Hampton Village Shopping Center — Local services in St. Louis

I hate that JC Penney is gone!! It had been there for 70+ years and was so loved by the community! It's terrible that it's never been replaced! As with the other closed stores that were never replaced!! What's going on with Schnucks, who owns the plaza? Are they asking way too much for rent? Or can't they attract new businesses for other reasons? At JC Penney, there was A LOT of theft, which was so unfortunate. But they were still quite profitable. The problem is that, for some reason, the stores in Hampton Village won't prosecute thieves. That just invites them to continue stealing! JCP and Walgreens had/have many repeat offenders, like that's their career. And, we're sure that these thieves aren't from the neighborhood. They're brought in it come in to do their "job". If the police OR these retail stores would prosecute, I really believe it would cut down on the stealing, invite more in retailers to rent in Hampton Village and make our neighborhood safer and more desirable! It's just unconscionable that the police and these retailers do NOTHING to stop all this theft! That behavior/mindset is pretty much condoning this horrendous behavior! There should be something that can be done!!! Maybe, we, who live in this wonderful neighborhood AND want to keep it this way, should ban together to figure out a way to stop all this crime. We can't continue to just look the other way!!! I confronted a customer who was just calmly walking out of Walgreen's with a cart full of merchandise she was stealing. She was boldly doing this in front of probably 4 or 5 other customers and an employee. I told her that she needed to pay for her merchandise. She said she already did. I told get that she didn't because nothing is in bags. She told me to mind my own business. I angrily responded that her stealing is SO wrong and she shouldn't be doing it. She just walked out. I wanted to do more but I didn't know if she was armed or had a partner(s) who was (were ). I'm getting really frustrated and angry by all of this!! It has to stop because the retailers and police are sending the message that stealing is okay. Not only does that enforce the behavior of these offenders and those they bring into their "business" but it's teaching the children in this, OUR neighborhood, that stealing is acceptable behavior. It must be because the police do nothing to stop it, you're not banned from the store. There are NO CONSEQUENCES for this behavior!! Why don't we all steal what we want? Evidently, there are no laws to stop us! This mindset is very...

Easy access to produce. Line was set up to accommodate covid-19 social distancing. The rules for Covid are changing and when you see this masks are not mandated to wear in St. Louis City. (Just use your common sense and wear one if you are immuno- compromised or have a necesary reason to wear one. Be safe. The store was moderately busy. Went to get Ground Sirloin around 3:30 p.m. and there was not any in the meat case and no butcher. One clerk ran in the back and found someone in the back. She informed me that all was out in the cases and to come back tomorrow. The shelves were a little scarce. I did find a few wines to try. I use the wine club to taste test new wines that may be good ones to buy later. Found a 2020 Argentine wine, a Cabernet Sauvignon, A favorite, Craftwork Cabernet, and a 2016 French Bordeaux -Francs Les Cerisiers. Two new and an old reliable wine. The checkers are friendly and move you through quickly and courteously....

I have been traveling for my job for over 30 years. And I have never come in contact with a more racist Hotel in the entire United States than this one. Outside of the housekeeping and nighttime front desk representative everybody else is very racist or just did not care at all about customer service. The housekeeper and the customer service night person were the only two that were concerned about my situation. The morning front desk person was the rudest customer service representative I have ever seen. She and the district manager will not concerned that all that I was taking care of my autistic nephew and it was not even the slightest concern for them. We were literally thrown out of the hotel after paying for 2 weeks. I would not recommend this place to the worst enemy I have and management need to investigate how they were taught about...
