Rooster In_Yah_Throat

There comes a time in every-mans life where he contemplates his own meaning and existence. I reached this moment of self-realization just today as I settled onto the commode at the Closet Mentor. It started as I entered their doors. Why was I here? This is clearly a Women’s store and I didn’t see any signs or window decorations that indicated that a man would enjoy his time within these walls. Seemed like the place a woman would drag a man and ask how this or that looked while he perused his cell phone for the latest sport scores. I suppose if I were a man that liked to dress like a lady maybe I would enjoy myself here. I have always thought the idea of a wearing skirt in certain situations would be extremely useful and time saving. Say that you are at a music festival and need to quickly urinate in a port-a-potty but don’t want to set down your beer and giant foam peace sign. I could however never walk in heals. I have extremely weak ankles and due to my weight, I fear that I would certainly break an ankle if I ever tried to walk in those contraptions. Beauty is pain I guess. No, I am a man that needs a good solid footing. Sneakers for this ole’ chap. I have sort of a clomp-along type walk and I am very heavy on my flat feet. These attributes would make me a terrible candidate for high heals. I wonder how do women walk in high heals in the mud? Toes only I presume. Just then I realized that I had been standing in the doorway for quite sometime contemplating wearing ladies things and the dynamics of walking in the mud. I felt that it was time to find the lavatory and have a wee. I had several large lemonades at Chik-fila and felt the need to release some of the tension that was being held in my nether regions. I made for the door that I thought would lead to the bathroom. There were only two doors and one of which said “employees only”. I found the other door locked though. I asked the nice lady behind the desk if they had a public restroom and she said, “Yes, let me open one up for you”. I followed her and she was gracious enough to open a single room that contained only a commode. No urinal. There was however a locked door which gave me the upmost privacy. As I entered I thought that maybe instead of just a wee, I would have a poo as well. The toilet appeared adequately clean and the only sign of uncleanliness was some toilet paper that was on the floor beside the commode where I am sure someone placed it previously on the seat in an attempt to isolate their bums from and unsightly diseases that maybe lurking on the seat. It is a well-known fact that most bathroom toilet seats have fewer bacteria per square inch than the ice that is given out in fast food restaurants. But alas, that is beside the point. I settled on to the seat and then I had my moment of self-realization, my moment of clarity so to speak. The door was locked because she thought that I was a thief. That I was going to grab one of the purses and make off with it hidden inside of my trousers. Maybe this type of situation was necessary for the type of clientele that comes here. It certainly was a view of the management towards the average customer. Why would they institute a lock system if there hadn’t been a problem that needed to be solved? I don’t think that someone spoke up at then end of a meeting whenever they asked, “does anyone have any questions”? and said “I purpose we stop what we are doing to let people into the restroom. Also I move to remove the restroom sign and make it a secret bathroom that will only be revealed to those that ask”. Overall the bathroom was okay. Nothing crazy but you do have to ask for the key, which is a hassle. Toilet paper is standard and the hand paper towel dispenser is mounted crookeder than a dogs hind leg. It is also placed so that when you go to wash your hands it immediately throws paper at you. I give this bathroom a 6.49 out of 10. A type 5 on the Bristol Stool chart.

Thieves!!! Sellers Beware! I took my mother in to sell some of her clothing, many of these items still had price tags on and were brand new. When we went back to pick up these items they were an hour late giving them back to us and did not return all of her items. In fact, it was obvious that they intended to keep the basket they did not return because all of the clothes were on hangers when brought in and were folded up when given back. Also, the items that were not returned were all of the items with price tags still on them and the most expensive pieces. When confronted about this problem, all they did was just shrugged there shoulders. I have NEVER had an experience as shady as this with any company. Next step is contacting the BBB! Whatever you do, do not take your clothing here, they will offer you next to nothing and steal what they can.

This location has the largest selection of comfortable classy clothing at a great price! People were very nice. Liby was fabulous. So nice to go to a shop and not be ignored. We were greeted pleasantly but not like the staff was a bunch of robots. Still cant get over how many great items there were. Rows and rows of good clean quality clothing. Lots of recognizable brand names. Sizes ranged from XS to 3X and maternity. Clothes, shoes, bags...wow! Dressing rooms were well attended. Store was clean and had a great atmosphere. Prices were very reasonable. Military discount too. Good job ladies!

I went into the store to look for maternity clothes. My three year old daughter was with me and had to use the bathroom. I asked where the restroom was and the store clerk said she did not have one for us to use. I said, come on, shes only three, you dont use the bathroom all day!? She said it was private. My daughter, only being three! could not hold it. She ended up peeing in the grass outside! I was so mad I could hardly stand it!!!! I will never go back into that store again and I will tell everyone I can about my horrible experience. They do not care about their customers!!

I absolutely love Clothes Mentor. They have an excellent selection of brands and sizes in both their clothing and shoes. Their staff is exceptionally friendly! I always find awesome deals of top brand name clothing and love their designer purse selection. Ive also sold clothes to them many times and have always been pleased. They buy from me what they know will sell for their store and return the rest for me to donate. Great and easy way to make a little extra cash instead of just throwing it all away. Love Love Love the store :)

I love the deals and the layout of the store but the lack of care from the staff made the experience less than enjoyable. Im sure that their procedures were mostly correct but the way that they spoke to each other and then about customers after they walked out made me reconsider purchasing anything. I can only imagine what they might have been saying about me. If only they had spent more time talking to me than each other I might have spent more than I did.
