Shopping for Cookware is easy!
Posted by
GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA -- My husband took me out shopping for my birthday last weekend, hoping to buy me a new large cooking pot. We went directly to your store to see what was being offered. When we got to the cookware department, everything was laid out, easy to see & easy to price. We were able to review our options (there were several!) & find a quality 8 quart pot (by Martha Stewart) quickly & easily. Even the sales representative was friendly & helped us make the purchase so we could get out the door without a care in the world. I love Macy's & will be coming back to your store many times every year.

Macy's Bangor Mall Jewelry called me a thief!
Posted by
BANGOR, MAINE -- Last summer there were two bracelets bought in my family. My mother bought a $1600 diamond tennis bracelet for my daughter as a graduation gift and my boyfriend bought me a gold link bracelet for my birthday. The diamond bracelet was purchased in Boca Raton, FL and the gold bracelet in Portland, Maine. Back in September I noticed a spacer on the gold bracelet was broken so I took it back to Portland to be fixed. No problems whatsoever. They happily took back the item, fixed it, called me and seemed more than happy to help me. I noticed a few weeks ago that the link broke again. In the meantime, my daughter decided to start wearing her diamond tennis bracelet every day, and after about a week she noticed one of the diamonds had fallen out.
Last night I was in Bangor Mall in Bangor Maine. First I went to the jewelry department and nobody was there. We shopped a bit then went back. I had the price tag for the diamond bracelet and the sales and repair receipt for the gold bracelet. The sales person in Boca Raton told my mother that that little tag had the bar code on it that would bring up everything about the bracelet in the computer.
There was a boy behind the counter named Alex who basically told me I might have gone to another jewelry store in the mall or anywhere for that matter, bought an inferior product and then brought it to Macy's to be repaired so they had no proof that the tag belonged to the bracelet. REALLY??? I was trying to steal repair service from Macy's?? Then they told me they couldn't do anything about the gold bracelet unless I had a service plan on it. They told me three times they had a 30 day return policy. RETURN POLICY? Did I say I was trying to return anything? I did get a little angry that I was being called a thief. Insulted, hurt and very angry. I might have started yelling a little and probably got a little loud, but they just accused me of being a thief. Then the kid back peddled and claimed he said "some people".... give me a break!
Then the manager came over and they brought out a sheet of stickers and said that unless the bracelet had one of those stickers on it, they couldn't help me. Anybody ever have stickers on their jewelry that they wear?? Me either. He said those stickers allow them to look up anything in the computer and it will bring up a copy of the receipt so they can see the purchase. I thought the bar code on the price tag was supposed to do that.
History time... the same manager a few weeks ago wouldn't let me exhange a blouse that had one of those "stickers" on it because he told me the sticker was just an inventory control and that it didn't bring anything up in the computer.
The sales people involved didn't want to give me their names. I got the boy's name, but I wasn't able to get the girls name as she ran away fast. So I took a picture with my camera phone. I was then told that it is against the rules to take pictures in their store. LMAO... really???
So basically I bought have two pieces of expensive jewelry from Macy's that are defective and the Bangor Mall Macy's won't help out.
I called Macy's in Portland Maine this morning about my gold bracelet and they said "no problem, please bring it in we will be happy to help". I asked them about the diamond bracelet and they said they will call the Boca Raton store and get the information based on the tag information I called them.

Are you going to send the picture to the FBI?
Ponie on 12/29/2009:
Maybe it's just me, but I've never heard of a replacement diamond being supplied at no charge. Perhaps I'm mistaken but I presume this is what you were trying to accomplish. Take the bracelet to any reputable jewelry repair shop. They'll be able to put in a matching diamond. Of course, you'll have to pay for it.
Is 'Macy's East' different from just a 'Macy's' store? All the sales personnel in our Macy's stores have name tags.

So, were you trying to return it, or not?
beanbagbritches on 12/29/2009:
Actually, Macy's is pretty good about replacing something defective within a certain time-frame or providing an alternate item. I had to return a watch because the crystal face came off & our local store didn't have another similar watch. However, I was able to choose another style (which I still wear) & just paid the difference for. I'm not sure what the problem is with having gifts fixed, but the Bangor Macy's does sound somewhat under-educated about how to handle these things.

OP, how would YOU like it if some angry woman was trying to copy down your name and TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU. You wouldn't like it very much. Give me your name, let me come to YOUR job and take a picture of you to tell your boss how much you suck. Doesn't feel very good does it? How rude of you.

this may be why they "might" not want you taking photos of them in the store
plus it's private property...

Ummm, yes?
Stores generally don't let any Tom, Dick or Harry take pictures of stuff in their stores. Too many risks involved if they allow it, from stealing trade secrets to casing the place for theft.

Guess where I will not be doing my Christmas shopping
Posted by
WEST PALM BEACH, FLORIDA -- I have for a long time held Macy's in high regard. However, this opinion was greatly changed not so long ago when I tried to return a gold bracelet in your department store at the Wellington Mall, in West Palm Beach. What a disgrace – and I can't believe it happened at Macy's of all places.
On Sunday 28th October, my boyfriend decided to buy me a very special gift for my Birthday, at Macys. He managed to get a 65% discount on it so it cost him $156.00. When my boyfriend gave me the gift he said if I didn't like it I could take it back. Of course I loved it especially as it was carefully picked out by him.
About 4 weeks later the bracelet broke. I couldn't believe it as I really hadn't done anything to make it break. Unfortunately my boyfriend had already thrown out the receipt. Neither of us imagined for one minute that I would have to take it back. I really didn't want my money back for it, I just simply wanted to get it fixed or replaced. I took the bracelet back to the store in its original box (this is all they gave me) and explained what had happened. The store clerks were very rude and told me that there was nothing that they could do as I had no receipt. They really treated me as though I was a thief. I was stunned. I complained to the floor manager who told me that the fine jewelry department was not owned by Macy's, it was contracted out to another company. Why would Macy's have their name on everything and then not be responsible for its merchandise? Sounds like a convenient "rip off" to me. The manager for the fine jewelry department was off that day so I left all my contact details. Although I thought that my boyfriend had paid cash for the bracelet I could tell them exactly what day, what time, how much he paid for it and which day and time he picked it up.
I ended up having to call the jewelry manager myself. I told her that the bracelet was paid for in a presale. The manager snapped at me and said that wasn't possible as they never do presales. She was very rude and also implied that I was lying.
As it turns out after talking further to my boyfriend, not only did he pay for the bracelet in a presale (Sunday 28th October) his Mother who was with him that day took out a Macy's credit card just so they could save an extra 15%. He was not permitted to actually pick up the item until November 1st. According to the Manager of the jewelry department she has no record of the bracelet or the transaction. The transaction is clearly stated on the credit card statement.
So far I have still not been able to return the bracelet, which by the way I had a jeweler fix, only to have the bracelet break again in exactly the same place. I'm now glad that my boyfriend only paid 65%, just imagine if he paid full price for it. If he had bought a cheap trinket from Wal-mart, and had no receipt, they would simply have given him store credit. Macy's just looks down their noses at you and calls you a liar.
I am thoroughly disappointed with Macy's and I am now going to post my story in as many places as possible because I find it intolerable.
Guess where I will not be doing my Christmas shopping.

No receipt = No Proof. However I agree there should be a record of the purchase it can not be readily available, the burden of proof is on you not Macy's. I do not know if it is still the same way but before Macy's purchased Famour Barr their Fine Jewelry department was a different company who basically accepted Famour Barr charge as payment.

No receipt means no return and unfortunately, the burden of proof is always on the consumer.

I don't like Macy's. Over priced crap. I could by the same stuff at Kohl's or Penney's for almost 1/2 of what they push it for there.
If the problem is with the clasp on your bracelet, go to a jeweler and have them put in a new one. I had a problem with a bracelet constantly breaking, they put a new clasp on it and it was fine.
old fart on 12/11/2007:
Since Macy's followed the trend of expansion and absorbed other retail companies like Hudson's and the like they have never been the same.
When I lived in New Jersey, it was a real treat to go to the flagship store in Manhatten. Back then in the 80's the clerks would do anything for you and the prices were great.
The Christmas season was a shopper's dream...
Cyane on 12/11/2007:
It used to be that if an item was purchased on a Macy's card, then customer service could look up the card history and see that purchase. I don't know if it is that way any longer.

Useless coupons, misleading promotion
Posted by
I sent this to Macy's Vice President:
I used to like shopping at Macy's and am presumably the type of customer whom you would like to keep, given that I just spent $394 on three sweaters for my husband. However, you will not be seeing me or my money at Macy's again. You have bombarded me with coupons through the mail, in part because of the Macy's credit card which I hold - and which I am about to cut into two parts since I will not be using it anymore. I went with the coupons to the store, picked out the three sweaters for my husband, only to discover at the register that the coupons (ANY of the five coupons) applied only to one of the three sweaters. Having spent 20 minutes picking the sweaters out, I bought them but was quite displeased that the coupons were useless for two of the three. This will not happen again. I then went to try to buy some gifts for my daughter. I selected two items adding up to $48 and gave the sales person a coupon for $10 off of $30 in sales. OF COURSE, one of the two items didn't qualify for the coupon, which meant that I could not use the coupon. I decided to leave both items at the counter rather than reward Macy's for yet another "fake" coupon. I then went to the jewelry counter hoping to use any one of the coupons for a bracelet. Again, I was told that none of the coupons could be used. I did not buy the bracelet; instead I headed for the exit and I see no reason to return.
I am a marketing professor and teach the concepts of customer loyalty and lifetime value of a customer not only to MBAs but also to large executive audiences. I plan to use as an example your strategy of thinking only of attracting the customer but not of serving the customer so that he or she will return (e.g., lifetime value).
Please note: I once received such poor service from Bloomingdales (now owned by you) that I started using this incident of poor service in executive classes as an example of how NOT to handle service recovery. I had to contact the VP of Marketing at Bloomingdales to get my problem solved; however, it took two years to do so. I told this story to so many executive audiences that the VP at Bloomingdales heard about it and sent me a large floral arrangement asking me to stop telling the story; I have not stopped.
You have now provided me with another example of poor management and ill-directed marketing strategy. Your heavy use of coupons is directed to attracting customers to your store. However, the inability of the customer to USE the coupons (let's see, you can use the coupons on Tuesdays before 11am and Saturdays before the 27th of November and only on items whose brands contain C's, L's, M's or E's, plus they can't fall into any of 17 product categories) means that the customer gets to the register and finds that the coupons are useless; this is essentially bait and switch. You can't expect the customers to memorize the myriad of limitations to each coupon. If you actually do expect this of the customer, then you had better learn more about consumer behavior. If I have to educate myself about your rules in order to shop in your store using the very reason you provide to me to shop there (the coupons), I will not visit your store. There are plenty of other stores with good prices without having to use coupons, good merchandise, and no rules in tiny print with which I have to familiarize myself in order to make a purchase there at the expected price. The good news is at least that I did not have to stand in line at the register to learn that the coupons were fake; you have no lines! Apparently other customers have discovered the zero value of your coupons, have been equally offended that they took the time to visit your store only to find that the coupons were nearly without value - and that therefore your ultimate prices were not nearly as attractive as you would like the customer to think they are - and have voted with their feet. They are elsewhere shopping rather than forming lines at your registers.
The purpose of marketing is not just to attract a customer but to KEEP a customer. Your strategy is designed to frustrate customers who might otherwise be loyal. If you treat your customers as if they were stupid ("Oh, they won't notice that you can't use the coupons other than on every 29th item"), it won't take them long to leave you for good, as I am doing.
I will be using this in executive sessions as yet another example of poor marketing strategy. How sad that you have provided me with this opportunity.

The coupons were worthless yet you still spent close to $400 for three sweaters? So why complain? Macy's coupons are a joke considering that they are useless for maybe 90% of the merchandise in the store. Boscov's coupons are almost as bad.
Principissa on 11/28/2007:
I never cared for Macy's. I find much better deals for almost the same price at Kohl's.
It sounds to me like you should take your business elsewhere. Out of all five of the coupons you have only one worked. If you bought close to 400.00 in merchandise you would think that you could have gotten at least something in your purchase to make the coupons work. And they certainly don't tell you in the store or on the coupon what merchandise doesn't qualify so you have to find out just like you did. I get those same coupons in the mail.

The coupons, at least the ones printed in the paper, do details what brands are not covered. But the print is so tiny you need a microscope to read it.

I know. I have had the same problem as her. It is so frustrating when you think that you are getting a good deal and then get burned at the register. I gave up shopping at Macy's for this reason. Their merchandise is over priced and I could get a heck of a lot more for that same amount at Kohl's or JC Penney.

"burned at the register" is not as bad as being burned at the stake, let us therefore be thankful.

PassingBy -- I hear you on the Boscov's coupons -- they are a complete waste of the paper they are printed on. I don't think I ever been able to use one. BonTon/ElderBeerman is the same way. I love the Kohl's coupons because they are good on everything!!!
yoke on 11/28/2007:
Macy's also has the coupon items mixed with the noncoupon items. I refuse to shop Macy's for the same reasons. Besides like what principissa said you can find better deals at Kohl's and Penney's.

Some say, that the American Dream has become the pursuit of material prosperity (Useless coupons, misleading promotions) - that people work more hours to get bigger cars, fancier homes the fruits of prosperity for their families - but have less time to enjoy their prosperity. Others say that the American Dream is beyond the grasp of the working poor who must work two jobs to insure their family's survival. Yet others look toward a new American Dream with less focus on financial gain and more emphasis on living a simple, fulfilling life.

atln on 12/13/2007:
I am sure Macy's appreciates your business. Retails send coupons to customer's to not only entice them to purchase, but if you are purchasing applicable items, it is a reward for the consumer. As a marketing professor, I would think you would review the exclusions, or ask, prior to selecting and then, just because you have spent 20 minutes shopping, expect the store to accommodate you. The retailer has informed you in advance what will and will not be accepted. As a former marketing major, I am glad I did not have you as my retail/marketing instructor.

The Ring
Posted by
2300 EAST LINCOLN HIGHWAY, PENNSYLVANIA -- My search began when my wife spotted a diamond ring that she really wanted as an annivesary present in a Macy's catalog advertising their one day sale on various items 3/31/10. It matched her wedding and engagement rings and, much to my delight, was on sale for a couple of hundred dollars less than other rings she'd looked at. So I went on-line to order it. The web ID number wouldn't take so I called their Catalog center and got Irene. She couldn't get the ring to come up and her computer was jammed so she had to call tech support and promised to call me back. Okay, this is beginning to look a bit dicey, but by God I'm going to get that ring. Irene calls back after about 15 minutes to tell me the ring is no longer in stock at the catalog center warehouse, but she found several stores (my local Macy's wasn't one of them) that show it in stock, one of which is Oxford Valley/Langhorne, PA near Philly (I'm in Pittsburgh). She gives me the phone number to call them. It's now a quest. I will get that ring if I have to drive 7 hours to buy it. Fortunately, I get Meena in Macy's Jewelry Department at Oxford Valley. She checks stock (it's there!), takes down my shipping information, double checks to make sure it's the ring I want, and quotes me the price (sale price, but I'm paying shipping which is fine and a heck of a lot better than driving there). Meena calls later that night to tell me the ring (I'm now thinking 'The Ring, My Precious' kind of like Smeagle in Lord of the Rings) is on it's way. It arrives, it fits, my wife is happy (and consequently so am I), and Meena calls to make sure it arrived safely. The customer service given by Irene (catalog center) and Meena (Oxford Valley Macy's) was excellent. They were courteous and helpful. The product was what we wanted. I get +10 points in the husband rankings from my wife. Great job, Macy's!

Excellent review. Other stores need to take lessons from Macy's in regard to great customer service...now if they would just lay off pushing their employees to shill credit cards, that would be cool. These nice, well trained people are doing a good enough job without that pressure, too. I've never had bad service at Macy's. I hope the wife loves The Ring.

Crediting Payments To Wrong Account Assessing Late Fees
Posted by
SALEM, NEW HAMPSHIRE -- Don't get me wrong, I LOVE Macy's. It's by far my favorite store. My problem is with their business practices.
Every time I open a new account with Macy's (I have had many over the years), I get my bill with the account number on it, so I create a payee with my bank. I send in the payment, usually payment in full and the credit department will credit the wrong account and assess a late fee.
Every time this happens, and it happens every time, I call them to bring this to their attention and am always told that I need to add 2 numbers to the end of the account number in order for my payment to be credited to the correct account. So why don't they just give you the complete account number in the first place?
It seems to me that this is a fraudulent business practice and that some folks who may have many accounts with them, like myself, won't notice these extra fees and just go ahead and pay them.
My second problem with their business practices has to do with billing and charging late fees. On December 3, 2008, I received a bill for my department store credit account for $242.32. I paid it in full on 12/9/08 even though it wasn't due until 12/29/08 according to the bill I received. When I go online and view my account, I notice an additional charge of $33.76 with no explanation as to what it is for. So I complain (this is the second complaint for assessing late fees in one month, by the way) and get this response:

Dear Deestyle
Thank you for being one of our Best Customers and taking the time to contact us about your Macy's account. I appreciate the opportunity to respond to your inquiry and address your concerns.
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience this matter has caused. Since you did not receive the previous statements correctly, I was happy to remove the late fees and finance charges you were assessed. As of today, you do not owe anything to Macy's.
For the record, I have never missed a payment or been late on a payment for any of my Macy's accounts. EVER.

And I have so many accounts because there are some many different types of accounts offered by Macy's. I opened the last account because they offered me an extra 15% off a ring I wanted for Christmas to open it. Did I mention how much I love the store? I was able to buy the most gorgeous ring I've ever seen in my life, originally costing $2400 for $700.00...

ORLANDO FASHION SQUARE, FLORIDA -- My compliments to Linda Ramos for her help in selecting an infant gift. She was attentive and searched with me until I found the perfect gift. She showed as much interest in the choice of gift as if it was her purchase. She offered many suggestions that made it easier to make a decision. Excellent customer service!

On two occasions I was in the dress department at Macy's, Nashaminy Mall. First to purchase a dress. My Sales Associate was Elaine, 158-017-5930 who was very helpful in finding my size (2 or 4) in the dress I selected. It's difficult at my age to find a dress in my size that is classic and Macy's fills that need.
I returned the dress today and bought it again using a a Macy's discount card I received in the mail. My Sales Associate was Renee Jelle,158-017-5932. Renees was pleasant, helpful and efficient in the return and repurchase of the dress with the discount. Thank you for your courtesy. Sincerely, Jean Civitillo

Macy's antidote...
While the original Macy's store on 34th. street in New York is a fantastic place, most of the others are acquistions, I.e. Hudson's in detroit, among others...
Good service is wonderful but any business with NO complaints doesn't exist...

Very Helpful Employees
Posted by
HOLYOKE, MASSACHUSETTS -- I was helped by a wonderful woman in the ladies lingerie department at the Holyoke Mall store the other day. I have had a very difficult time finding a bra style that will stay on my shoulders and not slip off. Mary came to my aid when she showed me the line of Warner bras that have a bit of very soft rubber that runs under the bra straps. I have finally found a style of bra that I can wear in complete comfort!
Thank you, again, Mary for the wonderful help that you gave me. I'll call to be sure that you will be there the next time.
Sincerely, Donna

townie, might I suggest you run off a copy of this letter and send it to the manager of Macy's East at the Holyoke Mall? Although I may be mistaken, I don't think there's any way the store will know about the compliment you paid Mary. It was good of you to write. Too many of us (me included) will complain when something doesn't go exactly our way, but we seldom take fingers to keyboard to pass on the compliment. You are the exception.

On 7/8/08, I returned a pair of Lacoste shorts that I had purchsed for my son's birthday. After wearing them one(1) time and after laundering them, he asked me to iron them. During ironing, I found a tear about 1" long at the back pocket. I then found my receipt and returned them hoping they would replace them. I was lucky enough to get the salesperson, Gabe Duttlinger. From the time Mr. Duttlinger started helping me, he was wonderful. So agreeable, courteous and helpful. They didn't have the same shorts in the size I needed so he called the Lacoste Store in the mall and found a pair for me. He returned my money and I walked down the mall and picked up the new ones. If only all retail stores could have people like this working for them,It would be so pleasant for your customers. I know all customer returns are not valid, but this one was. The shorts were defective and I appreciate he could see that without making me feel like I was doing something wrong. This young man deserves all nice things in life. This is the first time, I have taken time to comment on an employee, but Mr. Duttlinger is truly an OUTSTANDING EMPLOYEE. J. Conley

Ed, of the Men's Dept in your Saugus, MA store was very helpful to me when I was shopping there July 9, 2008. I was waiting in line at another register when Ed came over and offered to take me to his register. He was very upbeat, took my coupons and processed my purchase without delay. He thanked me for shopping at Macy's. I would say he is an example of an Outstanding Employee and left a positive impression on me.

Stolen credit cards used at Macy's
Posted by
MISHAWAKA, INDIANA -- A year ago my wallet was stolen and I lost both my credit card and debit card. The thieves did some shopping at WalMart within 10 minutes of stealing the cards (that is another story). Then they went to Macy's and tried to use the debit card. That card had already been flagged by my bank and they were unable to use it. So they flipped out my credit card and Macy's took it without any questions. I spoke to the general manager of Macy's and was told that it is their policy to never question a customer on the validity of their credit cards because this might upset their customers. I think this is totally unacceptable. Two men were trying to use a woman's credit card and they did not ask for any ID. This took months to straighten out.

As I posted in your other review, its against merchant policy to ask for Photo ID as a basis for accepting a credit card, a merchant is subject to hefty fines if caught. And Macy has no right to question the thieves about the use of your credit card; they only time they can refuse the purchase is if the back of your card was NOT signed, and that is the ONLY reason a mercahnt can refuse to accept a card.
hello dolly on 05/03/2008:
Oh but a merchant can request ID to accept any card. Macy's may have chosen a different policy in their stores but no merchant is penalized for requiring id with a credit card.
bigboxworker on 05/03/2008:
No that is not true. I've worked in retail for over 6 years now at the corporate level dealing with POS operations. In the fine print of every merchant agreement we have with our acquiring bank and with Visa, Mastercard and Amex, we are NOT allowed to ask for Photo ID. Fines usually start from 400 dollars. However, many merchants do request to see photo ID because very few people are aware of such policies, or do not bother to complain or feel its in their interest. Either way, a merchant is not allowed to ask for ID.
yoke on 05/04/2008:
bigbox, if that is the case then merchants should be held liable for 100% of the sale if it was with a stolen credit card.
heaven17 on 05/04/2008:
I don't get it.
Why would there be an agreement to NOT check for ID when a credit card is presented? What is the reasoning for this bit of fine print? Can someone explain that to me? There must be some precedent for it, though I can't fathom what that might be.
And I've never understood why people go off when they're asked for identification. Seriously. I'm THRILLED when a cashier asks me for one, which hardly ever happens.
And if a scenario like the one involving the OP happens, that's when all of these folks who freak when asked for ID do a 180 and ask why no ID was required at the time of purchase!
I REALLY don't get it.
DigitalCommando on 05/04/2008:
Heaven, the CC companies are responsible for the loss of any fraudulent transactions, not the store. Therefore why should the store try to police it? CC companies want their transactions to be performed swiftly and conveniently for the customer. The real way to solve the stolen credit card issue, is to have your picture on the front of the card, as some banks and credit union cards do now. I think it should be mandatory for all cards. Losses to the CC companies from stolen cards only represent about 2-3 percent of their total losses, write-offs of bad debt make up the balance. So you can see why they are not as concerned as we think they should be.
Nohandle on 05/04/2008:
Heaven, I don't either. I commented on Jeannel's other review on Walmart. What is this, the right to privacy? I remember when one gave a check to the cashier and automatically presented his driver's license at the same time. I have no problem proving my identification.
DC, you answered my question before I could post: CC companies are responsible for the loss of any fraudulent transactions, not the store. Your comment is the first I've heard of pictures on the front of the card. Obviously this is something new, or has not come to my area yet.
DigitalCommando on 05/04/2008:
Nohandle, due to the dept. of homeland security requirement that all drivers licenses be produced in a machine readable format, store scanners will be able to "scan" your license and store all of the data on it, including your home address. Hackers have broken into virtually every major retailers system already. Laptops have been lost and stolen which contains sensitive info and I'm sure you have seen several cases of this on the news. This additional information would be the biggest contribution to identity theft ever seen before and hands hackers all of your personal information including your photo. Being "open and free" with your identity is becoming more and more dangerous especially with the DHS's "REAL ID" act requiring all states to comply with this new drivers license format.
Nohandle on 05/04/2008:
Well, DC, there appears to be no solution to this problem unless you can think of one. Again, I'd not heard of photo ID on credit cards until you mentioned it. Would this be the beginning of a solution?
Ponie on 05/04/2008:
Nohandle, several years back I had a CC which mailed me an offer of a card with my picture on it. Can't swear to it, but believe it was a Citi card. I was to mail in a certain dimensions pic and they'd issue a card with it displayed. Never took them up on it. I also don't remember the name of the company that advertises this, but some company says they'll issue cards with any picture you supply, such as your cat(s). :) This is a background picture over the whole card.
In this case, we have a consumer who complains because no ID was required for use of the card. OTOH, they're probably the same consumers who would complain to high heaven if they were asked for ID when trying to use their own card. Doesn't bother me one bit if I'm asked for ID to use my CC. I just whip it out and thank the cashier for checking. It's a case of damned if you do, damned if you don't.
DigitalCommando on 05/04/2008:
I think having your picture on the front is idea #1, #2 would be to require the entry of a pin number (just like you have to do with a debit card) and no other ID would be required or necessary. JMHO
CrystalSword on 05/04/2008:
I don't sign any of my cards...where the signature is supposed to be...I put "CHECK I.D." and they do ask for my ID almost every time. The town is small enough that most know me by name and I think they'd be more inclined to ask for my ID if I paid with cash!
hello dolly on 05/04/2008:
Bank of America offers the picture on the front of both the debit card and credit card. Since they have taken this safety measure I use only the debit and credit card I have with them. If only the whole industry would get on the program.

Furniture Department
Posted by
Tim T
SOUTHFIELD, MICHIGAN -- Let me first say that I am not one to normally complain. However, Macy's furniture department beginning with their advertisement to their employees knowledge and competence are just, well...ridiculous.
My 75 year old mother saw an ad in this weeks Detroit News for a leather recliner on sale. She went to Macy's at The Southland Mall where the chair was actually displayed and was told they did not stock the chair but The Macy's at Northland and Oakland Malls both did. The following day, I drove 45 miles in my truck to my mother's house and then drove another 20 to Northland Mall. First of all the furniture dept. almost appeared as if it was closed due to the absence of anyone around. Seriously, without embellishment someone dishonest could actually walk out with a room full of furniture from the showroom and no one would even know it.
When we finally found a salesman we also ran into a retired couple who were interested in the same chair. They had originally gone to Macy's at Twelve Oaks Mall and were also told they had to go to either Northland or Oakland to get the chair. The salesman upon hearing this began a rant and said how those sales people are incompetent and don't know the facts (nice image for the store). This response was because that actually none of the stores stock furniture. Even though the ad says "In Stock". The warehouse is in Ohio and even if you were willing to drive there, customers cannot pick anything up there. Just to get the chair to one of their stores it would be $15 !!! This is crazy!
So the advertised sale price of $ 599 should actually be $ 614. Let alone that this practice is just wrong and actually false advertisement. "In Stock" means a customer can leave with the merchandise. The whole thing does not stop there. We finally said okay, the whole transaction took over 90 minutes !!! This is for a single chair. During this time there were quite a few other customers who needed help and could not get any. I was appalled by the whole thing. I closed on my home in less time than it took to buy a chair. I doubt anyone from Macy's management will read this as it seems they do not care.
All that furniture inventory sitting there month after month adds up and costs quite a bit. Any financial difficulty that Macy's experiences can probably be greatly aided by better logistics, management and policy. A chain as large as Macy's should be professional and efficient. Maybe they figure adding $ 15 to the price will make up for it?? I would like to say that the Manager "Marlene" did come over and do her best to alleviate the situation, it did appear that she was up against crazy store policy and trying to please customers. She was apologetic while assisting the incompetent salesman. I hope someone from Macy's reads this however, I highly doubt it. The next time in the market for furniture, I doubt I'll even consider Macy's.

We had a similar problem with Filene's (now Macy's). The item was in stock and we could pick it up right there, but we would have to pay an additional $15 just to get it out of the store. We decided against the piece and got something similar at Ramour and Flannigan(we did not have to pay a fee to get it out of the store).
Does anyone know if the furniture department is owned by another company and that is how they can charge the $15 release fee?
Ponie on 12/30/2007:
I once wanted to purchase a chair from Macy's when they were Marshall Fields. I could get next day delivery--for $80. Wouldn't let me pick it up myself. Told them thanks, but no thanks. Went out to the Art Van Clearance Center on 14 Mile Rd. in Warren. Saw a comparable chair. I bought it, tossed into the back end of a friend's truck and all I had to pay in delivery services was a 6-pack!
I absolutely hate Northland Center!
Anonymous on 12/30/2007:
I thought that was what stores were for, you know, you walk in and you buy something and you walk out with it? Well what a new concept we have in today's world, "come in and give us your money and we will get back to you" now that's something I just can't seem to get a handle on...
DebtorBasher on 12/30/2007:
It was just announced yesterday that there are 6 Ohio Macy's stores closing down because they are not making any profit...seems that false advertising like this can be a good reason.
Anonymous on 12/30/2007:
Lidman--I totally agree. It is sad the way some stores are run today. As for the comment by AlleyS--if you make a comment on this site, who are you talking to, if not to everyone? A moot point, I would think.
anonymous on 09/28/2013:
If you read the fine print on all store adds you will see that they do explain what in stock or that delivery fees apply. It can save time if you read the full add and the fine print

Summer Art Activities
Just a few more beauties!
Summer art activities
This is a wonderful drawing by Charley of a Jester which ties in with our Tudor art theme.
Don't forget that art activities are running all through August, and if you haven't been before, now is the time to visit as it's generally a little quieter in the galleries when the weather is good!
I tried out a printing session with young adults the other day. We looked at designs from the 1950s (on clothes from our collections and in books)and then made some prints based on them. The printing techniques were a mixture of relief prints (like lino but using softblock) and monoprinting. Here are some of the pictures which are fantastic! I'll try and get round to adding more soon.
I'm planning on running something similar next year for adults and young adults (aged 16+) so if anyone has any suggestions or would be interested in having a go, please get in touch.
Summer Art Activities
Art activiites have begun in Oriel 1 for the summer and will continue every day throughout August. It's a drop-in session and runs from 11 until 1 and then 2 until 4. We are looking at lots of things to do with the Tudors and making models of Tudor Buildings.
I'll be adding more pictures as the summer goes on!

Examine actual case studies and see interviews with believers and skeptics in this balanced look at the use of psychics in criminal cases.
To many people it is a disgrace to justice. Others say that anything that might help break a case is justified.
More and more police departments occasionally turn to psychics for assistance on cases that have gone cold. But is there any real evidence that these PSYCHIC DETECTIVES can help bring criminals to justice? The Unexplained. examines this phenomenon through actual case studies and interviews with psychics, police officers and skeptics. Meet a man who says that the emotional energy left behind by a traumatic event leaves a trace that can be detected years later. But skeptics claim that these psychics are charlatans, inventing realistic-sounding scenarios that the police want to hear - and that when they break a case it is merely coincidence.
Whatever you believe, this is a thought-provoking look at one of the strangest trends in law enforcement today.

American Song is an eclectic collection of music from Americans of diverse origins and all walks of life, from America's past and present. The songs are by and about American Indians, miners, immigrants, slaves, children, pioneers, cowboys, and ordinary people. They touch topics as varied as Civil Rights, political campaigns, Prohibition, the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, anti-war protests, and more. And the range of genres includes country, folk, bluegrass, Western, old time, American Indian, blues, gospel, shape note singing, doo-wop, Motown, R&B, soul, funk, and others.
When the administration of the Western College for Women – now a part of Miami University – opened its campus to civil rights activists in 1964, the institution followed its long tradition of independence and innovation. An estimated 700 young, idealistic college students from across the north arrived in Oxford, Ohio for voter registration training before leaving to serve in Mississippi to register African-Americans to vote and assist with local community projects, like Freedom schools and the building of community centers.
Today, the story of Freedom Summer has the power to evoke important questions about American identity, public life, engagement, and commitment. This exhibit will focus on local resident Roland Duerksen and former student volunteers Carole Colca and Mark Levy. They have left the legacy of their work in the Western College Memorial Archives. This exhibit, which includes photographs, letters, audio recordings, and an interactive map of Mississippi, will serve as a narrative of their dedication to civil rights and social justice.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Illinois College recognized nationally for community service
Illinois College is the only institution in the state outside of the Chicago area to have earned a place on the 2013 President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll for its strong commitment to community service for seven consecutive years. The college has achieved this recognition each year since the Honor Roll was launched in 2006.
In releasing an in-depth report of community service programs at college and university campuses nationwide, the Corporation for National and Community Service praised Illinois College for achieving Honor Roll status.
Illinois College President Axel Steuer said "Illinois College is honored to accept this award on behalf of our students, who conducted 114 extracurricular service projects in conjunction with 73 community organizations and schools. Our students are helping meet important needs in our community and abroad, while building their own leadership skills."
Illinois College reported that 533 students engaged in academic service learning courses during the 2011-2012 academic year. Overall, Illinois College students completed 37,708 service hours, including 236 students who engaged in at least 20 hours of community service per semester.
Steuer noted that he is very pleased that Illinois College students' leadership and service has been recognized in every year since the inception of the President's Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll. "I will always be proud of what our students have accomplished." The Honor Roll serves as the highest form of federal recognition a college or university can receive for its commitment to volunteering, service learning and civic engagement.
According to Leadership Program Director Karen Dean, one of the projects that helped the College achieve Honor Roll status is the Sonya Project, a literacy initiative in two District 117 elementary schools. Each college student in the program is matched with a child in grades 2-5. The children read books with their college reading partner each week. Dean says the results have been impressive. "Participants' average reading score on the standardized test increased by 21.3 points. In addition, the children have gained important relationships with college students who can continue to serve as mentors and role models."

AP Movie Writer
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Christoph Waltz really owes Quentin Tarantino. Waltz won his second supporting-actor Academy Award on Sunday for a Tarantino film, this time as a genteel bounty hunter in the slave-revenge saga "Django Unchained."
In a choked voice, Waltz offered thanks to his character and "to his creator and the creator of his awe-inspiring world, Quentin Tarantino."
Waltz also offered gracious thanks to his supporting-actor competitors, who included two-time Oscar winner Robert De Niro and Oscar recipient Tommy Lee Jones, who had been considered a slim favorite over Waltz for the prize.
A veteran performer in Germany and his native Austria, Waltz had been a virtual unknown in Hollywood when Tarantino cast him as a gleefully evil Nazi in 2009's "Inglourious Basterds," which won him his first Oscar.
Waltz has since done a handful of other Hollywood movies, but it's Tarantino who has given him his two choicest roles. Backstage, Waltz had a simple explanation for why the collaboration works.
"Quentin writes poetry, and I like poetry," Waltz said.
The foreign-language prize went to Austrian filmmaker Michael Haneke's old-age love story "Amour," which had been a major surprise with five nominations, including picture, director and original screenplay for Haneke and best actress for Emmanuelle Riva, who turned 86 on Sunday and would be the oldest acting winner ever.
The top prize winner at last year's Cannes Film Festival, "Amour" follows the agonizing story of an elderly man (Jean-Louis Trintignant) tending his wife (Riva) as she declines from age and illness.
Haneke thanked his own wife for supporting him in his work for 30 years.
"You are the center of my life," Haneke said.
The Scottish adventure "Brave," from Disney's Pixar Animation unit, was named best animated feature. Pixar films have won seven of the 12 Oscars since the category was added.
The story of an dauntless princess (voiced by Kelly Macdonald) who balks at her parents' attempts to marry her off, "Brave" won out over a strong field that included Disney's "Wreck-It Ralph" and "Frankenweenie."
"I just happen to be wearing the kilt," said "Brave" co-director Mark Andrews, who took the stage in his trademark Scottish garment.
The upbeat musical portrait "Searching for Sugar Man" took the documentary feature prize over a lineup of sober films that included the AIDS chronicle "How to Survive a Plague," the military-rape critique "The Invisible War" and the Israel-Palestine studies "5 Broken Cameras" and "The Gatekeepers."
"Searching for Sugar Man" follows the quest of two South African fans to discover the fate of acclaimed but obscure singer-songwriter Sixto Rodriguez, who dropped out of sight after two albums in the 1970s and was rumored to have died a bitter death.
"Thanks to one of the greatest singers ever, Rodriguez," said "Sugar Man" director Malik Bendjelloul.
Oscar host Seth MacFarlane opened with a mildly edgy monologue that offered the usual polite jabs at the academy, the stars and the industry. He took a poke at academy voters over the snub of Ben Affleck, who missed out on a directing nomination for best-picture favorite "Argo," a thriller about the CIA's plot to rescue six Americans during the Iranian hostage crisis.
"The story was so top secret that the film's director is unknown to the academy," MacFarlane said. "They know they screwed up. Ben, it's not your fault."
William Shatner made a guest appearance as his "Star Trek" character Capt. James Kirk, appearing on a giant screen above the stage during MacFarlane's monologue, saying he came back in time to stop the host from ruining the Oscars.
"Your jokes are tasteless and inappropriate, and everyone ends up hating you," said Shatner, who revealed a headline supposedly from the next day's newspaper that read, "Seth MacFarlane worst Oscar host ever."
The performance-heavy Oscars also included an opening number featuring Charlize Theron and Channing Tatum, who did a classy dance while MacFarlane crooned "Just the Way You Look Tonight." Daniel Radcliffe and Joseph Gordon-Levitt then joined MacFarlane for an elegant musical rendition of "High Hopes."
Oscar producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron lined up a top-notch cast of stars as presenters, including "The Avengers" co-stars Robert Downey Jr., Samuel L. Jackson, Chris Evans, Mark Ruffalo and Jeremy Renner. They presented two prizes that went to the shipwreck tale "Life of Pi," cinematography and visual effects.
"This movie was quite a beast to make," said cinematographer Claudio Miranda, who shot dazzling images for the story of a youth adrift on a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger.

Archimonde can perform 21k of damage to tank in a 3 second frame if you are unlucky.
There is an ongoing debate amongst tanks on whats better to gem up and enchant. Is stamina better than dodge? This can not be answered without adding a context in which you can compare these stats. You want to both avoid being killed before healers can react and avoiding making the healers go oom before the fight ends.
In order to prevent being killed before the healers can react you need enough stamina, armor and shield block to soak up (physical) dmg.
If you can define what a sufficient healer reaction time is, and how much damage you can be hit for during that time, you can also determine how much effective health you need before you can start stacking other stats like avoidance or threat.
Lets first agree on what is sufficient healer reaction time. I propose 3 seconds, as this is the cast time of a greater heal.
So, what im asking you guys for is data on how much a certain boss can dish out within 3 seconds timespan. If we know that we can determine effective health needed for each boss. Then you know what you need to gear up to for that specific bossfight.
Edit: nothing scientific about the values below. Just some values put forth.
Archimonde: around 21k
Morogrim : around 17k

In summary, TBC raiding is easy. 9/10 encounters can be summarized with 1 phrase. Stay out of the fucking fire.
Panda Cub with a Gnome pet!
I believe something like this is a long[ish] term project.
As far as I'm aware, we're waiting for the ThreatModelling code [which also models DamageTaken] to be uploaded and then results will be added to the database.
It'll be a few weeks at the least till it gets working.
Also depends if you want to assume that at least one blow crushes (which sometimes happened as to me yesterday when Gorefiend ate both shieldblock charges and then roundhousekicked my with a crushing blow for 11k before SB was up again).
Otoh purely reactive healing is healing pre Naxx. Its a pretty outdated model nowadays (due to the changed relations between the heal output, the stamina pool and the potential damage a bossmob can inflict).
Yesterday against Morogrim:
hh:mm:21 seconds : Morogrim Tidewalker hits you for 5400 (x damage blocked).
hh:mm:21 seconds : Morogrim Tidewalker's Tidal Wave damages you for 4200.
hh:mm:22 seconds : Morogrim Tidewalker hits you for 7500 (crushing).
You die.
Raid dies.
And that's only 2 seconds :x
Maybe we can forget about the quantitative way of doing this and instead just put some numbers up that you feel are apropriate? Its always a start.
READ THIS: Posting & Chat Rules
There is definatly a sweet spot between EH and Avoidance, but stacking all stamina is not always a bad thing. I still put 12-15 stam gems in all of my gear and always will a large % of my avoidance is not ever going to come from gems.
Not having enough avoidance can lead to your shield block being burned to fast and eventually some big crushing blows, unfortunatly this is mostly luck based. So there is for sure a good sweet spot but that is going to change based on your healers and tank.
I decided that 15k unbuffed hp was my sweetspot for current content (Gruul down, working on Mags, retired from Kara) I'm sitting at 15,214 right now which I believe, for my place in progression, is pretty good. I am looking to get my dodge over 20% (19.38% now) without losing too much HP.
Replacing +8 stam on gloves w/ +15 agi
Replacing +120 armor on cloak w/ +12 agi
that should do it and leave me over 15K and with 16.7K armor. Add a little crit too.
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
Well my guild has Magtheridon on farm and I cant die in 3 secs with as low as 14k unbuffed, in my experience.
I don't really know where else to go. I could get some +hit for more threat but my DPS is really going to have to pick it up before that becomes necassary. The only other option is to go for more avoidance and if I can get the value in converting over, I will do some. I picked up some dodge with the neck off Maiden and dropped 5 stam from the JC neck.
I don't see how I can have too much EH. I get a steady stream of rage, I take less damage per hit and I give my healers a wide cushion. Most of our failures come from lack of execution, not simply losing the tank. You can have 30K hp or 50% dodge but if your healers all stand in cave ins or ranged can't learn2cubeclick, it doesn't matter.
15k was a personal goal, something I could reach with a little creative manuvering and farming off the progression track. My avoidance is a little low but not too terribly much so I think but I am all ears if yall think I should ease up on the EH a little and go for a little more avoidance.
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
I just took the liberty to armory you...I guess switching out trinkets is probably the place you can look for. I don't know whether you own a pocket watch, its a very nice trinket to greatly increase your chances for survival or to proactively ease the load of your healers if you are on the move for example. Its passive stats are very nice as well. The Autoblocker is nice as well but since you don't have threat problems, its not really necessary. Getting an Adamantit Figurine might be an option, 32 def rating is pretty decent and will be needed for Hydross anyways. In the end, having large cussions is nice but having at least the option to increase your avoidance should be your next goal for gearing up. Some fights almost scream for it (e.g. MT on Karathress).
Heh, the Pocketwatch is like my white rhino....I can't seem to get my hands on it. I would definitely love to have it, though. I will probably go for the Tier 4 chest piece as well...not necassarily 100% of the time, but it offers alot of the stats I lack...at least have sacrificed up until now.
I am not willing to give up too much, I am pretty stubborn, but the low avoidance numbers have been bugging me a little. In any case, I know for certain I should be able to stand up to any T4 or really any T5 boss equipped like I am. I could certainly improve between here and there but I am not slacking.
I am looking at building an avoidance set.
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
No chance for the stopwatch now sucka!
Heh, while it is true I have retired my tank from Kara, I will have opportunities to fill in here and there...I know a certain bald headed priest that once again, has shot himself in the foot and passed all the gear upgrades to everyone else (though still pwning the healing meters) that is getting together a little hit squad to blow through one night a week and I may be helping with that.
Actually, he invited my druid and I wanted to heal against him but I thought it was better for my other group, being stocked on tanks and having one of our healers flake out, to swap in my druid there.
your hat may be nice, but I have the little white tank top that says Legendary right across my boobs. I win. (or more correctly, H wins)
