on to your knickers girls… Lancome, Estee Lauder and Clinique. «ahem». that’s it.
I guess this was to be expected with tax free shopping just an hour down the road.

This is one of the only stores I still frequent in the Three Rivers Mall. It’s smaller than a lot of the other Macy’s, but has been improving and getting more products in. The employees aren’t all that friendly, would be nice to get greeted are asked if I need help.
