Burlington Coat Factory

This store is so neat and clean the associates are super friendly. The store has been cleaned up alot in the last year!

As a previous reviewer posted, yes, this place has a huge assortment of cheap, tacky clothes. It has in turn attracted a huge assortment of cheap, tacky people. Sunday afternoons are awesome if you want to people watch, because you will find the worst stereotypes of every kind of person imaginable. Cashiers are not always attentive nor customer service oriented. Avoid the weekends and your experience will be less painful.
That aside, during the week is the best time to go, as the staff can be more helpful during that time. On the weekends, forget about it. Expect to wait in line and listen to the cashiers talk about their drunken escapades while paying little to no attention to the customers. Expect to have customers in front of you in line argue about prices, your line unexpectedly shut down, and cashiers shifted from check-​out to check-​out.
The only saving grace to this store is you can find a lot of awesome bargains, and their baby section is the best in town. Need a crib or stroller? This is the place to go. Or, want some trashy lingerie tried on by at least a dozen disease-​ridden girls? How about the ugliest possible hooker shoes imaginable? BURLINGTON!
In the past 5 years this place has SERIOUSLY gone downhill.

Every single time I have gone into this store (10 times?) it has been unbelievably messy. The «great prices» don’t matter because you literally cannot find anything since everything is tossed everywhere. The employees are no where to be found and the few times I was able to find something to buy I waited 15+ minutes in line since only one or two registers were open. This place is an abomination and it’s disgusting.

If you want to go to a store where it’s crazy hard to find anything then this is your place! I seriously CAN’T believe how messy this store is. I always wonder what in the heck the employees there are doing because clearly they are not doing their job. At all. No one offers you help, employees just walk by or are standing around talking. Everytime I have gone in, there have been clothes ALL over the floor, if you have a shopping cart then it’s going to get stuck on the clothes and hangers. Employees just always walk by the messes and never pick up anything. It’s kind of sad because I don’t even work there but yet I find myself actually picking up clothes and other items and putting them back or organizing just because it bothers me so much. Can’t forget to mention the shoe department. It’s the trashiest (see photo I posted) everything is out of place, boxes and shoes all over the floor and you basically can’t find anything. A lady even said to me «how are you supposed to find anything with shit all over the place?» I just can’t understand how a store can be that ridiculousy messy and get away with it, I thought managers wanted stores to be presentable and organized so people will want to come back. I even sent an email to the store complaining about how trashy the store was and she sent me a coupon in mail and obviously the email I sent complaining didn’t do any good because it was still awful the next time I went in…

I went back to do some basic shirt-​shopping and look for shoes. The staff was fairly rude and was standing around talking the entire 30 minutes I was browsing through the area when there were clothes all over the ground.
Check out here has always been a headache, but it seems like in order to consolidate it you’re now required to wait in a maze-​like switchback filled with impulse buys while waiting for a TV to say ‘Check out available at register x.’
Awful.

if you have alot of time to surf around their clothes you will find some neat and reasonable items from here… bought some summer clothes here last year and I am still using them. You might be able to even find branded shirts and shoes here that are not as much as when you get it from the mall (Macys/​JC Penny)
Shop shop shop… just love shopiing.
