I meant to say, I did get one of the pimp cups the reviewer was laughing over, and my husband was like “what are you going to do with that??” I was going to give it to our only remaining single guy friend but now my husband thinks it’s a riot, and I can’t find the receipt, so it stays with us…one tip I have is, ask the staff to staple the receipt to the tag of something you’re not sure about/might be returning. It might cause a mini riot at the register because people get very impatient if there’s a line, also a lot of times they separate people into “credit only” and “cash only” etc with no explanation, but still…oh I’ve gotten some great luggage. Oh and none of my designer items are fake, I used to work in fashion and I can tell…at least not the Calvin Klein, Laundry, Maxx Studio, BCBG Generation, Ralph Lauren, clothes…the fluffy white Ralph Lauren towels I’ve gotten are super soft and awesome. If stuff is dirty and you’re sure you want it, they will take off 10%. I think trucks deliver at least twice a week so there’s always new stuff (addicting…). Got an Ed Hardy clock for $10 that retails for $30 on the internet, exact same one….ok to bed now! Hope this helped

hi, i have a ross that i can actually walk to, we live just inside the border of really nice suburbs and the gritty city. it’s incredible addicting. my latest finds are: just tonight, a gorgeous black “Laundry” evening gown for $50 in size 0 that retails for $295. it is incredible and i do have to get it shortened (i’m petite) but it will be well worth it. i’ve also gotten 3 calvin klein dresses, each for $50, one elegant grey one for work that people drooled over and 2 for going out, one in black one in blue. i got a “Marilyn Monroe” bustier that also slims me and that’s why i went back tonight, to try and find another one but didn’t find one and instead got other amazing camisoles. Also tonight found some BCBG awesome jersey tops that retail for $39, for $9.99. Have found tons of cute clothes for my girls and my son, got him Ralph Lauren shorts that are really cute and unique. Great housewares dept., tons of baskets and Ralph Lauren towels, and tonight I also got new chair pads for $5.99 each that are adorable. Ok, I spend a lot of $ each time I go there, and you have to return things immediately if you don’t have the receipt, otherwise things get marked down…and the store IS disorganized and dirty, but it’s totally worth it. Not a great place to take kids because I worry about them there, it’s a little bit trashy, so I only bring them when I absolutely have to and always during the day. I always find something great for $2.99 and $3.99. There’s also a TJ Maxx about a block away but they are more expensive, I shop both and TJ Maxx is much easier with returns (they don’t mark down) but Ross always has amazing finds. Great toys/presents for the kids’ friends. Great designer stuff, I have a closet stuffed with designer things from there. I got an adorable Maxx Studio top there that everyone compliments me on. Great Levis for $4.99, no joke, that’s like free. Oh and a pimp cup that says “Playa,” for Halloween and gags. You do have to search thru racks, stuff is never put back, the staff is not very pleasant usually and uneducated, but it’s totally worth it. Even if I were a billionaire I would still shop there (kinda sad, I know)….but I love finding a bargain, it’s fun! You gotta go…

Ross is a disrespecter of their employees over 60. They make up any ol crap they can to get rid of them. Wonder what will happen to the management when they get over 60? The chopping block my friend. There is a particular District Manager in Dallas … thinks he’s cock of the walk. Likes to take his prejudice out on older women employees. Anyone upset other than me? How do I have this info? Well, there are lots of employees that have many tales to tell.

I went to Ross in Salt Lake City near the church and it was clean, well stocked and beautiful! I commented on the pleasantness on my way out to the cashier and she looked at me like I was crazy. Those Mormons are some tidy folks.

When I got back home to Denver, I was still all dreamy about my previous visit and had a heart full of hope for my local Ross. When I got there I saw that the front door had been shattered by a random thug, and you could hear the manager shouting at customers over the loud speaker. Needless to say, I didn’t shop there.

Oh…my god. I will never complain about Value City again. I have a whole new appreciation and respect.

That bathroom sign filled me with a rage I rarely experience.

“We got a black president and this mess is still goin’ on?!”
hahaha that had me on the floor
did she reeeally say that

i work in what would be the equivelant of Ross over here in england except we sell just clothes. im a poor uni student and so the store is a Mecca. i dont go to expensive stores much just like u too but ‘cheap’ stores do sell some fly shit, u ALWAYS find some jems……shout out to my £20 fake leather plastic jacket. but our store doesnt have rude employees tho its just too laid back. like we lean on things and dont do shit.

I thought that these things happened at the Ross here because I’m in the South….and I saw that cup at the Ross down the street from my house last week!

We don’t have Ross stores here, but I’ve heard good things about them. So I hit up one on the Las Vegas strip a few years ago…it was everything you mentioned above, well maybe not that bad. However, it was dim and dingy and was not comparable to TJMaxx and Marshalls here at home.

lol @ the glue trap stuck to one leg. That’s gotta be good for 10 or 15 percent off. It’s all about irregular Polo gear from Marshall’s though.
