The last time I looked at tops they were all over the table. I probably
looked at more than 20 of the same color, multiples of the same two sizes

"Mine" is always a sty. I rarely even bother going in. OTOH, oldnavy.com
is always very tidy <g>. Nothing is shopworn. And you can return items to
a b&m store.

clean whenever I go there and it's really easy to find stuff, too. However,
I have noticed that at the smaller Old Navy stores in strip malls, like the
one in up North of me near Everett, WA (it's wedged in between a Barnes and
Noble and a Bed, Bath and Beyond store...only one story....really small...)
everything is a mess and there are purses scattered all over and t–shirts
falling over, etc. It looks more like a Ross, a Loehmann's or a Marshall's
inside that one.

Is it just mine or does every ON store look like a tornado blew through it.
I mean literally! Over the past two weeks I've tried to shop at my local ON
*at opening time* and the store is just disgusting. Piles of mixed–up,
unfolded clothes, clothes jammed on the racks so tight they are dripping
off, enormous dust bunnies and piles of merchandise on the floor. You can't
find anything you are looking for and it's very frustrating. This isn't an
outlet store and I shouldn't have to sift through the rubble to find a white
perfect fit v–neck t–shirt!
I think I've vented about this before, but I'm just astounded that any
manager would want their store looking like this.I actually got a reciept
with a request for me to fill out a survey so I did and it was scathing. I
used up every one of my 500 words in the "comments" section. I really don't
think anyone cares though. It's unfortunate, because they have some good
basics like the tees and children's clothing, but I just can't shop there
anymore. I'll have to travel to get there and it just isn't worth it, imo.

I think most every ON store I have been into has been messy. I get
overwhelmed and rarely buy anything.
One of my real pet peeves is overloaded racks. You can't find
anything, and when you try, invariably a bunch of pieces of clothing
fall to the floor. I hardly feel like picking them up! I once worked
at a Gap when I was in grad school. The manager used to tell us to get
every last bit of clothing out onto the floor, because we couldn't sell
it from the back room. While this is true, what is the point of having
8 articles of the same piece of clothing, all in the same size, on the
rack at once?!

The two Ons in my town are generally pretty neat EXCEPT
near the start of school or at Christmas. My favorite thing is
to go during spring break, which all happen at the same time
in the worst state. No kids anywhere.
One of the advantages of being of a "certain age" is that
people trust you. They always let me take as many garments
as I want in the dressing room and never count them, lol.

Yiiiii, I hear you on the sorting through the little socks front,
Michele. I was stupid, I did this at the Tyson's ON, the week after it
– and the new wing – opened. Stupider still (sadly yes, it gets
stupider) I did this while my DD and DH waited for me to finish
rounding up said socks so I could get the 8 (?) pairs of socks for $10.
But, the last ON we were in was pretty well organized and we scored
some cute things for the little diva, and a pair of pants for DH, all
on sale. This store is really YMMV in my opinion. Sometimes it's well
organized and easy to shop in and sometimes everything's a mess, the
lines are too long, the music too loud, and it's generally hellatious.
