Down with Kohl's!!!

[XDeSuEhTX]

Nope. Sorry, I like Kohl's.

I used to like their toy department before it was pared down to just baby toys. The have become more disappointing since then. They need to do what Sears did - add a grocery section. Then they can compete with Sears Grand.

THAT'S BECAUSE KOHL'S APPEALS TO WOMEN! It's a department store that appeals to women. That's why you think it's so BORING. It is supposed to be a department store. If YOU don't like that store, go shop somewhere else. Plain and simple as that! If you have nothing nice to say about KOHL'S, shut the F#@% up! And besides that, Kohl's is owned by U.S. senator Herb Kohl.

Kohl's is like a big-box Sears, more so than Target.

The Kohl's website calls their stores "department stores," Kohl's anchors many shopping malls in Wisconsin, along with the ShopKo discount stores. YES...Kohl's is a department store, but it is not a traditional department store.

I don't care for kohls they seem a bit too expensive on their clothing department for me to really bother though once every year or two I will buy a shirt from them but that's about it. I guess im just the type of person who would rather just shop at kmart or walmart.

[IGA/Kmart Is Forever!]

i like them i just dont liek teh fact that they had to take over so many former stiores

I have never been a Kohl's person at all. I prefer JCPenney as my main preferred department store. At the same time, they did take over a Kmart store around me that closed back in 2003 as well as an Ames store that shut down in 1990 from Ames's first bankruptcy.

If JCPenney does go under, I will definitely take my local JC's 5star OUTLET Store over Kohl's.

One Kohl's store near me is an EXCELLENT store (very clean, well-stocked, plenty of help)
while the other is a dingy, understaffed dump.

The difference in store management, no doubt.

That goes with any store. In my area - Connecticut - Family Dollar is run-down/a mess in Bristol, Plainville, and one in New Britain, while the one that opened in Southington over the summer is really nice. Then again Southington in a  much nice town than those other 3 towns. Then again when Family Dollar briefly had 2 stores in Bristol the one downtown was run-down while the other on Route 6 was really nice. That one closed after only 5 years, saying they couldn't compete with the Big Lots in the same plaza. Ironically these days Big Lots is struggling.

Kohl's in my view suffers from a serious lack of consistency.

There are two Kohl's locations near my home.  One is a bright, shiny, well-stocked,
clean, organized and well-run store.  The other is an absolute disaster area.

Hard to believe they are part of the same company, and are likely reporting
to the same DM.

My Mom ordered 6 pairs of un-mentionables from Kohls.com and they split the order in half. 3 pairs were delivered yesterday by UPS. The other 3 are supposed to come by tomorrow by FED EX.  ??? ??? ??? ??? ???

Customer service sucks. Went to the jewelry department at the Plainville, Connecticut location to look at a watch. The lady was waiting on another customer. We were the only 2 customers at jewelry department. While I was waiting two more customers showed up. When the lady was done with the customer she waited on the other two customers instead of me. I walked out of the store without buying anything muttering the words "This is complete bullfrickin stuff" as I left.

Yes, Kohl's has MEDIOCRE and OVERRATED written all over it, especially in Wisconsin, where they are based. They are trying to copy Sears and JCPenney. We can see through their smoke and mirrors.:mad:

I kind of blame Kohl's for why Sears and JCPenney are failing!

[Retail Fan+ (Justin Hill)]

They're also the reason why some malls in the Midwest are doing better than others, but still, Kohl's is the "glue" keeping some of those malls together along with the Shopko stores and Target stores anchoring those malls, while other malls, which are losing Macy's, Sears or JCPenney are struggling.

So this witch working in the Jewelry department at the Plainville, Connecticut store today was telling people she can't ring them up at her register unless they were buying jewelry. What a lying bitch. She should be fired for not doing her job. She is supposed to ring up any customer - not just customers buying jewelry. If I'm shopping at Walmart or Target I can go to any register in the store to get my purchase rung up. The same at bigger stores such as JCP and Sears.

There was a particular style of ring that my wife wanted for Christmas. We'd found it in Boscov's & JC Penney, among other places. Last weekend we were in Kohl's and since they had what she wanted I bought it. The jewelry clerk wasn't extremely friendly but she did give us an extra discount that we weren't expecting. Unlike the other stores, they couldn't have it sized for us so I took it to an independent jeweler. (I felt bad about not buying it there but they didn't have what she wanted.) The store owner asked me the value & when I told her what we paid she couldn't believe how inexpensive it was. It likely will cost more to size it than it did to buy!
