18. to me it seemed like their selection was not as good as before when they changed the pricing

so it probably isn't just the pricing but they probably don't have as much selection or good stuff.

i agree about employees also. i had a few good people. the last time i was there the person working at the register was really nice. she scanned the pants and it was higher than i thought. i got it from some section where the price was lower but i assumed maybe it was misplaced. i said it was ok. but she changed the price to the lower price i originally thought it was.

but there are some employees that don't seem to know or even care much. i don't have a problem with people not knowing, especially if they are new. i can tell they are trying to help. but some just seem not to care or don't want to be bothered.
