Beall’s

I don’t come to this store too often, it’s sometimes too crowded for my taste, and it’s a bit messy on the inside. I can find a nice top or a pair of shorts that I like or something that I find interesting. It’s convenient to get to, but I’m still only giving this place two stars. I don’t truly care for this store, but I go to it whenever I’m bored.

I’m just gonna be real here. When I stop by this place, it’s usually because I feel like shopping but really don’t need to spend money. I usually wind up in the dressing room (which, UGH, don’t get me started on the dressing rooms… can we get some proper fucking hooks, people? Heaping your finds onto a bench isn’t the way to start your fitting adventure!) with my arms full of things to try on. One by one, they are all poo-​pooed, whether it be for fit, transparency, a flaw, defect, or hole, general lack of quality. Sometimes, I’ll find something that fits, looks good, and doesn’t look or feel like it’s going to fall apart the second time I wear it. So I buy it. Sometimes, I wind up with several things that meet this criteria yet I just don’t feel that owning them is worth the hassle of going through the checkout. And this is no slight against the checkout process or the employees. That bit’s fine. The clothes just aren’t worth it sometimes.
And don’t get me started on the damn shoes. Worst. Organization. EVER. Yes, this is probably due to customers being inconsiderate assholes, but there’s not even an ATTEMPT at organizing the clearance shoes. Have YOU ever tried to shop for shoes by guessing which ones are your size just by looking at them in the box? Why can’t the clearance shoes just stay with their same-​size brethren, colored dot in place, and skip that whole migraine-​inducing process.
