| - This place has changed since the high school years, yes that is for sure. Although, I suppose I have too and what I would be caught wearing is a little different than it was back in the day. I am also no longer a size 4, so maybe that is a factor. That being said it is a consignment store. So hunting is required. This is not The Loft, or Dillards, or Target. You can't just expect to walk in and everything be put in a neat, cute orderly display. So if you are willing to hunt then there are some deals to be found; however, you must be a shopper that knows her product in order to get a deal here. They are selling random clothes that have sold to them that the original owner got at Ross. And they are selling most of them USED for nearly the same price you would get them for at Ross NEW. So keep an eye out for that. But as long as you know (at least relatively well) your brands, your tags from other stores, and your prices you should be just fine here.
As far as the staff is concerned, I have run into in the past the unreasonably snooty teenage to 20 something punk (reverse stereotyping I guess....don't worry kids, I used to think people going around wearing stuff from The Gap were square too...then I became one) Frankly these attitudes are the reason I have not been back in ages, but I had a gift certificate I had to use up and the budget was tight, so hey free shopping day! I must say that the staff today was quite pleasant. Everyone I encountered was smiling, nice, accommodating, and had something freaky called a personality!
I still would not put this store high on my list, unless I needed something a lil different. I will stick to my Ross if I want it cheap... But for the most part it looks like Buffalo, albeit much pricier than I remember, and less "wearable" choices than teenage me thought they had, is actually trying to be a little more customer service oriented than in the past.
So hey, go for it! Just be prepared to hunt!
