Easy Pickins - (Near Bronx, NY)

1 /5 Daniela Diaz: Online it states they close at 8pm. Multiple occasions I try to open the door at 7-7:30 to grab a quick outfit or something I need to find them CLOSED. 30 minutes ago I entered the establishment to no greet no hello. I proceed to check out any items I might be interested in to then go downstairs to the shoes. As I’m looking around and actively trying shoes on, about 15-20 minutes pass and all I hear is a “Oh you’re still here? We’re closed how are you here?” I stated how in the world would I know you guys are closing, if no one came downstairs to tell me? The worst part is I was wanting to purchase my the shoes I fell in love with but with the register being counted and me being kicked out I wasn’t able to. Info is misleading as well as the terrible service. How is a CUSTOMER supposed to know that you’re closing (no 5 min warning and no one came to check if anyone was downstairs shopping) I told the lady at the register to do better and to have people actually working because how is an active shopping customer going to know you’re closing early, time and time again. It’s been occasions I’ve wasted time going to this shop to find them 45-30 minutes closed earlier.

3 /5 Samantha Brodie: When it comes to shoes and some accessories, your more than likely to find something for you. As an average size woman you will be able to find something to your liking, but as for the plus size woman... you will find you experience to somewhat underwhelming. There are options, but nothing compared to the smaller size section which take up 95% of the stores main level, and just a small section in the back of the store for plus size. The customer Service is always nice enough. Ive never had much of an issue with anyone there

1 /5 H Okine: *****BEWARE OF THIS LOCATION**** I’ve shopped at Easy pickins for many years specifically the Southern Blvd location in the Bronx, most of the time my experience was good but today was one of the most humiliating experiences I’ve had at Easy Pickins and it will be my last time shopping with the company. I came to Easy pickins to find a pair of flats for work since spring is close by in a few weeks. I was trying on various sizes of a specific flat shoe because i noticed the cut of the shoe is a bit small. One of the employees came and stood next to me as I was trying on the shoes without asking me if I needed any help. She just stood next to me on her phone while side eyeing me and gave off the impression, I’m watching you so you don’t do anything wrong, so I said to her, how can I assist you because the encounter made me feel very uncomfortable while I was shopping and there were other customers in the shoe section that were shopping and were not being attended to making me feel like I was singled out for this particular reason. I picked the shoes and took it to the cashier and paid for it. I asked to speak to the manager. To add insult to injury, the manager told me that what her employee did was standard protocol and I shouldn’t even take this incident personal unless I came into the store to actually do something wrong. As a black woman not only did this make me feel very uncomfortable but it’s actually disgusting that a store establishment should even assume that all people of color come into a store to steal. There is security sitting on a ladder before you even enter and leave the store. so they will notice if they see something is wrong within the store. Just as many other reviewers have mentioned, this location takes pride in making black customers feel uncomfortable shopping, it’s not worth it. There are plenty of other stores on the Blvd where managers and employees are respectful of all races and a customer’s shopping experience but this establishment isn’t one of them. I will no longer feel comfortable returning to this location nor Easy pickins for that matter. Good shoes for budget prices but it’s not worth the harassment from employees nor management staff.

1 /5 Elouise Townsend: System issues with credit cards, so I was stuck in the store for over an hour until they could rectify the issue. They had to call a manager from home to come in for help with the system. I couldnt leave because they had already taken my money and they couldnt give a receipt and wouldnt give me what I purchase. After an hour and a manager coming in, the system still was not fixed but the manager allow me to take my purchase and said she would have someone fix the problem on the coming Monday. They stated that this problem occurs all the time.
