JCPenney - Augusta
INFP me Its rare that I have a reason to be at a mall.
Being the introvert I am, I tend to avoid places where I might encounter loud herds, angry drivers, or forced interactions.
I was pleasantly surprised when I chose to start my hunt for an outfit here, rather than risk the delay that might come with ordering via online.
Penneys was a favorite of my Moms, so I began here.
The store was clean and orderly.
Things were in place.
They had some sales which caught my attention and caused me to side-quest, inform others, and share the bargain details.
The staff were friendly and they didnt pursue me, aggressively to assist me, which pleased me very much. They were polite and I felt like if I needed help, it was easy to find.
I was reminded how most big anchor stores feel sterile- and almost like a rat maze- as each section bleed into the other with little deviation.
The lighting, I both appreciated and hated, as it was harsh and too bright for my liking but when dealing with color detail, it helped identify the differences in shades or patterns a breeze.
I didnt find what I was looking for but because they had the sale they did, I sent DH and son in a couple of days later to pick up a couple of things.
My daughter went with me. We didnt go in the weekend, but midweek- and we went in the late afternoon- early evening.
There were people there but no herds. It was quiet but active.
We didnt use the water closet in the store and we didnt really browse beyond the first side quest.
Ill have to try to make it out here more often.
