The Mall at Rockingham Park is Salem's hidden gem. NOT!

  Update - 2/8/2012

This Taget is undergoing a major renovation.
Not sure why, as it looked new and all good to me.

Corporate spending out of control.

As long as they don't pass the costs on to me.

One can only buy liquor in NH at a State owned liquor store. The state controls it. However, it sells for CHEAP here and droves of people from Mass and Maine come to stock up like its going to be outlawed in this century. I can find great deals on…More »

Waited 25 minutes in line. Yes 25 minutes. The place has 34 registers and only had 2 open, along with the stupid self checkouts.

Had trouble finding a carriage as the bay was nearly empty. Guess where they…More »

Don't you just love to be run over by middle aged women?
Don't you just love to see "Made in China" stickers on every item?

Well the Ashely tech showed up on time and they communicated well.
Again the issue is the quality. As it turned out, my nice leather sofa is not as good quality as I thought.

I agree with Nate the checkout  & Deli customer service  is going downhill. It doesnt take much to manage young adults to make them smile or greet customers in a friendly manner.
