Commons at Hooper — Local services in Toms River

I usually visit DSW at this location. As I have mentioned many times over, the shoe outlet has many good things to offer. However, I don't think there is such a good thing as a real sale anymore. It seems days before an advertised sale the retail prices are jacked up, and then the sale is put on making it almost back to its original price. Since the products seem to escalate all the time, you almost have to monitor, a time period before the sale, during the sale and after the sale. The clearance section has some good buys, but even then on the discontinued styles, colors , or available sizes you are limited. I visited this location several days ago and most of the clearance didn't offer more than 20% off the posted retail, which seemed to be higher. I especially noticed that on the brand Skechers. The store was busy for a mid Sunday afternoon, the line was very long at the checkout, and it took almost 15 minutes for a third register to open. Prior to that the person was doing stock work. It seems most of these employees need to multitask all the time. And of course many of the aisles and stock are a constant disaster. Always check your box to make sure both shoes match. They do that most times at the register as well. If you sign up to be on emails, you will get information 3 to 4 times a day. It is so redundant it gets boring. The only thing is that the price changes constantly. I bought a pair of slip-on walkers from the clearance section made by Skechers. They were ticketed at 74.99 with a 20% discount from clearance. Several weeks before that I saw the same shoe in the general section for men and it was ticketed at 59.99. there were some color variations, but basically it voided any true real discount. There is also a vast variation in sizes. Depending on where the product was made you better make sure you try both shoes on, and talk about shrinkflation, well then there is size deflation. My normal size is 12, and in some cases had to go up to 13 or 14 depending...

The parking lot is a death trap. People fly up and down the aisles like it's Wall Stadium... You can't see cars pulling in and out, it's an accident waiting to happen. People walking in-between cars, come out of no where, and just keep walking, don't look, yes I know the law, stop for pedestrians, however, When they jump out from behind a car and just keep going when your 10 feet from them, does not help this parking lot. Then there's the potholes., I hope I'm not around when someone gets hit. Make each aisle one way, it will prevent cars from jockeying for a spot from either direction, then the fight starts. 2 women, seniors arguing over a spot as one was able to pull in before the other. No punches, just a lot of 4 letter words. Amusing.... Gotta do something, or someone is gonna get hurt.... I only go there for the UPS Store, otherwise, would...
