Belk — Local services in Aiken County

I was extremely disappointed. I went in today because of the sale going on. I understand now why entire retail chains are going out of business. Short staffing and sorry customer service. I arrived at exactly their 10:00 opening time. I went directly to the men's colognes counter. I located what I wanted to buy (Polo Body Spray) and waited to be served. At the other end of the counter a man was doing whatever he needed to do to get his cash drawer set up. I stood there and stood there. He never looked in my direction. So I thought he's not ready for me. I'll go look at belts, shorts, shirts, etc and maybe I'll see something else I'd rather buy. So I looked around about 15 minutes and then went back to the men's cologne counter. There was no one there. Two points here. First, I arrived at opening time and the men's cologne counter is not ready to do business and second it is a father's day sale on the Friday before father's day. Hello!!!!! I finally caught the attention of a lady at one of the perfume counters who said she would get someone there to help me. A young man showed up and he didn't have a clue where to look for my body spray. He asked for help from the lady who opened the door for me at 10:00. Neither one of them seemed to have a clue what drawer to look in for the Polo Body Spray although the sign in the counter says they have the spray I wanted for $23.00. They offered to order it or to find it at another store but I declined. I was so ticked off that I walked. The store lost a $23.00 sale but I'll find my Polo Body Spray somewhere else probably on line. Funny thing is I don't blame the three people on the floor. I blame management or the 3 people's supervisors. Why spend a fortune to develop, print and send out sale fliers which drives traffic into the store and then not be set up with staff and cash registers open for business when the store opens. If you wish to discuss then reply and give me your name and how to reach you Richard...

I often purchased items from belks store during the 1980's in Georgia where I lived and worked I remember buying a Seiko watch from there. I wore it to a concert ,and somehow it came unloosen I didn't discover that it fell to the floor at the concert until I got home., I attended with a few of my coworkers that I worked with at acuity brand lighting company in Conyers GA formerly called Lithonia lighting. I worked there from 1984 to 1996. I drove a blue Toyota Corolla 4 speed stick shift until I traded it in on a brand new Nissan Sentra 5 speed stick shift that I purchased from Conyers Nissan in Georgia. I've just walked through this store with my family during Christmas when they would bring me to their house to visit during the Christmas holidays a few years ago. When I lived and worked in Summerville SC I drove a used 1997 Saturn. I'm a natural born citizen of the United States of America. I really miss the pay salary and benefits from being in a union. I pray that the Lord blesses all of my education work history and accomplishments I worked hard there however it was worth it and I was able to drive a nice car and live in a beautiful townhouse and apartments with my own family. I was never broke. I pray that the Lord blesses all and restore everything back to me abundantly.Also I pray that the Lord blesses all of my investments with continuing education with online school programs to improve everything I've achieved. I haven't been to belks in decades. They have some quality things to buy. God bless 🙏🙏. Today is...

All around good experience! Only issue was with the lady at the jewelry counter. I asked to see a couple of sapphire pieces, which I asked if they were natural or lab created because you can't tell sometimes when the stones are both deep blue in color. She told me they were and also stated she knew because she also owned one of them. Unfortunately, I took her word. Why wouldn't i?..it was in fact her job to know this information... right?? After purchase; when I was able to read the tag at home, it literally stated CR sapphire..meaning CREATED. I went back the next day & returned it. Words of advice for customers: check for authenticity for yourself!! Words of advice for Belk: hire people that know the product they're selling or offer better training. Associates are supposed to be informed representatives..Staff are only there to fill the schedule. All she did that was useful was check the prices, and a trained monkey...
