Ross Dress for Less — Local services in Honolulu

Great customer service, great prices and great inventory. Employees are nice and polite and very helpful when called upon or heeded. Not having a public bathroom is a downer but people need to understand that there is a reason why they don’t let people use the restrooms. If they let people use the restrooms they’ll have to let the homeless people use it as well, right? I’m not gonna stay here and talk about what homeless people but they’re not the only ones who would “dirty” up a public restroom. Teenagers, kids, even young adults mess up a bathroom. I know most of you don’t but what about the others who don’t know how to clean up after themselves, leave toilet paper all around the floor, who write gang signs, all around the walls as well as provocative and vulgar language. Who would want to see that? No one right? Wouldn’t you be disgusted if you saw that in their public restroom? That’s the reason why they dont let anyone use the restroom, people don’t know how to clean up after themselves, people write dumb stuff all over the restroom and they don’t want anyone to see that if they ever did decide to open up the public restroom for anyone. All you people act so mean to the employees when it comes to using the bathroom, if they say no public restroom, then there is no public restroom. Is it that hard to understand? You’re just gonna waste more time arguing with enployees and end up peeing your pants instead of walking or driving to zippys or liliha bakery...

I love all Ross stores but this one is newer and this was my first visit. I could walk down isles and not be scrunched like some of the other stores. I go there for art supplies, canvases mostly, and although you have to remember the selection will constantly change and your favorite canvas size might not be there (four months at a time even... come on Ross get the small squares back please!) The inventory that is there at any given time is still super well priced. Wal-Mart does carry reasonably priced canvass as well. Random art supplies pop up and are always worth grabbing at the prices they have. The pet section is also excellent, cat scratching boxes are so expensive at the pet stores! Ross, $4 with catnip (my cat loves these). Cute pet beds, litter boxes, bowls, toys are also there. Make sure to save your money and check Ross first for pet stuff. The home decor, kitchen supplies, housewares, small furniture area is solid as well. Again revolving stock so buy it when you see it, since it might not be there next time. Ross is known for clothing and shoes but should be remembered for more. Great place to save money... which is always important living in such a expensive place! Oh also, tourist should keep in mind they carry swim gear and other things that you might discover you need or forgot at home. We were on big island when my slippers gave out... Ross trip and i was back in action with 2 new pairs at a...

Well, I normally an very satisfied when I go to any Ross's but I'm sorry to say that I will NOT BE going back to the Ross on Nimitz. I know that this may not seem very important, but I found it ridiculous. I had some clothing that I wanted to try and and most likely I was going to purchase some a few pieces. I ask the fitting room clerk if I could use the restroom before I went to try on the clothing and she tells me that there are no "public" restrooms in the store. I was kinda shocked because EVERY OTHER Ross's that I've been to has a restroom. I then told her well I really needed to go, but since there wasn't any I left all of the clothes that I was going to try on with her and left the store. What was ridiculous is that I had to drive down the street to Zippy's to use the restroom!!! If there was a restroom INSIDE the store, that is not a PUBLIC restroom, it is for store customers. A PUBLIC restroom is somewhere outside the store with access for anyone to use. Anyway...I will never go back to that location and I will also let my friends & family know of this as well and also post it on my social media. That issue needs to be addressed...
