Kohl’s

I recently moved to Tallahassee from the Upper Midwest (where Kohl’s was founded) and was shocked at the conditions inside this store. Racks were very under-​stocked, with only a handful of items hanging from each. There were also unfolded items strewn around the men’s department. I even had to step over a *pile* of what looked like inside-​out Dockers and golf shirts to get into the fitting room. The pants were not sized, or even separated by brand/​style.
The home department was even worse. I’m a collector of Fiesta dishes, and Kohl’s is usually a great place to buy Fiesta. But the display at this Kohl’s was a disgrace! A lot of the dishes had no price sticker, and they were mixed in with the similar-​looking but obviously different Food Network dishes. They also had an entire shelf of Fiesta dishes in Chocolate, which was retired and pulled from stores over two years ago. While it might seem like a bonus to find this retired and hard-​to-​find color sitting in the local Kohl’s, the shabbiness of the rest of the store just makes it seem like nobody cared enough to pull the Chocolate dishes two years ago.
Kohl’s has a reputation in retail for having clean and well-​run stores. It’s a Midwestern thing that clearly has no meaning in the lazier corners of the South. I was truly disappointed to see that the image one of my favorite retailers has been sullied by uncaring workers and management.
