hopper22 says "Village Green a truly high class pharmacy" about Village Green - Bethesda, MD

hopper22 — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 02:44:47 GMT

This is a truly high-end pharmacy filed with all sorts of supplements and health products. It's out of the way -- not in a shopping district but in a low-rise medical complex full of doctor's offices on Cedar Ln. just north of the National Institutes of Health. You have to know it's there. It seems the place does a lot of business through its website and toll-free number (800) 869-9159.

But here you can find all sorts of vitamins, nutritional supplements, protein powders, etc. not availalbe elsewhere, including digestive aids sold only through health professionals that you can't get in standard drug stores or health food stores.

And the staff is always plentiful and eager to help you find what you're looking for among the crowded aisles. Some of the supplements are kept behind the counter, so if you don't see what you're looking for, ask. And this is strictly an apothecary -- it doesn't carry the various other supplements from batteries to dishwasher detergents and magazines you expect...

hopper22 says "Magruders will give you an average grocery experience" about Magruder's - Rockville, MD

hopper22 — Sat, 28 Nov 2009 02:31:24 GMT

The Rockville location has been doing double duty for Rockville Magruder's shoppers since the other location in downtown Rockville was torn down several years back to make way for the renovation of downtown. This location, part of a locally-owned chain, is smaller than some others in the chain but larger than some others. Magruder's doesn't seem to have a formula but rather fits its store to the real estate it's got. This site iss located on Rt. 355 north of downtown Rockville in College Park Plaza just north of Montgomery College.

The place offers your standard grocery shopping experience; nothing special about it as it is limited in size compared with the super supermarkets being built since. You'll find what you need: an adequate selection of fresh produce and meat. The store contains a seafood bar and deli but they close early. The fresh pre-cooked chickens are warm -- they keep them in an over unlike some other grocers who chill them. And they're tasty.

The store also offers a good...

lilladyericka says "Sears should shut down!" about Sears - Cincinnati, OH

lilladyericka — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:30:36 GMT

I bought a bedroom set with sheets and comforter and it was missing sheets so I returned it to customer service to exchange. They told me there was no more of the product so I requested my money back. They told me I could have a store credit! What in the world?! There comforters aren't cheap. It cost me $120 for this and they wanted to keep my money so I could probably buy yet another defective/jacked up product. I don't think so. I called corporate and got my money and will never shop there again.

lilmisssunshine says "Outstanding service & great variety of food" about Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe - West Springfield, MA

lilmisssunshine — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 22:51:31 GMT

Ye Olde Butcher Shoppe is a small butcher shop located in West Springfield, MA. We first stumbled upon this little secret when my boyfriend won a gift card here at a golf tournament/benefit. He loves his meat so we had to check it out. We went in not really looking for anything in particular & we were completely blown away by the awesome service we got. The guy behind the counter made recommendations & went through the different cuts explaining what part of the cow the steaks came from, how to cook them best and compared them each. Customers were coming in and out and all received the same kind of service. Many seemed to be regulars as they were called by name and seemed to know the staff.

Myself, I'm a little squeamish when it comes to my meat. Yes, I do enjoy eating it, but there was a time when I was vegetarian. I don't like to think about my meat or where it comes from. This place was clean and neat. The thought of it being a butcher shop never even crossed my mind. ...

darksoul says "kmart the higher priced junk" about Kmart - Springfield, MO

darksoul — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 22:01:39 GMT

Im looking for a 32 to 42 inch HD TV screen, and was suprised to see the prices of other stores for that "size" of tv screens on much smaller sets. Almost $400 bucks for a 27 inch tv is very high. Plus the rude staff. Several of the dvd's mentioned as being "On special;" were out. I asked if I could get a "rain check" for the dvd I wanted. The punk siad "It don't rain in the store." Their food selection is limited. Food that needs to be refrigerated area is smaller, and many things I would want, I have to go to the wal mart accross the street for. Their clothes and it seems everything is higher priced there. Kmart, I hope; will go out of business soon. AND take higher priced sears with you....

ReviewWhenINeedTo says "Snobby snoots run the joint... take your stuff to Monroeville" about Once Upon a Child - Pittsburgh, PA

ReviewWhenINeedTo — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:33:00 GMT

Just two (of the several) stories we have about this place...

- Took in a basket of clothes and they didn't take much (which is fine, they can only take what they need, right?). But the snooty owner said in a very condescending tone "you don't have the sets together..." And when we told her "but we don't buy sets, just individual pieces," she resorted to telling us the items were also dirty and in poor condition, which is rubbish,. We keep these clothes in VERY good condition. If someone tells me "I'm sorry we just can't take these items right now, but thank you," that would be 1000 times better than the down-your-nose attitude we get from those women (especially the owner) every time we walk in there (not just to sell things).

- I arrived a few minutes before opening and waited in my car for the store to open. When I saw the owner (same sunny twit from above) opening up the door, I unloaded two wheeled baskets from the trunk. I saw her hold the door open in what appeared to be a gesture...

cry4adonai says "What a beautiful transformation!" about Kohl's - Round Lake Beach, IL

cry4adonai — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 17:24:58 GMT

I live in Round Lake Beach and heard that our Kohl's store has remodeled. They had this "Grand Opening" which I thought was silly because the store was already there and had not enlarged it's size. However, I went in there today and I was very impressed. They had Kohl's normal great selection of clothes, but they had remodelled the store in amazing ways! The dressing room in the juniors section is beautiful! The have cushioned seats for husbands to sit (or moms :)) while the ladies are getting dressed. It looks like the dressing rooms in fancy brand name stores. The service desk used to be in the back, but they moved it to the front. No more dragging my five year old to the back of the store to return anything! I know it sounds silly, but even their bathrooms were immaculate. New shiny counters and stalls and not a scrap of toilet paper on the floor. I was even asked 3 times if I needed any assistance! My kind of store!

jenny4christ says "Best store for teachers!" about The School Box - Kennesaw, GA

jenny4christ — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 14:54:48 GMT

The School Box is a great place for teachers and parents!!! Teachers can stock up on fun, hands-on learning material and decorations for their classrooms. They have games, books, puzzles, posters, stickers, stamps, puppets, manipulatives, bulletin board decor, etc. just to name a few. Everything a teacher needs, especially starting out the first year!

Parents can get educational games and toys for their children of all ages to have fun playing and learning! There is even a Christian section for Bible School teachers and a section for Girl Scouts.

They frequently mail out coupons or have special sales going on so you can always get a deal even though some of their items are pricey.

It's a fun store to look around in, especially for teachers. Come with a budget, otherwise you might want to buy everything in the store!

There are several locations in GA. Check it out at their website: www.theschoolbox.com.

jeanineM says "Bravo - Enzo!" about Enzo Bridal - manalapan, NJ

jeanineM — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 23:30:03 GMT

i want everyone to know i had the most wonderful experience at enzo bridal. Almost everyone at my wedding asked me... where did you get that gown? They all absolutely loved it which made me feel wonderful!

Lets all agree, all brides realize that enzo has the biggest selection and best prices anywhere! I would know i received many nick names for my barging over the course of time i spent looking for my gown.

Further more i think that Bridezilla comments should be kept were they originated... with the Bridezilla!

Maybe these people dont want you to look the best that you can look! FOOD FOR THOUGHT!?!?!?!?

          The group of negative reviews you might have read represents just a small fraction of 1% of our brides.

My family warned me about Enzo Bridal when i began to shop...mind you none of them even stepped foot beyond their doors..They said if you go there your looking to be misrable......Soo what i did being the kind of person i am i went their out of curiousity to see for myself what the fuss was about. Upon my entering Enzo's i was greeted by the manager she introduced herself and the girl that was to be helping me in my search for my gown. i thought okay so far... not too bad. then i began to look around and saw how large the selection of gowns was as a matter of fact they had the most gowns ive ever seen in one store. I was in shopping haven! Needless to say later that week i brought back my maid of honor and my mother and purchased a gown. They treated me the best out of all the bridal shops that i had visited and had the most to offer me as a new bride. i recieved countless discounts that in all paid for my gown and more i dont know how they do it but im more then willing to accept all...

corinneagain says "Never, ever go to Proms and Promises. Do yourself a favor." about Proms and Promises - Kenmore, WA

corinneagain — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 17:50:58 GMT

My sister got married a while ago and I just walked in to the closest dress shop that I could find to get my dress altered: WORD TO THE WISE: don't, don't, don't do that- there is some sort of evil, trans-dimensional portal involved with weddings, so you should get good recommendations and possibly some holy water before giving your dress over to someone who obviously thinks you are an uncouth troglodyte who doesn't know when she's being messed with. All I needed was a one inch hem on the dress and for some reason this one inch took three months and when I went in to try it on the woman at the shop said "Oh, I decided not to hem the underskirt, I guess I'll have to keep it for another month so I can do that." After I explained that I had a wedding to go to in a week she very kindly said "That will be an extra rush fee, then." Huh. In the end I believe I was charged a dollar for each stitch of the hem and I still give the building a nasty look whenever I drive by.

elizabeth498225 says "its understandable to be stressed but dont be a bridezilla" about Enzo Bridal - manalapan, NJ

elizabeth498225 — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 16:11:22 GMT

I came into Enzo's looking to find the dress of my dreams and with out a doubt i found and purchased it. I experiance outstanding coustomer service and to be quite honest dont understand why people are trashing them. Enzo bridal went out of their way to make my day special for me with all the gifts i recieved it was like getting my gown for free. Especialy with the economy the way it is, they work with you inorder to help you afford the gown and services that you really want. If you treat people with respect they're bound to show you the same and girls just because your haveing a rough time dont take it out on the people trying to make your day the best it can be!

ApriBambino says "Christmas Tree Shops,'Don't you just love a bargain'? Yes I do !" about Christmas Tree Shops - Several locations throughout the Northeastern U.S., MA

ApriBambino — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 16:07:09 GMT

Christmas Tree Shops

Growing up in Massachusetts and spending summers on Cape Cod, I'd visit Christmas Tree Shops on a regular basis, and still do. These shops originated on The Cape with stores in West Yarmouth, Falmouth and Hyannis. Their slogan is "Don't you just love a bargain"? well who doesn't.

Since then, they've branched out considerably and are now in many locations in the Northeast which include the following states: Connecticut, Delaware, Indiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York,Ohio,Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Vermont.

Christmas Tree Shops carry a wide variety of goods from housewares and home accents to Gormet foods and tons of holiday decorations for every season. It's a great place to find gifts at very reasonable prices, they also carry plenty of selections of gift wrap, cards, bags, boxes ...everything you could possibly need to wrap up just about anything.

They have a wonderful book selection, many best sellers,...

amywill5918 says "Great store, great prices, one rude employee" about Albertsons LLC - Albuquerque, NM

amywill5918 — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 08:31:51 GMT

First, I want to start by saying that I love Albertson's. They have a great selection and great everyday low prices as well as great deals.

However, my review is on one of their employees. On Halloween, everyone dressed up - I think this is great - to get into the spirit of the holidays. Especially for employees who don't get to enjoy it with time off.

My cashier though was wearing what I felt was a very tacky and mean spirited costumes. Scary because there are too many mean, evil kids out there and here was proof that things don't change when people supposedly grow up.

She had a kick me sign on her back, a dunce cap and, as she told this bespectacled customer - she had been wearing glasses (because of course, all nerdy kids wear glasses) but they got too heavy. Look at me, her costume said, I'm playing the geeky kid.

Child hood can be difficult for those whose parents dressed them badly, or were too poor for nice clothes or actually cared about their studies or were otherwise socially...

akalantzis says "Stay away from the Pony Shop" about The Pony Shop - Evanston, IL

akalantzis — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 02:25:55 GMT

I'm writing to warn people about the Pony Shop.

A salesman sold my wife an ill-fitting men's bike under the assurance that it would be properly fitted to her after she purchased it. It was the end of the season, and it was very obvious to me that the salesman was looking to unload any of last season's bikes.

So we bought the bike, my wife rode it a couple of times and as you can imagine, she was experiencing considerable discomfort. We brought back the bike to the same salesman who sold us a new bike seat and let us know he actually didn't know how to fit people. He told us to come back in a couple weeks so that Lou, the owner could help us.

I called Lou a couple weeks later to schedule a fitting - he was very uninterested to say the least. Lou's fitting consisted of a thirty second look at my wife on the bike and a free change of the handlebars to a heaver (ie cheaper) set. As you can imagine, that didn't work and when we called to let him know, he proceeded to diagnose...

JayeCarden says "Walmart is the place to find cheap things!" about Walmart - All locations, Nationwide

JayeCarden — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 18:16:22 GMT

Walmart is a store that needs no introduction. Everyone is familular with the stores and everyone has shopped there. Walmart is indeed one of the best places to find a good deal on an item. Also of course if it's a Walmart Superstore you shop at then you can get deals on anything from DVDs to groceries.

If you are looking for an American made product, you might find it hard to get at Walmart. In my experiences shopping there I would find mostly Chinese products or things made in other countries. I am always more interested in American made, but still find myself at Walmart alot. Sometimes those good deals at Walmart are hard to resist.

Overall I do enjoy my shopping experiences at Walmart. I almost always get my groceries from them because of the sales and deals they offer. Even though I shop there alot I never buy meat or produce from Walmart.

In all I would suggest Walmart for someone trying to save some money. I would not reccomend Walmart for someone buying meat or produce, or who wants...
