| - there's an odd dichotomy of retail paradiso and inferno going on here.
yes, i found a really pretty linen dress for $16 and 2 casual cotton sundresses for $12 each, but it involved at least an hour of digging through piles and piles of crap that erred to extremes of "street corner hoochie mama" or "my 50 yr old mama's mama". fantastic deals are well worth the effort but i dont recommend it if you're in a hurry.
like the previous reviewers, i found the place to be rather well organized and not the total chaos of some of the other ross stores, but my experience was somewhat soured by the language barrier between myself and the fitting room attendant. i asked her to "please hold these for me", to which she sweetly replied "no ingles". ok, that's cool. i can be creative. i put the reject items in her hand and pointed out to the floor, "these can go back out there". and i put my hold items on her little counter with both hands on top, "these should stay here".
so while i tried on a few more things, she sent everything back onto the floor, where i had to hunt them down again (one of which disappeared; oh little red floral sundress - why didst thou foresake me?) while sporting that damn vertical line between my furrowed brows.
i'd be remiss if i didnt shout massive kudos for the home section - particularly the smashing deals on bedding. i mean great brand names, high thread counts, and natural fibers. and REALLY pretty stuff if you dig the decorative brocades and such (like i do).
points off for a shoe section that was the only chaotic mess in the store. and can someone explain to my bigfoot ass why there's a whole section marked "11-13" and it contains almost all 10s and 3 pairs of 11s, no 12s, and no 13s?
