Nordstrom is class as far as I have ever experienced (2 different stores regularly). They look out for you, help you, are very nice, and don’t get in your way at the same time. They also refund/exchange, no questions asked. Service as nothing I’ve ever experienced. Meanwhile, the suspicious policies and the grumps and mugwumps at cheap (”big box”) places - well, you get what you pay for.
“I’ve been snobbed out at Nordstroms, but I get your point”
I only go there a few time a year, they lighten up once you open your wallet and carry around a few bags.

Yeah, you sure do have to prove that you are a paying customer there. Walk in wearing jeans with your babies in a stroller and they will RUN to get away.
I don’t shop where I have to pull out my charge cards to be treated nicely.
RIO Linda... At least I know where I’m from!

This would’ve been perfect if the letters were just changed a bit.

Yeah and that’s why I shop at Walmart. People are friendly and happy. Returns are easy and value is high. My kids outgrow their clothes in a year, why do I want to pay huge money for them?
Nordstroms and their “better than thou”, overpriced, medium quality products, you can keep.
Thanks again. I’ve been so informed by all. Early morning, caffeine hadn’t kicked in yet and I had Rosa in the back of my mind and that’s the way it came out.
I don’t see it that way at all. Wal-Mart as well as others are generally rude, ignorant and careless, signs of our society in general today and their lackadaisical attitude. They hassle you for not having a reciept (try that there), and you have to go to a counter rather than just anywhere. I go there naturally just to go in and get general merchandise - sometimes even for cheap, when I know there’s not likely to be a problem. The nicest person is the greeter, and randomly the cashiers (like any other place).
Nordstrom is high quality and that includes their service. And I don’t need to dress up (like my sister) to get good service; just walk in a department. They give us the shirt off their backs, and it’s not because we/they are “snobs”. Maybe you have trouble in MI but I don’t near home.
You can also compare the average McDonald’s and Chick-Fil-A. CFA is not a “snob” place by any means, but they are vastly superior in service and smiles (never mind the food) to any other fast-food place.
BTW, I agree about children’s just in principle. I do buy a couple things at high-end places but mostly I go to Wal-Mart (prefer Target, their toddler/baby area is so much better) for children’s clothes and SHOES. I guess the Babies-R-Us place is reasonable, too, but sometimes the cheapest is at WM/Target.
A friend of mine is a Canadian immigrant. A few years ago, her mother, a Canadian citizen, was diagnosed with colon cancer. Due to her age (late 70’s), she was given painkillers rather than surgery and radiation/chemo. Needless to say, the sweet woman is no longer with us. Man that “free” healthcare is great!
It seems you have had a sex change operation according to poster #4 Why did you do such a silly thing.....:O) GG
I'm sorry to say that this "public servant" is also in Philadelphia, rather than Pittsburgh. (Arlene Ackerman)
LOL - you should hear me on the phone. I keep getting mistaken for one of my brothers.
Heh, heh! Guess I should check profiles, first, huh?
Great profile page, SD! BTW, I just watched “The Sundowners” last night. Great flick about Australia...you might want to check it out!
Yeah here in MI, Walmart has the best employees and merchandise that I need.
Here, the Norstrom’s people are much better than me.

Another example for me is Saks 5th Ave. My mother loved that place (maybe it was better in the old days). I appreciate it too, but the few times (admittedly, not a good sample) I’ve been to both NY and Baltimore stores, incidences of condescension occurred.
While I haven’t been to Saks nearly as much as Nordstrom (not much opportunity), and I don’t totally despise it, Saks showed more “snobby” behavior than I’ve ever experienced (0) at Nordstrom. (And you can bet when we vaca’d in NYC I’m dressed well and done up.)
“Idiot” has an interesting etymology, it’s from the greek, “idiotes,” which means a commoner, or someone with no special knowledge or social standing. Hence ( we may infer ) someone who can be safely ignored. “Who was that?” “Just some idiot.”
G’Day - and as we say DnUnDa - no wurries, mate. Haven’t watched it yet but my favorite Aussie movie is “Quigley Down Under”. I’ve been to Silverton and Broken Hill where the first two Mad Max/Road Warrior movies were made.
