Riverside Plaza — Local services in Provo

I spent 30 minutes trying to find one item they claimed to have and the whole time I was hoping to see a shop attendant to direct me, talk to me, or kick me or just acknowledge me. Even to throw me out as a vagrant would have at least represented the act of service. I even found someone down the back of the store virtually doing her best not to be discovered. I like Target . I always have. But that store is an anomaly. There was no service and I've been there a few times and it has never changed. I'm curious as to Why they don't have any staff. Only 1 checkout person and she was nice. It feels abandoned. Has anybody else noticed this. I want them to succeed. However that particular location is a service lonely experience. You must know exactly what you want and be sure that you know the exact location or allow the time to wander like an aborigine in the Australian desert on Walkabout . Years in pursuit of dream time. My Compliments always to the employees. When you accidentally find them hiding within the clothes racks they are very nice and courteous . They usually are new and they can direct you to the bathroom. I'm serious . They are very nice. Usually students trying like everyone to make a buck. When I found one it was like I found treasure. And they didn't know or were familiar with the balding preventative shampoo that apparently was there according to the online info. When I asked the nice young lady where the 'Hims' section was in the mens personal care area she honestly responded with " We don't sell them here but If you go up University Ave you will find all the church HIM (Hymn) books in Deseret Book Store. We don't have them. I didn't want to be rude . Especially because she was being so nice . And quite serious . I did not laugh. So don't you , ok! So I controlled my emotions and tried " Oh thank you ! I love those Hims. Do you have the Hims for prevention of baldness products . You know personal Products by Hims. That was when she smiled with relief that she could finally succeed in helping me and pointed to the mens bathroom and said " Oh of course , Go straight ahead on your left ! "

That was my notable memorable experience.

Take it for what you will.

Target, Macy's, Chick Fil A, Sonic, Little Caesars, what more could you want? Especially given that this is a college town? If you have a loved one at the hospital or you live in the area, the pedestrian-friendly complete street Cougar Ave provides foot, bike and vehicle access to one of the best shopping center in Provo. (If you travel by foot, beware the crazy drivers.)

Also fun fact - apparently Santa brings his elves here to do some of their...

I went to the new smiths to just check it out. I still don't get the draw this store has. There's very little that I buy the... JUST 2 items that I can't find anywhere else.

Went there to get some holiday ingredients. They didn't have cranberry belly, no green beans.... What kind of store DOESN'T have traditionally holiday foods available for holiday shopping??

Well...I went, I saw, I bought my chips... that's my one and only visit. My curiosity...
