Bobby's Department Store

I found some high quality jeans and shirts for my daughter, but the staff were rude. It may have been because I was the only caucasian in the store. I felt unwelcomed, whether by design, I don't know, but it wasn't pleasant. I tried to return a pair of jeans with the price on them and the receipt, and had to argue with the sales person to obtain the right refund. I was told to stand in 3 different lines to get the refund, and then was told to step aside because they couldn't help me. I wondered if there were unwritten rules that had to do with race... I would go back, but only with the awareness that the inexpensive prices were a trade-off for decent customer service. Don't go if you're in a hurry or want an efficient check out/refund experience.

I like to take a drive down to Bobbys Department store in Brooklyn for things, because of their prices. I like to get clothes from here for my kids, because they are cheap, and they will grow out of it soon, they have great bargains on household items and the service is fast and efficient. The selection is extensive and you can walk out with a good amount with a low budget. Its definitely worth the trip.

Bobby's is not your typical department store. You can come in everyday and get different significant bargains on clothing (women, men, children), household supplies (cleaning supplies, pots, pans, utensils, bric a brac, lamps, tables, mirrors, vases), beauty supplies (soap, lotion, hair stuff), food (snacks) and a large selection of window blinds, pillows, blankets, sheets, etc.

My one weakness is their shoe section. In the summer, it's a mad dash for their great selection of cheap (really cheap in price not quality) sandals and shoes. You can get about 3 or 4 pairs of very nice in style sandals for about $15. Can't beat that. The store is so popular, you can always expect long lines. That's really due to management not always opening up ALL the registers, not the cashiers. The cashiers are always friendly and move relatively quickly.

PROS: Discount prices, great selection of apparel, shoes, household items
CONS: so much stuff & people, it's sometimes hard to maneuver through the store

This is a store like Cookies. It has a lot of cheap children's clothes, but in addition it has other items for adults. I prefer Bobby's Dept. Store because it is a larger space, which means you can actually breathe without inhaling someone else's bad breath. You can walk in, pick up your items, and have them checked out in a reasonable amount of time. The place is well-organized in sections so everything is easy to find.

I love shopping here. Thier prices are amazing, and the selection is unbeatable. They have all sorts of items, including strollers and a very large selection of clothing. The one thing I didn't like was that I was told that strollers are not allowed, which makes it difficult if not impossible to shop when you have a child with you. There have really nice items at low prices. There is also another store across the street that sell even more items including kitchen appliances. The lines are usually long so sometimes you need to expect a delay.

If you are on a budget. this is the best place to come and buy stuff for your home. they sell things for your hair, skin kitchen items, bath room items, clothing and shoes. but the place is not always kept in order, clothing are on the floor and they just pick it up and put in on the hanger dirty and all, even in the clean pile you will find clothing with holes in them. lines are long and cashiers are slow
