Belk

My husband and I went to Belk to buy men’s dress pants for more casual cooler summer work wear. Store has decent selection for men’s dress but the male staff were not impressive at all. The male working in clothing did not ask if we needed help finding anything, which left me searching entire store for options. My husband found trousers he liked and wanted to try dress shoes with pants to see how they looked with shoes on. The male shoe department guy was hesitant to let him when I first asked. I told him that we needed slim European looking shoe and not Frankenstein shoe. The shoe rep then told me wouldn’t allow my husband to try on expensive shoe if he wasn’t buying them & then gave me bulky Frankenstein shoe. It looked ridiculous with the pant. My husband almost didn’t get pants because of shoe, so I told him to ignore shoe. He ended up finding dress trouser, jacket & shirt. Because the shoe guy was so rude and the other male sales rep Mia, we walked to other side of store to find a friendly lovely sales lady to check us out. The two men should be fired or taught how to be sales people.

The store is what is left from an old mall. They are rebuilding the area into an outdoor shopping area and should be nice when done. For now, Belk is still open. It’s a decent sized store but like most Belk’s has way too many items shoved into the space. You can barely walk through the sections b/​c the racks are so close together.
I had to run in here for a bathing suit while on vacation and was pleasantly surprised with the selection. They also let me use a belk coupon but not put it on a belk card. So the service was excellent!
