Uncomfortable Experience
1550 sea side Spencer’s, recently went in and I went to buy an item that could be considered 18+, one of the workers came to ask me if my friends and I were 18, completely understandable! We all replied we were all 18 and were willing to give ID. The woman came back and asked once again, which is also fine but we responded once again with the same exact response. They had already spoken about it and I get the concern but I could tell everyone felt a little uncomfortable by the second time. It doesn’t rlly stop there tho. Later, I ended up putting the item back because I felt so uncomfortable checking out with the male cashier, on my way out I heard snickering and laughing, staring and “non-chalant” pointing. Additionally, the entire time the male cashier was YELLING in the back room, like actually screaming. I just think customers should be able to browse without fear of being laughed behind their back because items like that are already embarrassing enough to try and purchase.
Recommendation: Just buy any “sus” items that you want online if you’re eighteen and genuinely wanna experiment safety with 18+ material, some Spencer’s staff genuinely don’t seem happy to be there and can be rude. Take the advice my dude.
Disappointing Service from Spencer's Online Store: Delayed Shipping, Unhelpful Customer Service, and No Refund
So, I decided to order a t-shirt from Spencer's online store. Unfortunately, the shipping kept getting delayed, and I received the product later than expected. To make matters worse, I needed to exchange the t-shirt for another size. However, Spencer's online store requires you to pay for shipping on exchanges, unlike Hot Topic, which pays for exchanging a product. So, I paid to return the shirt and ordered it again in the correct size.
The second time I ordered the product, the shipping arrived later than expected again. I was starting to get frustrated, but I decided to check my credit statement to see if I had received the refund for the original product I returned. To my surprise, I never received the refund. I contacted customer service, hoping they could help me out, but they were not helpful at all. Spencer's kept telling me to wait 3 to 5 business days for the refund, then additional 5 to 14 business days, then additional 5 to 7 days, etc. It has been more than 30 business days, and I still haven't received a refund on my original order from 2 months ago. Customer service didn't even answer my last email after multiple complaints.
I was extremely disappointed with the service I received from Spencer's online store. I had to call up my credit card company and file a dispute on the charge because why should I have to pay for something I returned? This is unacceptable. Going forward, I will be ordering products from Hot Topic when online shopping. I never had a problem with them, and shipping is quicker. Also, they pay for shipping on exchanges. I would suggest the same for any online shopper looking for a better experience.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Spencer's Store Review: Negligence and Trauma Caused by Inappropriate Items on Display
So, let me tell you about my experience at Spencer's. It was just a regular day, and my friends and I decided to hit up the mall to do some shopping. I had just gotten paid, so I was excited to treat myself to some new clothes and accessories. As we were walking around, we stumbled upon a store called Spencer's. It looked like a Hot Topic knockoff, so we decided to check it out.
As soon as we walked in, we were hit with a wave of shock. There were so many sexual and explicit items on display, and it was overwhelming. I couldn't believe that a store like this was allowed in a family-friendly mall. There was no sign indicating that children were not allowed, so my little sister, who is only 8 years old, came in with us.
We were browsing through the store, trying to ignore the inappropriate items, when my sister picked up a mug. It seemed harmless enough, but when she turned it around, she saw a graphic image that made her scream and drop the mug, shattering it on the floor. We quickly tried to leave the store before anyone noticed, but my sister was traumatized by what she had seen.
After searching for her for what felt like forever, we found her in the mall bathroom having a mental breakdown. It turns out that she had forgotten to take her medication for her OCD and ADHD, which made the situation even worse. We had to explain to our mother what had happened, and she was understandably upset. She took my sister to urgent care, where she was diagnosed with chronic dry eye, autism, and post traumatic stress disorder.
I can't help but blame Spencer's for what happened. They should have had a sign indicating that children were not allowed, and they should not have had such explicit items on display. It's not fair that my sister had to suffer because of their negligence. I will never shop at Spencer's again, and I urge others to think twice before supporting a store that puts children in danger.
Poor Customer Service Experience at Spencer's Jewelry: Rude Manager and No Help with Returns
So, I went to Spencer's yesterday to buy some jewelry. The associate who helped me was really nice and told me that I could return the jewelry if it didn't fit. Unfortunately, when I got home, I realized that the jewelry was too big for my piercing. So, I went back to the store to return it. But, the worker who helped me this time was really rude and didn't want to help me at all. He even told me that he was the store manager and that there was nothing he could do about it since the jewelry was already opened.
I was really upset because the worker who helped me the day before had told me that I could return the jewelry if it didn't fit. I tried to explain this to the manager, but he just looked at me like I was stupid and didn't offer any help. He didn't even offer me a gift card or anything to make up for the inconvenience.
To make matters worse, the jewelry was the longest length for my piercing, so even if I exchanged it, it wouldn't have helped. I was really frustrated with the manager's attitude and rudeness. He even told me that I had a "stank $#*! attitude" which I thought was really unprofessional. I had been respectful up until that point, and I don't think a manager should ever talk to a paying customer like that.
Overall, I was really disappointed with my experience at Spencer's. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon. It's a shame because I really liked the jewelry they had, but the customer service was just terrible. I hope they can improve in the future because one customer may not be a lot to a big company, but it's still important to treat everyone with respect and kindness.
Unacceptable Treatment at Spencer's: Accused of Shoplifting and Disrespected by Employee
So, I went to Spencer's today to check out what they had in store. I usually come here quite often, but today was different. As soon as I walked in, I noticed that the employee at the front was giving me a dirty look. I didn't think much of it and went on to try on some sunglasses. I put them on my head so I could browse the t-shirt section. Suddenly, the same employee, Bella, came up to me and accused me of shoplifting. I was shocked and tried to explain that I wasn't doing anything wrong, but she just told me to leave in a rude and sarcastic tone.
I was really upset by this experience. I've spent a lot of money at Spencer's in the past and I never expected to be treated like this. As a Native American woman, I felt like I was being stereotyped and disrespected. Bella's behavior was completely unacceptable and I won't be shopping here again. I'm going to tell all of my friends to avoid this store too.
It's a shame because I really like the merchandise at Spencer's, but the employees need to be more friendly and respectful. I ended up finding a better pair of sunglasses at a store next door. I hope that Spencer's management takes this seriously and does something to address the issue. If not, I might have to get the news involved because racism and injustice should not be tolerated in our city.
Overall, I was really disappointed by my experience at Spencer's today. I hope that they can improve their customer service and make sure that all customers are treated with respect and kindness. In the meantime, I'll be shopping at Hot Topic where the employees are much friendlier.
Spencer's Website Review: Disappointing Customer Service and Misleading Information
So, I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and saw an ad for Spencer's website. I was intrigued by a figure that I saw and decided to make a purchase. While I was on the site, I decided to add a few more items to my cart. I was in a rush to get my items, so I opted for overnight shipping.
Four days later, I received my package, but to my dismay, only three out of the five items I ordered were inside. The item that initially caught my attention and made me order from them was not even included. Apparently, it was on backorder, which was not mentioned on the website. Another item that I received was not even the right one. It was completely different from what I ordered.
I decided to call them about the order, and they informed me that the item was on backorder. They gave me $10 back for the overnight fee and told me it would take a few weeks before I got the figure. I was already upset with all the confusion, so I didn't even bother making a fuss about the wrong item that was sent.
To my surprise, I received the figure not two days later! However, the way they wrote out the numbers on the receipts made me assume that the money was all being taken out at once. Since there was another item that was on their website but not in their store, I thought that they charged my bank already. So, I didn't even check.
Weeks later, when I checked my bank account, I found out that I had a negative balance because the figure was not charged until it was shipped. I was lied to about when it was going to arrive, and now a simple online order that I didn't even need caused me hundreds of dollars.
It's been a month now, and I'm still dealing with these issues. I understand that mistakes happen, but this was a bit too much for me. I hope that they can improve their website and customer service to avoid these kinds of problems in the future.
Disappointing Experience at Spencer's: Lack of Employees and Mask Policy Frustrations
I had a really bad experience at Spencer's. My spouse and I went to the store as soon as it opened online at 10:00, but there were no employees there. We waited for an hour and came back, but the store was still closed. Later in the day, my son and I went back to the store, but we were disappointed again. I used to work in retail, so I know that someone should have been there at lunchtime.
I was also frustrated because the store required masks, but they didn't provide them. I have a medical condition, so I only had one mask for my son and me. When I asked an employee if they could provide a mask, they said no and told me to go to Starbucks to get one. I think that if a store requires masks, they should provide them.
Another employee told me that I had to wear a mask or they would remove me from the store. I felt like I was being targeted because I saw other people entering the store without masks, but no one said anything to them.
Overall, I had a really bad experience at Spencer's. I don't think I'll be going back anytime soon.
Disappointing Experience with Spencers: Lack of Communication and Follow-Up
I recently had an experience with Spencers that left me feeling frustrated and disappointed. I purchased a washer and dryer as well as a mattress a few months ago, and unfortunately, the delivery did not go smoothly. When the items arrived, I noticed that the dryer had a few scratches and the mattress had a defect. Additionally, the delivery guys caused some deep scratches on my bed frame.
I immediately reached out to Jason, the salesman who helped me with my purchase. He assured me that he would take care of the issue and requested pictures of the damages. However, despite my follow-up texts every few days, I have yet to receive any resolution. It is now June 12th, and nothing has been done to address the problem.
As someone who works in the delivery business, I understand that delays can happen. However, what frustrates me the most is the lack of communication and follow-up from Spencers. I have been patient and understanding, but it seems like they are ignoring the problem rather than taking steps to fix it.
It took over a month for them to replace the scratched dryer door, and I still have not received any updates on the mattress or bed frame. I would not recommend this store to anyone, and I am hesitant to even give it one star. If this is how they treat their customers, I cannot imagine that other stores are any better.
I have tried to contact Jason multiple times, but he has not responded to my calls or texts. If there is someone else I should be speaking to, I would appreciate a phone number or contact information. Writing a negative review may not solve the problem, but I hope that it serves as a warning to others who are considering shopping at Spencers.
Overall, my experience with Spencers has been a total nightmare. While they may be friendly and helpful when trying to make a sale, they do not seem to care about resolving issues or providing good customer service. If you are thinking about buying from them, I would advise you to proceed with caution.
Discrimination against Deaf Customers at Spencer's: My Experience
I visited Spencer's in December of 2020 and had no issues entering the store. However, I witnessed a customer being berated by an employee for briefly pulling down their mask to ask a question. The employee became very rude and even shoved the customer out of the store. No one said anything to stop this behavior.
In January of 2021, I returned to Spencer's to look for a shirt. I was approached by a tall, intimidating employee who began yelling at me in a hostile tone of voice. She demanded to know where my mask was, but I explained that I had a hearing disability and asthma, so I was wearing a face shield instead. The sign only said "face covering," not "face shield prohibited." Despite this, the employee rudely told me to leave the store.
In March of 2021, I entered Spencer's wearing a hoodie that covered my entire face. Three female employees and a male employee formed a circle around me, making me feel threatened and intimidated. They rudely told me to leave the store in front of other customers who were staring in shock. I believe Spencer's needs to face a lawsuit for discriminating against hearing-impaired individuals. Deaf people have rights too, and we should not be treated like criminals because of our disability.
I left the store feeling humiliated, hurt, and discriminated against. Hearing people need to realize that deaf people have the right to be treated fairly and equally. Spencer's employees need to be trained to handle customers better and held accountable when they become extremely hostile, violent, and violate the ADA law. I have the right to shop without being harassed or discriminated against in any way. The employees at McCain Mall need to be fired for their behavior.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Unprofessional Employee at Spencer's: Snatched T-Shirt and Threw it on the Ground
So, me and my brother were just trying to shop for some t-shirts at Spencer's, when this worker girl came up to us and just stood there like we were in the way. My brother, being the nice guy he is, asked if she needed to get by and stepped back. But this girl had no manners or home training, because she snatched the t-shirt out of my brother's hand and said "if you're not going to buy it, give it here." I was so angry, I had to debate whether it was worth it to snatch her up right then and there. We told her that my brother was looking and was going to buy that shirt, but she threw it on the ground and we were so upset we had to leave the store.
After stepping outside for a second, I went back in to talk to a manager about her actions. It was hard to tell who worked there and who didn't, but I found someone with a keychain and asked if there was a manager around. The lady asked what was up, so I told her what happened and described the employee. She went over and talked to her for a few seconds, then came back and said "ohh, she's new and this is her first job." I don't care if she's new or been there for 10 years, if she doesn't have enough common sense or training to know not to snatch something out of someone's hands, maybe this isn't the job for her.
In the end, nothing was done about it and we had to leave the mall after the incident. Spencer's, I don't know what you're going to do about this, but we're waiting. By the way, the girl was about 5'3, white or Hispanic, had glasses and brown hair, and was wearing a blue t-shirt inside the Parks Mall in Arlington, Texas. Thanks for letting me vent.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Disappointing Experience with Spencer's Customer Service: Delayed Refund and Lack of Communication
So, I ordered a bunch of stuff from Spencer's and everything was going fine until I realized that one of the items I ordered was oversold. They canceled it from my order and told me that I would get a refund back on my gift card in a few days. But, it's been ten days and I still haven't received my refund. I called customer service and they told me that the money was marked as refunded in their system, which made it impossible for them to replace the item I wanted. I was so frustrated because I had bought that item as a Christmas present for my friend and I used a couple of specific online coupons to get a good deal. I tried to call the financial department three times, but I haven't received any response from them for two weeks. I don't know what to do because the card check number on the back of my gift card still says that I have $0 on it. It's like my money is floating around in the multiverse or something. I had to buy a completely different present for my friend because it's so close to Christmas now and I'm still being ignored by Spencer's. I'm so frustrated because I never received the item I ordered, I never received a refund, and the company was unwilling to replace the item even though it was their fault that it was canceled. I used to have a lot of respect for Spencer's customer service, but this experience has left me feeling ignored and frustrated. I don't think I'll be shopping at Spencer's anytime soon.

Refund not received
This company has been holding on to my refund for order [protected] for two months. Each time I call, they lie and say they have to get approval from their finance department. They have told me this story for two months straight and never once have they released the money. I want a refund because the order has been confirmed canceled since 8.10.23. And the next step is small claims court through New Jersey State.
Desired outcome: refund

Order tracking
I placed an order for an adult toy over a month ago, August 27th, 2023. Today is October 1st, 2023 and I cannot use my tracking number on the suggested order tracking website or can't use my order number in Spencer's online customer support because it says and I quote, "Sorry, the order Status feature does not work for locations outside the United States." I'm from Canada. Like how is that good for a company? The last update I managed to get was back on August 29th, and it gave me an notification saying it was in transit somewhere between Mountain View and Sunnyvale... wherever that may be in the States.
Desired outcome: Please refund.

Hype vibe
I bought a hype vibrator for as a girlfriends Bachelorette party gift and it literally didn't even work. She went to fire it up as soon as she opened it and nothing happened but a little red light turning on. We assumed maybe it just needed to be charged but upon doing so still nothing. I was completely embarrassed and extremely unimpressed that I was charged almost 60 dollars for something that was broken right from the start. This bothers me very much as I have spent quite a bit of money in this store and have never had an issue.
Desired outcome: I would really like to see my money returned or at least my purchase replaced.

Disappointing Service and Unprofessional Behavior: My Experience with Spencer's Online Order
I recently made an online order from Spencer's and I was quite disappointed with the service I received. I opted for express shipping, which according to the website, would have my order delivered within 2 days. However, it has been 5 days now and I still haven't received my merchandise. When I tried to call their customer service, I was informed that their phone lines were not open and I should use live chat instead.
When I finally got through to someone on live chat, they tried to convince me that this delay was normal for express shipping. But I knew better, I paid for faster shipping and this was not what I was promised. I argued with them, but they continued to insist that there was nothing they could do. I found their behavior to be very unprofessional.
After much back and forth, they offered to refund me 50% of my shipping cost. But I was not satisfied with this, I wanted a full refund. I made it clear that I was very unhappy with their service and that I would be leaving a negative review. But they didn't seem to care. Even the manager got involved in the argument and eventually hung up on me.
Overall, my experience with Spencer's was absolutely awful. I would not recommend ordering from them. Unfortunately, I am unable to provide any proof of my experience as I am not allowed to download anything on my work computer. As a dissatisfied customer, I hope that Spencer's takes this feedback seriously and improves their service in the future.

Terrible Customer Service and Security: My Experience with Spencer's Online
So, a while back I had a pretty bad experience with Spencer's online. I was just minding my own business, checking my online banking, when I saw that over $70 had been taken from my debit card. I was pretty upset, as you can imagine, and I immediately called up Spencer's online customer service to see if they could help me out.
Well, let me tell you, they were no help at all. The person I talked to on the phone said that my name wasn't in their system, even though you need your name to use a card in the first place. And to make matters worse, they couldn't find any record of the purchase amount either. It all seemed a little fishy to me, if you know what I mean.
The only thing the customer service rep could tell me was that they don't save credit card numbers, which didn't really help me out at all. I mean, if they don't save the numbers, how could someone have stolen my info in the first place? It just didn't make any sense.
Anyway, after that experience, I decided that I would never shop with Spencer's online again. It's just not worth the risk, you know? I mean, if they can't even help me out when something like this happens, then what's the point? It's just bad business, plain and simple.
So, if you're thinking about shopping with Spencer's online, I would definitely think twice. Their customer service is terrible, and they clearly don't care about their customers at all. It's just not worth it.

Terrible Customer Service and Shady Business Practices: My Experience with Spencer's Online
Spencer's Online is not a good place to shop. Their customer service is terrible and their business practices are the worst I have ever seen. I had a bad experience with them before, but I decided to give them another chance. That was a mistake.
I placed an order a month before Christmas and waited two weeks for a tracking number. I called them after a week to see what was going on, and they told me that there was a system backup because of the holidays. They said that my order would be shipped within the next few days. I waited another week, and finally got an email from them. But it was an email of cancellation! This is complete BS.
I called them to find out what was going on, and they told me that I had ordered something that they had never had in their warehouse. This is false advertising and complete and utter horse shi*. The representative was rude and unhelpful. I will never buy from Spencer's again.
This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Their customer service is terrible and their business practices are shady. I would not recommend shopping at Spencer's Online.

Disappointing Experience with Spencer's Online Store: No Seal, Strange Smell, and Wrong Name on Receipt
I recently made a purchase from Spencer's online store and unfortunately, I was not satisfied with my experience. I ordered a toy that came in a box, but when it arrived, I noticed that there was no plastic seal around the outside of the box. This was concerning to me because I have ordered from other companies before and their boxes always have a plastic seal and are also sealed shut with tape. However, this item did not have any of those security measures in place.
To make matters worse, the toy had a strange smell to it, almost like it had been used before. I was so disappointed that I ended up throwing it away. I paid over $27 for this item, and I know that Spencer's will not return my money. It's just not right what they did.
When I received the package, the USPS plastic bag was sealed shut, but the purchaser receipt inside the box was not in my name. It had someone else's name on it, which made me feel uncomfortable. I didn't even want the box around me anymore. To add to the confusion, the box had two different barcodes on it. One was physically stuck on the box, and the other was part of the box itself.
I tried to upload a picture of the other barcode on the box, but the website only allowed me to upload one picture. This barcode was separate and stuck on the box, which made me wonder if the item was even new. Overall, I was very disappointed with my experience with Spencer's and would not recommend buying anything from them.

Disappointing Experience with Spencer's Online: Late Delivery and Poor Customer Service
So, I wanted to get a Christmas sweater for a party my husband and I were attending. I went to Spencer's website and ordered the sweater on Tuesday morning. I paid extra for expedited shipping so that it would arrive by Saturday. But, guess what? I didn't receive my sweater on time! My husband had to go to the party without a sweater. I was so disappointed!
I called customer service on Monday to get my money back for the expedited shipping. But, the lady on the phone was extremely rude to me. She said that they don't count weekends when shipping. But, their website clearly stated that I would receive the sweater on Saturday. If they don't count weekends, then they need to update their website! She told me that if I didn't receive the sweater by Monday night, then they would refund me.
Well, it's Wednesday now and I still haven't received my sweater. I've tried multiple times to contact customer service to get my money back, but they keep giving me the runaround. This has been the worst customer service experience I've ever had! I would never order anything from Spencer's online again. If something goes wrong with your order, good luck getting your money back!

Spencer's Discreet Packaging Promise is a Lie: My Review
I recently purchased a product from Spencer's online store, and while I do like the product itself, I made a mistake in buying the wrong batteries. I admit, I can be a bit forgetful at times. So, I decided to order the correct batteries online, and the website promised discreet packaging. However, when the package arrived, it was clear that it was from Spencer's, with their name written all over the tape. To make matters worse, the batteries were bouncing around in the box, not secured at all. This was concerning because the product could have been damaged during shipping, and I wouldn't have been able to lie and say it was something else, like a shirt or something.
I'm an adult who still lives with my parents, and they know what Spencer's is. So, when they saw the package, they knew exactly what I had ordered. Despite my attempts to avoid their prying questions, my mom laughed and told my dad, and they both knew what I had ordered. If the website hadn't promised discreet packaging, I would have just gone to the store instead. But, unfortunately, that was a lie.
To make matters worse, the shipping cost was outrageous. I ended up paying $20 for $4 batteries, which is just insane. I understand that shipping can be expensive, but that seems like a bit much.
Overall, I would recommend Spencer's for their products, but if you live with someone and don't want them to know what you're ordering, be prepared to come up with a better lie or make sure they don't know what Spencer's sells. And, don't trust their promise of discreet packaging.

Spencer's Ableism: My Disappointing Experience as a Wheelchair User
I gotta say, I'm pretty bummed out about Spencer's. I've been a loyal customer for years, but lately, things have gone downhill. See, I've been dealing with some medical issues that require me to use a wheelchair. It's not something I ever thought I'd have to do, but here we are. The first time I rolled into Spencer's with my chair, I immediately noticed that the employees were giving me some serious side-eye. They followed me around the store like I was going to steal something, and when I tried to ask for help, they were short and rude with me. It made me feel like I was a burden, like I was somehow inconveniencing them.
Now, I should mention that I don't always use my wheelchair. Some days, I feel okay walking around, and I don't need any extra assistance. But every time I've gone into Spencer's in my chair, I've gotten the same treatment from the employees. One time, a worker even came up to me and accused me of faking my disability. Can you believe that? It was humiliating.
And it's not just the attitude of the employees that's the problem. The store itself is not very wheelchair-friendly. There are tight corners and narrow aisles that make it difficult for me to move around. And when I ask for help reaching something or using the card reader, the employees act like it's a huge inconvenience. I've even been asked to leave the store because I was having trouble navigating the space.
Honestly, I'm so frustrated with this whole situation. I used to love going to Spencer's, but now I dread it. The ableism is just unreal. Something needs to change, and fast. People with disabilities deserve to be treated with respect and dignity, and that's just not happening at Spencer's.

Disappointing Experience with Spencer's: Terrible Customer Service and False Promises
Spencer's is a company that I recently had the displeasure of dealing with. I must say, I have never encountered such a disgusting company in my life. I was charged a whopping $45 for overnight shipping, only to receive my item four days later. To make matters worse, the company refused to refund me the money I paid for the overnight shipping service. I mean, seriously, why offer overnight shipping if you can't deliver on your promise?
As a first-time customer, I was appalled by the lack of commitment and regard shown by Spencer's. I was left feeling frustrated and disappointed with the entire experience. The customer service was terrible, and the shipping was anything but quick. I would advise anyone considering purchasing from this company to think twice before doing so.
If you do decide to shop at Spencer's, I would recommend going in person. However, I have my doubts about the longevity of this company. In fact, I predict that they will go bankrupt within the next two years. It's no wonder they are holding onto every penny they have.
Despite my negative experience, I did file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau. Even if I don't receive my refund for the overnight shipping, at least there will be a complaint on record. This is more than enough for me.
In conclusion, I would strongly advise against purchasing overnight shipping from Spencer's. Don't expect great customer service, quick shipping, or any commitment from this company. They are not worth your time or money.

Disappointing Customer Service Experience with Spencers Online Store: Rude and Condescending Representative
I used to work for Spencers and let me tell you, my recent experience with their online store has left me feeling disappointed. I've been in customer service for five years, so I know how important it is to be polite and courteous. However, the person who answered my call didn't even bother to say hello. Instead, he immediately asked what my issue was.
I calmly explained that I had been charged twice for my purchase and wanted to know why. I also wanted to cancel the transactions or find out what I needed to do if I had to wait. But the person on the other end of the line was incredibly rude and condescending. He had no phone etiquette whatsoever and made me feel like I was wasting his time.
He told me that my reason for calling was dumb and that if I had a real issue, he could help. He even went so far as to say that my problem wasn't his problem and that I should just cancel my card. When I told him that I didn't want to cancel my card, he started to get loud and aggressive. He accused me of being dumb and not knowing how to use the internet.
Overall, my experience with this particular customer service representative was terrible. If I could give him a zero, I would. However, I have had positive experiences with Spencers in the past, so I would rate my overall experience with them as a three or four. But after this incident, I'm not sure if I want to shop with them again.

Spencer's Products: Trendy but Poor Quality
I recently purchased a few chokers and pant chains from Spencer's and I must say, they looked pretty cool in the store. However, when I got home and took the chokers off the card stock, I noticed that the choker part was bent in an uncomfortable way. It felt like I was wearing a piece of cardboard around my neck. No matter how much I tried to shape it, bend it, or twist it, it just wouldn't fit well on my neck. The sides kept poking out, making it look awkward and uncomfortable.
To make matters worse, their pant chains are not very durable. I was trying to put on a plastic pant chain when I noticed that one of the links was twisted in an odd position. I tried to fix it, but the moment I barely moved it, the link snapped. I was shocked that a pant chain that cost me 15 dollars could break so easily. I also had another incident where a metal pant chain I bought just kept falling apart. The links holding it together would just bend out of place randomly throughout the day. I've fixed that one pant chain like 4 times already and it continues to fall apart at different spots so I just stopped wearing it.
Although Spencer's products look nice and trendy, the materials they are made of are not very good quality. I wouldn't recommend spending a lot of money at Spencer's because their stuff doesn't last. It's a shame because I really liked the look of their products, but the quality just isn't there.
P.S. To add insult to injury, the metal chain I bought was supposed to have a second chain attached to it, but it fell off somehow and I never saw it again.

Managers at Jordan creek in Des Moines Iowa

Treating an employee disrespect, very judgmental, appears to not want an employee working in that store, due to color. Not sure, but that is what it seems.
Treat employee like they are low class
Telling them your last day in a day but you can reapply
Asking for their availability of hours and then say, it's not going to work, your last day is tomorrow. But did not let them know what hours are available for that store

Assistant manager at spencer’s of buckland hills mall of manchester ct
The female Assistant Manager was rude to me as a customer not once but twice. I went in wanting to purchase the large Scream Christmas ugly sweater from your Manchester, CT location. My son who is recently employed by Spirit Halloween aka your sister company, and the nice and pleasant management there said that both Spirit and Spencer’s has a 30% discount for family of employees. I had a pay stub from my son and all the information and she refused twice to not sell me any products and I am disgusted by how she treats her customers. She even didn’t hold the sweater for the second time she lied to my face saying she would place it aside. Please investigate this Assistant Manager because she is ruining the company’s reputation and I would not hire her at my professional family business because she shouldn’t be in a management position where she threatens and harasses her customers. I really don’t even want to do business with Spencer’s ever again because I wasted my gas and time twice for her to be rude disrespectful and unprofessional when I am trying to make a legit transaction! I will continue to support Spirit Halloween cause they are great management and employees at the old Dicks Sporting Goods location in Buckland Hills Mall in Manchester, CT. I praise your seasonal employees but your permanent staff at that Spencer’s will put you guys out of business and I am spreading the word if you don’t take action against her. Totally embarrassed and outraged!
Desired outcome: 30 % Discount on the $69.99 Large Christmas Scream sweater for my son being employed by Spirit Halloween. A stern talking to this assistant manager who thinks she is the CEO of Spencer’s and the face!

Online Ordering
Just wanted to give a heads up to NOT order from Spencer’s online. Sure their customer service replies fast but it is vague and misleading. First a lost package which I thought was just a simple mistake, then they ship out a replacement with missing items thinking I wouldn’t notice? THEN they cancel my new order with the missing items because they are “out of stock”, like why tell me a new order will be shipped out in the first place? It’s just so messy. Never again. Online shopping is supposed to make things easier.
The complaint has been investigated and resolved to the customer's satisfaction.
Terrible please don’t ever shop here again customer service associates are rude hangs up in you’re face lied tells you different policy you don’t receive you’re order go through hell to receive a refund lied to multiple times after you wait five business days for a refund just ridiculous
Rude cashier
Went to Spencer's in south park mall Illinois to purchase a Hack Skellington throw for my grandson. The cashier was playing on her phone. Her counter was covered in shirts so I went to other register. She snapped that I need to come over to her. She was so uninterested in ringing me up. I payed for my purchase and she barely put the change in my hand before turning away all without saying a word to me. Not a way to make people welcome in the store. I do not plan on returning.
Desired outcome: She needs customer service training.
