Mandee Shops

They have a ridiculous return policy, and unlike forever 21, they don’t notify you that you can’t return items, until you try to return them. The manager is very rude. All they do is exchanges.

I ask myself why I continue to come here. Yes there is always a line but I don’t understand why cause in my opinon their clothes are not all of that or it can be the turtle moving cashiers. I have to agree with the previous reviews that I as well probably find something good here once or twice a year THE MOST. To me it’s more of finding an undershirt, tank top, leggings, a silk scarf or a cheap pocketbook. I can not see anything above that. I can say though the employees were friendly and greeted as soon as I walked it. The store is organized at the entrance, the rest is another story. The shoe department lacks a lot and can either moved to another satisfying section (really dark over there) or just re-​done completely. I’ll try once more in the Summer for cheap tank tops if I don’t find it at Payhalf or in the Winter for a few sweaters.

I loathe Mandee stores for the simple fact that no matter which location you go to there will be a long line. I visited this location to find simple black slacks. I was able to find something fairly quickly — the racks are organized well (shirts, skirts, dresses, jeans, slacks, leggings, etc.)
I went to try on my findings and there was no one at the fitting room to unlock the door. I went to front counter and asked if someone was available to unlock a door and was told to wait. Fine, I get it there’s a line — you’re busy… Meanwhile there was a girl at the door greeting entering customers who could have stepped away for 5 mins without the world ending. I finally get a fitting room — not because an employee came over but because someone exited. By the time I exited the fitting room the line was twice as long and did not seem to be moving so I left without buying anything.
This location always has a line, never has someone available to unlock the fitting room, and the cashiers move at a glacial pace. Yeah, now I remember why I go here once a year if that when I visit Bay Plaza… You might as well try your luck elsewhere.

Although Mandees doesn’t have the biggest selection, it’s usually calm when I go, and it’s definitely more fashion-​conscious than the neighboring stores (Easy pickins, JCPenny, Pay Half, etc). The sales rack isn’t very good, but there is some nice clothing if you look, for prices that won’t hurt your wallet.
Like the users above me said, the area’s atmosphere takes away from the store — there are projects surrounding it, they do check bags at the entrance, and the workers are pretty apathetic and don’t look happy to be there at all.

I go to this Mandee because its closest to me and I do find good buys — however, depending on the time of day you go, you can either be in an empty store or you could be getting run down by some loud women who bring their 12 kids and let them run around and terrorize the store. Besides that, this store never seems to get the temperature right — its either scorching hot or freezing cold. As far as the clothes go, the selection is good, the layout of the store makes it easy to find what type of clothes your looking for — one side is mostly for dress clothes, the other side for casual. Is it the best Mandee I’ve been to? No. But I do enjoy going there and getting all those good coupons and deals!

A good stand by for ladies’ clothing in the area, probably of a better selection then the neighboring Ten Spot or Easy Pickins. They usually have a great selection of hoodies, but be careful, sizes can run small.
Also, they have cute accessories, keep a close eye on the sales.
Note: Prepare for some serious techno music being played in the store.
This is some intense stuff.

Ghetto people work here… However I can find a nice top once every two years or so. It used to be a nice store to score cheap threads here & there, but as the community has gone down hill a little, so has the store. They started checking bags a few years ago, but now it seems they’ve stopped. They also think everyone is in there to steal which is not true and drives away some customers.
