I rarely go there, but I rarely buy clothes. But they do have some nicer stuff than Wal-Arget has. And they always have good coupons somewhere. The President is a fink. |

The house I was born in, in Bloomington, is now a parking lot for Mall ofor America. I shopped there once, a few years ago. Way too big. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

Kohls, at least the one here, does deceptive pricing. They mark an artificially high price on something, then slash it via coupons or whatever gimmick that week to make you think it's a deal. A lot of furniture stores do the same thing. I think it's crap merchandising, so I generally don't shop at stores that structure that way.

Pacomartin Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 1068 Posts: 12569 | The Phillipsburg Mall is featured in this "Dead Mall Series" which was shot 2.5 years ago when the Kohl's, Sears, and Bonton's. Now it just has a Kohl's and an antique store. This video is pretty dull so I would only watch a few seconds. |

I think the Walmart superstore concept that started around 1990 had a lot to do with killing malls. You can buy everything but lumber at a Walmart, why would you want or need to go to a mall. Just this weekend I bought paint, underwear, bird suet, tomato plants, a new keyboard, and all my groceries at Walmart. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I ordered a knife set online and it was such utter crap, so embarrassingly bad, I took it back to the store for a refund. First and last time I was ever in Kohl's. It was all minorities and old people, like me. All the stuff I looked at was hugely overpriced compared to Target and Walmart. There has to be a gimmick to shopping there. The knives were the quality of a carnival prize, shoddy, like they were toys. And there was a huge line at the service dept of people returning stuff, and it was in March, not the week after Xmas. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

This was my experience too, and I'll never go back. I was searching for a particular brand of comfy T-shirt, and had just been to Walmart, where I bought a 5-pack of boxer-briefs for $9. Kohl's had the exact same package priced at $35, but "everything in the store" was on sale for 20% off. I could save another 10% by applying for the Kohl's credit card. I didn't buy anything. |

That's what I said. I was looking at a freezer online and Kohl's had exactly the same freezer as Amazon and Target, only it was 30% more. All their stuff is like that. Fingerhut is the same way, but they market to people who can't get credit anywhere. Kohl's must be the same. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

rxwine Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 189 Posts: 18755 | I worked in a small department store after high school for the summer, and even though we had lots of stuff marked discounted there were only a few items at a time which were really a good sales price. They hope people pick up some other items while buying the one item they came in for. You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really? |
