Editorial Review for Macy's – by Lauren McCutcheon
The Scene
In 1857, R.H. Macy opened his eponymous dry goods store in New York City. The tally of his first day's receipts: $11.06. These days, under the aegis of Federated Department stores, Macy's anchors malls coast to coast, tallying millions in yearly sales.
The Goods
Macy's is every shopper's department store, located along the retail spectrum between Sears and Nordstrom. Crowded displays boast second-tier labels: Lauren and Polo by Ralph Lauren, Reaction by Kenneth Cole, Allen by ABS. The shoe department features many upscale selections: Via Spiga, DKNY and Martinez Valero for the ladies and Cole Haan, Skechers and basic Bass loafers for the fellas. Otherwise, rely on staples: Wamsutta sheets, Royal Velvet towels, Clinique cosmetics, Gold-Toe socks and Carter's for kids.

The Spring Shoe Fashion show held on 3/27/2008 was a fabulous girls' night out event! Great wines and desserts while viewing all the latest styles. The models were very personable and knew where to stand so that all could view the latest fashions. Those who paused at each of the platforms were most appreciated, as all who sat or stood could view from any angle. Nice, personable ladies to speak wiht after the event, as well. The only things that could have been improved would have been better hors d'oevres, instead of desserts alone, and all the models using the ideal viewing angles of their shoes. Great job, Macy's San Francisco!

My friend and I went to the busy Macy's make-up dept (Clinique) to purchase 1 or 2 items. We asked if there were any promotional "free gift with purchase". The nice employee explained that their next promotion would begin in about 3 weeks but she would check to see if there were any leftovers from the previous promotion. My friend's purchases qualified for the free gift but mine did not. However, the employee was kind enough to give me one--without any attitude as she handed it to me.
Pros: Lots of variety.
Cons: Need to pay for parking. Croweded streets.
