In the first week of November I purchased two size 3 boys coats and one girls coat size 6x. The brand is Weatherproof. The girls coat started coming apart in two places. I returned the coat to a store in Shawnee Oklahoma and was refused any help replacing the coat or getting credit on a replacement. The service manager was very rude. Penny's has lost a customer that has shopped your stores for years. I went to Kohls and bought my great granddaughter a new coat.

Calling looking for my refund on my credit card. Both representatives hung up on me because I asked to talk to a supervisor. Well, I do know, Ed didn’t want me to talk to his supervisor because he was very rude to me via phone.

I was walking out of Penny's in Barre Vermont.three cashiers stood at the beginning of the store when a short blond woman said and I had my child with me and the cashier said boy that's an ugly little girl and the mother is fat and my little girl heard it and she cried all the way home. Too bad you cannot keep those bitched busy. This was the worst behavior for adults. It happened at Berlin mall. I will never shop your store again.

Yesterday while standing in line to pay for my item(capital City Mall-linen dept around 4:30 to 5:00 p.n.) one sales girl was busy waiting on customers and answering the phone.(WISH I WOULD HAVE GOTTEN HER NAME!!!) She called for Amanda for help. Well, Amanda was on her cell phone and made NO ATTEMPT to help. In fact see made eye contact with me several times. When she finally made her way to the sales counter the young lady asked her to help the customer on the phone. Sure glad I was not the customer on the phone--very rude--and did not go out to look for what ever the customer wanted---I had heard the other salesgirl say.,"I'm sorry I am with a customer, but will have someone else look for you". Amanda then got off the phone and gave a false appearance of being busy. I finally went to another checkout. When walking back thru the linen dept. I notice hard working Amanda was gone leaving her co-worker to handle everything while she enjoyed her cell phone..
I have never been SO PISSED off in your store as I was yesterday.to have an employee treat another employee in that manner. Also very upset with myself for not finding out the young girls name that was trying her best to help everyone--she needs praised for doing a brilliant job!!
Amanda on the other hand???????( Amanda Counsler)

My wife and I have been customers of J.C.Penney for years and considered it one of the best stores for clothing and other things we needed. We use the J.C Penney store in Hamilton Place mail in Chattanooga. Before that we used the stores in Kalamazoo Michigan. We always saw them as a store a step above most department stores; About 2 years ago we saw a trend of moving backward so we cancelled our J.C. Penney credit card and started looking for other places to shop. Service was declining and the stores where not being kept up like we have grown accustomed to over the years.. On May 4 we where out shopping and decided it was time to see if J.C. Penny had made some improvements and we were looking for a certain shoe, Ked's Leather shoe for women. We found a right shoe being displayed that was a size 9 (Just what we needed) The entire shoe department was a mess. We than looked for the box with the other shoe in it and never were able to find it, so we decided to see if we could get help. My wife went one way in the store and I went the other. We went around the entire store and could not find an employee. Finally I asked at the cashier's desk if anyone was working that was not at their desk. They told me they where not sure but would try call someone to meet me at the shoe department. In short order a young lady showed up but knew nothing about the shoe department and did the same thing we did, which was look through the mess for the box with the other shoe to no avail. As we left we commented that J C Penny doesn't compare with any of the other department store including bargin stores. I called the manager on duty as we exited the store and after listening to excuse after excuse we made our purchase at another store where the shoes where displayed in an orderly manor and there where people on the floor to help us. I see J.C, Penny slowing losing customers and folding like other stores have had to in the past. WHAT A SHAME GOING FROM ONE OF THE TOP DEPARTMENT STORE TO A RAPIDLY DECLINING STORE. It truly hurts me to see the negative direction of your store. I wish you the very best but you will need to make it without my families support. Thank You

purchased mens skecher go walk max at 39.99 after discounts returned for sketcher memory foam on sale for 59.99 same price as returned shoes would not consider as even exchange had to pay $15.00 extra and when I got home no sales slip in bag not pleased with response of clerk Holyoke mall store don't get why I had to pay extra purchase only 1 week before return

20

The store wasn’t busy at all. We arrive and there is only around 5 people. The clothing is fine, but the prices are overrated. We head to the checkout and the employees took forever to check out everyone! The services is the worst part! I do not suggest JCPennys.

Hi I tried to buy an advertised electric skillet today at Lakeline Mall. I was told I couldn't use the 10% coupon as it was nor valid on electronics. Showed then the flyer I received and it was there in black and white that you could. Neither clerk had a clue so I walked away without said skillet. Then my dad paid cash for a t-shirt he gave him a 20 so that is what he put in the till, my dad realized if he gave him 1 more dollar he would get a 5 back, again same clerk wouldn't do it saying I already put the amount in. Wow totally disappointed with this store and wont go back that is for sure!

I purchased several items yesterday at the Penny's store at 41st and Yale, Tulsa, OK. I paid with a personal check and they ran the check through my bank. I asked for my check back and they refused. I talked to the supervisor for the clothes department who told me that they HAVE to keep all checks -- even though they were run through the bank. I told her that they ran my check through twice last month and my bank had to straighten out the mess with you. I told her that I did not want that mistake to happen again and that MY BANK TOLD ME TO ALWAYS GET BACK MY CHECK AFTER YOU HAD ALREADY RUN IT THROUGH MY BANK. I told the supervisor this, but she told me that your policy is to keep the check anyway.

So, I must keep a close watch on my bank statement this month to make sure that your store does not run my check through my bank AGAIN. If so, I am going to report you to the Better Business Bureau and I will raise the question are you purposefully trying to get an extra payment out of unsuspecting customers.

I will rate this experience as minus 1 million!

Jim and I purchased a wedding band and an engagement ring at the Uniontown Mall, Uniontown, PA. Both rings needed re-sized - Jim’s band went from an 11 to a size 13. My engagement ring needed to be a size 7.5 from a 7. It took 2:weeks to come in. When the female person called to say it was in, the Penney caller was so rude and non-professional, I called back and registered a complaint with the supervisor Caroline and then Jim spoke with the manager, Mary Jo. Initially, the rude employee said only the men’s band came in. When the manager called, she said both rings were there.

We went to get the rings Saturday April 13, 2019, Jim’s band was OK. The engagement ring that was sent to be resized from a 7. to a 7.5, CAME IN AS A SIZE 5!!!!!!!!! How can that happen when the typed instructions stated for the ring to be a size 7.5.

Uniontown only has Penney’s as a department store. I would think every effort would be made to keep the residents happy. Well, I am not happy. Spending $1,000 is a lot of my to two retired people who want to get married. At this time, we will have to move our wedding date with the complete error on your company.

Bought Samsung refrigerator in October 2018....and river with dent in door. Still not resolved 5 months later. Working with JCP and Samsung...both parties blame each other......this has been the longest, most frustrating display of customer service. Have been a JCP customer for over 30 years.......I need a new door or credit if my problem not resolved.

I went to the Appleton avenue store for a watch battery. I spent over ten minuets in the jewelry department before one of the 1/2 dozen employees, who were milling around talking to each other, managed to ask me if I needed help. Then I was told that only watches that were purchased at the store could have a new battery put in. I would view a watch battery as revenue and an entry purchase, but I guess JCP has all of the customers and revenue they could want. Customer service is really what you sell, so if you do not change you will be out of business.

I RECEIVED A BILL IN NOV.3 2018.I WENT TO jCPenny in Erie,Pa.at the Millcreek Mall and told the manager I wanted to pay the bill.she informed me that I could not pay the bill.sHE Told me to call the number on the bill.Icalled the number on the bill and I was informed that I could not pay the bill.So here it is 2019 and I have been harassed because your people are incompetent.i will only pay what the original bill.next stop attorney general if this is not resolved within 14 business days.

Just visited store in Flint, MI. Purchased a pair of jeans and tee shirt. Tried to use a coupon I received on the weekend which stated on coupon “use now through April 14”. Was not allowed to use because Manager said it was not valid yet. Then I must have a different meaning of the word “now”. Would not have gone if I had known I couldn’t use coupon. Been a customer for 30 years or more. Not sure if I will shop there again

I was tried to make payment in my account ended at 7289 the machine said there is no payment needed at this time. I received bill for this account number. I tried to get a whole of live person was not successful. I have made several complaints about this situation nothing is done to correct it. Something it should take few minutes to complete would an hour. If the company can not correct the problem they should have live person to do the job. The way this machine is computed would force customer to leave the company because it takes too long to solve problem of two minutes. Yur sincere customer.

I arrived at the jewelry department store in Town East Mall in Mesquite Texas on March 9, 2019. I stood in line but was ignored by the sales person named Elvis who was Hispanic. He served two other Hispanic customers until I stopped him and told him I was there first. Elvis ignored me and kept doing what he was doing. Finally he asked me if he could help me, but he was standing at the opposite end of the display. This was an obvious case of racism. I returned my item and refused to make another purchase with JC Penney. Later another worker assisted me in my purchase. As for JCPenney, if this does not get resolved, my wife and I will never shop at your store ever again. I can't even sleep tonight because this is eating me up!

Monday I went to the hair salon in Toledo, Ohio. My hair was 6 to 7 inches long. The beautician spoke about the length immediately and I said I wear it long, I do not want it cut off. She said she could do that. I said she could trim 1 inch off possibly 2” at the bottom. I have bald spots and need the Longer hair on my crown to cover them up. Also my hair is very fragile on my crown and breaks off faster than it grows; and has a cowlick on the top where it flips forward like a mans hair line. It has to be a certain length like 5 inches for it to weigh enough to lie over the cowlick and not flip forward.

When she complained about the length and how much time to put it up, I reminded her again it could be trimmed . She replied that only taking off 1 to 2 inches wouldn’t matter which to me is not valid. It took her an hour to put it up on very large perm rods. She said she had to piggy back the rods since my hair was so lomg. Since I thought I had long hair I let her use the larger curlers which no one has ever used before. She said she should charge $10 to $15 dollars extra for the extra time. No one has ever charged me before or even mentioned it.

After being there for 2 hours, I was tired and my neck hurt since I had neck surgery. I was wet since rinsing my hair soaked my clothes and she couldn’t get them dry with her heard dryier. I said I live 5 minutes from the store, I would go home and get my clothes and hair dry. It was snowing when I left. I was freezing with wet hair and clothes. When home, I had to hurry and get dried off. Then I looked in mirror. I was shocked at what she had done to my hair. My hair is now 3 to 3.5 inches on the crown and maybe 4 to 5 inches around the neck and sides. It stands straight up in the crown and shows my scalp, cowlick and bald spots. Now I understood why at the end she said she was not going to charge me for curling the extra length...she had maliciously cut it all off at the end when I thought she was snipping off a few over permed ends. No one should ever be given such a horrible haircut. It is the worse and shortest hair cut I have ever been given. What’s even worse, She did it on purpose.

She walks away and doesn’t have to deal with the consequences of this bad hair cut. I have to live for a year with this horrible hair cut for it to grow back out at the bottom around my neck line. Unfortunately, it may take several years to grow back the length on my crown if I live long enough and don’t go bald there. She knew what she had done or she wouldn’t have told me she was not going to charge me for the extra time. I repeat, she did this on purpose. I will never understand why. I will never come back to this hair salon.

I am sending a picture of the crown area. I have another showing the cowlick in the back and how it stands straight up.
I will try to send it. Obviously, I no longer have any hair 7 inches in length.

I went to the Lake Charles, La. J.C. Penny's today to buy some men's shoes. There was only one guy working that side of the store. He was helping someone else and never got to me. The shoe dept. was a mess. I couldn't find me size or style. There was no place to even sit to try on shoes. I felt like I was the only one in the store. Frustrated, I left and went to Academy sports an bought my shoes at half the price of Penny's. I am a J.C. Penny's stockholder. If we continue to do business like this we will go bankrupt! I read on Yahoo, that they compared J.C. Penny's and Macy's and the service at Macy's was great as well as the Merchandise was presented well, and clean. J.C. Penny store the Merchandise was a mess and nobody came to offer any help. If we are to survive people at the stores need to wake up. Their jobs are at stake and our shares are at stake. If this kind of attitude and service continues we are doomed. Somebody needs to start Kicking somebody's butt and getting people in gear before it is too late! I was very disappointed with my entire experience!

Thank you,

I went to the store in Raleigh nc and they has a refrigerator that had a wrong price. I tried to buy the item but they manager said it was a pricing error and he cannot the price. I was advised by the associate to call cooperate office. Corporate office stated they cannot tell a store to sell it to me at that price. The best the manager can do is offer a 20% off regular price. very disappointed customer

Recently I purchased women underwear Underscore briefs at a cost of $16 per package. I purchased 4 sets including the cotton kinds. After only a few short weeks the nylon leg rubber is coming a part. I thought it would only be one pair but it is all of them. That is quite a bit of money to spend on underwear that does not last at least 6 months. The colors were white and beige. I would like a JC Penney credit or refund. I am embarrassed to take worn underwear back to store. I am senior citizen and need plenty of underwear. They were a size 7.Thank You. The purchase was made in 2019. I do shop at the store frequently. JC Penney in Lake Charles , LA

Ordered 4 items online for Christmas on 11/23/18. Received 3 out of the 4 and 4th was still showing in transit as of 12/5/18 - never rec'd it. I called customer service & was told by a representative, Brian, that I had to file a claim with UPS. I asked why I should file a claim as I paid JC Penney and they should refund my money. He was very rude to me and said how do they know I didn't receive it? I said if you look on UPS tracking it shows - "in transit" and not delivered. Every time I tried to speak he talked over me. I asked to speak with a supervisor and he said he was a supervisor but could only give me first name and not last due to "security issues". I filed a claim with UPS but said they have to reimburse JC Penney - when I asked why I was not being reimbursed for an item that I had already paid for and not received, they said that is how it works with JC Penney.

As of this date, I have not had my money returned for the item nor has anyone reached out to follow up with me. Very poor service. My shipment order no. was 2018-3276-2146-2434. I never received the product which was a sterling silver necklace which was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my daughter-in-law. I want my money back asap and will probably not use JC Penney online in the future as too much hassle if an item is not received.

Placed a order for adjustable bed frame and mattress 11/12/18.
A told shipper cancelled part of our order and have lost the other. We were advised to reorder which we did. As of today we are still waiting to hear from anyone and have been charged for both orders.

To whom it may concern

My mother (Peggy Pettaway 252-864-1866) bought my daughter a bracelet from JC Penny for her birthday in August 2018. The bracelet was on sale if she used her JC Penny's credit card, in which she did. My mother used her credit card AND gave the cashier the money for bracelet. A month later my mother received a bill for the bracelet and went back to the store (in Greenville, NC) and showed her receipt that she paid for the bracelet. My mother explained to someone in customer service that she already paid for the bracelet. The manager said she would look on the camera to see if she actually did pay with the credit card and pay the money but the manager stated she couldn't find the video. My mother finally told the manager that she would pay for the bracelet again but she would never enter or buy anything else for the store. The total for the bracelet was over 100.00 and it is not fair that my mother has to pay twice for this bracelet. My mother shops has your store often and you have lost a valued customer.

I was at the camp hill JC Pennys 12/19/19. I saw these earring on a table for $25.00. It was a special. I picked up a box and asked the associate if they were $25. She said yes. So I went to purchase the earrings & she said the ones I picked up were more. They were a bit bigger of a stone. I said I asked you & you said they were $25. She said well these pair are not. I showed her the empty spot on the table where I picked them up. Turns out they were the only ones of that size. If all the ones on the table the ones I picked up were more. I asked for a manager. Manager said oh these are more than &25. They were I think she said $149. I said I should get them for what the sign said. She said well the ones I picked were more & the sign said the smaller stone was $25 but there was one sign, all the earting boxes were the same size & I picked the ones that were a bit bigger not knowing they were any different. They would not give me the earrings for the same price so all the stuff I bought at Penny’s over $500 worth, I’m taking back. So disappointed!!!!!

The worst store ever. Hiram Square has the rudest employees on the planet. They do not care about their customers; therefore, they do not care about people. I have been waiting on an order to be delivered and they are not helpful at all. Keep telling me to buy from another store without providing me with the items I have already paid for.

i purchased 3 xersion lightweight womens puffer jackets lst year 2 of them the zippers are broke i would think that they should not have any issues being year old and to get new zippers would cost me 30.00 each which i am not going to do,will you take care of this problem

You just finished the Sweet Sale tonight. I could care less about the candy but wanted the discount as I was buying Christmas Presents. I ask one associate where to get the candy..she said Mens Dept. I went to Mens Dept and I found a person walking through that worked there and she said it's over..we ran out about 3pm. It was 5pm when i got there from work. She started walking away and I said can I speak to a manager..she,said she was. Is there any way i can get a discount of any kind. She said no. So i put everything down and went to kohls. How fair is it that because i worked and finally got there and get turned away and they could care less. They could have ran out on Friday and no one would have gotten any Saturday. She could have even offered me the lowest discount and I would have been happy, but nothing!! So much for Customer Relations. It was a wasted trip and wasted time. This was the Saratoga Springs, N.Y. store.

I ordered a bed from JCPenney, and delivery guys (XPO Logistics) showed up with only 1 part, and we refused the delivery. Even though the item on my account shows "Returned", still JCPenney has not returned my amount and they say that my item was delivered; despite the fact that the delivery sheet clearly states "Pick UP ONLY", they are not even ready to take this as an action item to follow up with their equally dishonest delivery partners XPO.

I purchased this necklace on your website I put it in my cart bought it next day or two I got email saying it was canceled I was very upset if it wasn’t available would it say OUT of stock? So I called customer service told them I talked to three different managers they were all rude and making jokes about my order getting canceled I have never been treated so disrespectful from customer service and I have never bought anything online then days later an email saying it’s out of stock, I order online all the time too. If I was able to put this necklace in my cart purchase this then it should be mine not out of stock.

Ordered an electric blanket for an elderly neighbor- store to store. Its seven days later and it still has not arrived. Had I known it was going to take THIS LONG, I would have ordered it from Amazon or Walmart and had it 2 days later. Yea, it might have cost a few dollars more , but at least he would have had it before the winter storm hits this weekend. Have not shopped with JC Penneys in years, and now won't do so again. Very very disappointed. Lesson learned.

Upon returning home I did not find the receipt in the bag.
The items purchased are Christmas gifts, men's clothing. Is it possible to get an itemized receipt.If not, how will I return the items if it becomes necessary.
The purchase on my Discover account says: J C Penny 2132 if this is any help to you.My phone number is 239 352 9294.
My email address is: cnanaknit@aol.com.
Thank you.

The person waiting oon me was yawning all the tome I was being waited and the person that approved the transaction was very rude. Took almost 30 minutes to get check out with only two pair of jeans. I usually shop online but my greatgrandson needed jeans because it was so cold. Hopefully someone else will check me out if I ever go back to shop in the store again.Maybe I want have too. I love Jc Penny’s cloths just a bad experience with two very rude people.

I was in your JC Penney, Briarwood Mall location in Ann Arbor, MI on Black Friday, 11/23/18. I had to use the bathroom and went to the bathroom located in the teen girl section. The only stall available was the middle stall, the others were being occupied. When I entered the stall I noticed that there was no lock, nothing to secure the door closed. I took my chance on someone opening the door while I was using it, but was not prepared for what happened. As soon as I sat down, the outside bathroom door opened and someone came in. They didn't say anything, they were quiet and all of a sudden they kicked in my stall door. It hit me direct in the forehead causing me to scream and the perpetrator(s) to run. I believe they were trying to scare the teen girl in the stall next to me. They had been in the bathroom earlier and kept asking when she would be done. My head was on fire it was hurting so bad. I waited for the teen girl to come out of here stall so I could question her about her friends and she kept denying it was her friends. I left the bathroom and went to the nearest cashier desk. The cashier immediately starting laughing when I told her. I asked for the manager who came down right away. I told her what happened and she filled out a incident report. They also called maintenance who said that the bathroom had just been cleaned and nothing had been reported about a stall door not locking. I told them to check out the bathroom right then since they didn't believe me. They said they would put up an "out of order" sign and would put a lock on the door immediately. I went back 2 days later and no sign and no lock. Still. Really? Do you not care that I have a concussion now? Do you not care that someone else is going to get hurt and the next person may be small or old and that kind of hit could kill them. This is absolutely the worst thing ever! Talk about non safety in your store! I have pictures of the door without a lock on it. I also have pictures of a wall in the bathroom that has a huge hole in the wall and nothing has been done to fix that either. The bathroom is disgusting and not safe for anyone. Please tell me what you are going to do about this!
Also, where do I send my medical bills?

I sent an email within six hours to cancel an order, and also called within 24 hrs to cancel an order. I know the item was not shipped at this point. it was on the Thanksgiving Holiday weekend. I replied to the email immediately when I received it -to cancel the order. I also called and reported the order number and asked that the item be canceled, In a live chat. When I spoke to a representative, she told me that the system would not allow her to cancel the item. Is this true? Once you order an Item, it cannot be canceled even if it has not been shipped out. The item was shipped 4 days after it was placed.

I am completely disappointed with J C Penny. I will not be ordering on-llne or shopping here again.

Where do I begin... I placed an order for same day pick up on November 18th before 2 pm. I was told that it takes about 4 hours to receive an email that my order would be ready for pick up. I received an email about an hour later stating half of my order was canceled. So I called JCPenny to cancel the whole thing. I was told I couldn't not cancel unless it was within 30 minutes of placing the order. I responded by stating that I didn't know until an hour later that half of my order was being canceled by them so how it this fair? I was told I would need to pick up my order and then return it. Fine. So I waited....it is now November 26th and I am still waiting for an email about my SAME DAY PICK UP. I have called corporate who tells me the item was shipped to the store?? But I still can not cancel it I have to call the store. The store itself doesn't answer the phone. I do not want the product, I do not need the product anymore I ordered it an received it at my door in two days from another company. This place is the worst for customer service, price, time, shipping, stock, policy. I will in fact make it a point to let everyone know what an awful business this is. While I still patiently wait for the item I was charged for almost 10 days ago.

I purchased a Cooks Air popper and the sign said that I would get a $14 rebate but was told by the cashier to go online to get it and that they don't have any in the store. I checked online and could not find any rebatess for this item so I just called the small appliance dept.
and they told me that they do not have any rebates eligible for that product. This is false and deceiving advertising by JCPenney. I will never buy another appliance from this store. My name is Cynthia Davis and please contact me at (314) 495-5046.
I am very displeased and upset.
I thought that I could trust JCpenney but I was wrong. I hate to be lied to and then no one gives a damn because they have your money and I'll let others know about this as well.
Reason of review: rebate not eligible.
Monetary Loss: $14.
Preferred solution: Let the company propose a solution.
I didn't like: Store or staff.

We bought an electric range at the Erie store on 11/08/18 with delivery date 11/13. We understood that the range would be hooked up upon delivery, but the delivery men said they were not authorized to hook up electric ranges. We sent the range back and canceled the order. We are very disappointed. Apparently the clerk who sold us the range didn't know that the delivery people would not do the hook-up.

I recently purchased a new pair of glasses from your optical department. I received a voicemail message that my glasses were in and I could pick them up 10/26/18 between 10am to 6pm. Well I was there at 10 am and nobody was in department. I asked for a manager and store manager named Kristen told me there was nothing she could do? BAD ANSWER! Your communication is HORRIBLE! You leave me a message that my glasses were in and when I could pick them up and nobody was there? I was getting "there was a miscommunication? REALLY? So I wasted 40 minutes for someone to finally show up. Mall manager kept saying was "I apologize". I am almost a platinum customer and have been shopping JCP all my life and I am now 62. Well. today was my last time EVER shopping at JCP and understand why they are going out of business! No offer to compensate no nothing...manger simply did not care! So , now I don't care about JCP! VERY upset and disgruntled customer!! David Lamb

To Whom It May Concern:

On October 06, 2018 my daughter, Jennifer Lafferty, had made a purchase of seven men’s T—shirts from J. C. Penny’s on line shopping.

The pick up date was scheduled for October 15-18 to the Poughkeepsie Galleria. When checking on the order, my daughter found out that two of the T—shirts were on back order but that five had already been shipped to the store.

When she informed me that five of the shirts were in, my husband, for whom the shirts were ordered, made the 40 minute drive to J.C.Penny, Poughkeepsie, NY to pick up those that had arrived.

Upon arriving at the store he verified all necessary information to the clerk but was then told he could NOT receive the ones that had come in due to a rule that the entire order must be available before pick up.

Nowhere in your email confirmation does this rule appear. Also, when speaking with one of your rep’s on the phone, this information was NOT provided, making this trip to Poughkeepsie an unnecessary one!

This action caused loss of time, gas and only succeeded in producing stress and aggravation. In lieu of this, I thanked my daughter for her efforts but told her to cancel the order as there is no telling how long it will take for the remainder of the items to arrive and we were not planning another trip to Poughkeepsie in the near future.

It is my hope that J. C. Penny perfects their practice in serving the customer and they don’t follow down the road of Sears and K—Mart.

Respectfully,

Dawn Lafferty

Went to Chesapeake Mall tonight to purchase hair products from the salon. Employee was assisting someone when we got there. We stood there for 10 minutes and she never addressed us. My husband asked her to help us when she was done, she never acknowledged us. After 15 minutes of being ignored, we walked out! This young employee needs customer service training , you lost a sale tonight and a customer, how many more?

I ordered curtains online. They were expected at in store pickup on the 17th. Things happen I know, but I still chatted with your online chat service to see the curtains whereabouts. They told me yesterday that my curtains were delivered to the store yesterday, Friday the 21st, and to contact the store because they probably were not scanned in yet. I contacted the store like I was directed to on Saturday the 22nd. I told the online order lady the situation, to which she laughed at me. After looking up my order she told me it still wasn’t scanned in and to call back Monday or Tuesday, because she wouldn’t be able to look through all the packages for mine.

We bought a refrigerator on 9/2. Order number 2018-2455-4087-6544. It was delivered today with huge dents on the front of the Frigidaire Gallary. They put our refrigerator in our garage and now we do not have a refrigerator in the kitchen and can’t park our car in the garage. I called Paris in customer service and he refused to give me his bosses phone number. He is the MA manager. He said he would fill out a case number but could not give me the information. I must say JC Penny really let me down. Now our old refrigerator is in the garage that still works. I was told that they have to order a new one. Paris said I turned down replacement parts. I was never offered replacement parts and I want a new refrigerator. I can’t believe a 100 year old company forgot how to take care of customers. Because of this, I want a refund for the refrigerator and I will buy from a different company that cares about their customer. . Refund my money immediately.

I frequent the Instyle Salon in Goodyear, AZ on Mc Dowell on a bases. I love the stylist I see and she always is friendly and professional. I was there yesterday and while I was getting my hair shampooed the Manager Janice Woodruff came to the back and in a unprofessional and disrespectful manner asked the girls who were working. what the problem was with the sinks. Instead of nicely asking she stormed in the room and addressed the issue.

As a regular client there, I found her attitude annoying and disrespectful to the girls working there.. I expect to come into any salon and hear what the problems are. I do expect a pleasant and relaxing experience. Perhaps these issues should be addressed away from clients and Janice should learn how to address co workers in a professional manner.

Thank you

August 1 I was shopping the Central Mall store in Fort Smith, Arkansas. I wanted to buy the $25 diamond ring I got the notice on my I pad for. The clerk was rude and abrupt saying sold out ad started last week. this morning that same ad is in the Fort Smith Times Record. There also was a big display with multiple identical boxes of sterling silver 2 pair earrings that were priced $49 on sale for $10. When I went to check out she said they were $32. I feel this is false advertising. In my attempt to finish my shopping I went to the online site, but it would not take my discount coupon. I also feel that this store merchandise Is less and less every month. I have been a loyal shopper at Pennys for many years. But if this practice is not improved I will be forced to take my business elsewhere. I appreciate your attention to this matter. You may reach me at 479 369 2087. Thank you.

I was on line ordering three items and when I finish only one item showed up on screen . So, I went back trying to correct it and ending up getting two invoices. Now I,m stuck with the same items twice. When I called your customer service they told me that I did not call in time to cancel one of the orders. All of this was done within the span of an hour not the next day or last week. Being told that I will have to send one of the packages back is distrubing to me.. I,m a senior and do not get around because of my leg. Please help. Invoice numbers are 2018 1975 4040 0934 and 20181976 2042 5488.

I have bought St. John's Bay tees at Penney's for years. The store didn't have any in navy so I ordered four online thinking they were be the same that I have bought in the past. They were very inferior and didn't fit the same. I returned them to the store but didn't receive a full refund. I called customer when I got home and spent over 30 minutes with them trying to pull up the order. I had my receipt with the order number. I guess they didn't refund the shipping. I certainly don't think I should pay shipping for something that is poor quality and not the same as the product was in the past. Then today I checked on a rebate for an air fryer that I bought at Penney''s May 4th. I had to do the live chat online and then call Penney's rebate center. The card was sent to my post office box number but in a different town. The representative said someone keyed in the wrong zip code. My zip code is 76226 and the other zip code was 76247…....not even close. I think I am finished shopping at Penney's after spending too much time trying to take care of problems they created. Penney's has problems.

Hi, I tried to get the Birthday coupon before April but I did not get a response. The coupon was for$10 on a $10 purchase. I have tried several times and got no response. If this coupon is no longer good for Birthdays shouldn't someone let me know. I was going to get some clothes for my Birthday and use this coupon .I would use another coupon if you send me one. I tried to print several on the J C Penny listing but they would not print.Thank you for a response or a coupon. My Birthday only comes once a year. Thank You William

Order # 2017-3305-8122-5214
I ordered a shoe on line on the 11/26/2018 and still l have not received the item. I went to the store in Oaks Mall on Monday and was told its due to be delivered on the 8th. I went to the store on the 8th and was told JCP store is closed due to electrical problems. I again went to the store on the 9th and was told again item is due to be delivered on Tuesday the 12th. I'm sorry it was free to be delivered at home but l taught picking up in store would be quicker. I was wrong as there is no proper communication and l do not trust it would be delivered even on Tuesday. This is a Gift for a friend and frankly, the time l needed item has passed and l am disappointed.

Amazon delivers in 3 days and if they do not have item in stock, would give you the date it would be delivered. I do all my shopping at JCP and frankly, this is my last .

Vey disappointed and l feel its not worth all the hustle if JCP cannot deliver on time.

The jcpenny in west covina pick up from online,they need to find a better way to have customers pick up online orders because they have a check out and pick up same place and you gotta wait about an hour thats why i buy online so that i do not wait in line this makes me not want to ever buy and pick up at jcpenny again

I ordered 2 shirts online 9/29/17. When they arrived on 10/9/17 the shirts were not the correct color/style. Returned them to the store with no problem but cannot get the correct shirts I ordered because it says they are out online and are not available in my store. I am upset that when originally ordered online they were available and due to JCPenney's messing up I can now not get the shirts I wanted. The email sent to me to show they had shipped showed the correct shirts I wanted. Never received an email saying they would not be available or anything so jcp messed up in sending me the wrong shirts and now cannot get me the ones I originally ordered. I am very unhappy.

Woman's dressing room. The west Covina, CA Jcpenny woman's dressing room is disgusting. The walls are dirty & there is always this dirty chair in there that has stains all over it. It's like they don't even care. Jcpenny wasn't always like that. What happened?

My wife went to the salon in lake city Fl. in which we are new to the area.Having always used Penny's for her hair. This visit was the worst that she has ever had. She has gotten perms and it always took about 2 hrs. This was done in 55 min. and came out with a wet head and was told it will dry by itself. She got sick and had to be put in the Hospital so when she got better we stopped in to talk to the hair styles and was told it looked OK and that is all that can be done. She wanted to have her hair colored but with the way she was treated did not want it done with them. There was never an apology and never talked to see what could be done to fix her hair. Felt this is not the Penny's that we are us to always willing to rectify the problem?

I had an item to J.C. Penney that needed return and I stood in line waiting for my turn, when i went to to the register, the associate named (Claudia) asked for my receipt and I gave it to her, she started to process the return and when it comes to refund my credit card, she asked to me insert my credit card, although CC machine displayed swipe CC for refund, anyway, i followed her instructions, but it didn’t work, she tried again and same results.

I told her that the machine displays swipe J.C. Penney CC, but she replied to me very rudely, that the CC has a chip and this is the only way to do it, and she tried to call MOD, without any luck, I asked her again to just try it as the machine says, but again in a very aggressive, confronting rude tone she said no, these are the rules and I have to follow them, and then she tried to call MOD again. She kept me for 15 minutes till she was able to reach MOD, who advised her to swipe the card.

So she did and completed the refund. I told her that I have been asking you to try it for the last 15 minutes, her response to me that I always have issues with return. I asked her what do you me, I have my item (unopened) I have my receipt, she didn’t reply and hand my the refund receipt very rudely with out an apology for the wait, her mistake or her nasty attitude. I am not sure how you hire such people in front line. I need a response from you management regarding this experience and someone needs to speak with her.

I am very discouraged by the J.C. Penney black friday promotion this year. I was fortunate enough to receive one of these coupons and attempted to use it online per instructions. I used the chat feature on your website and they told me I could not use the coupon online and needed to wait until after 5p to use in store. That is not what the coupon states as you can see. Very frustrated by poor customer service.

I am so disappointed. On their page they have a picture of a hutch for sale and that picture includes a changing table. However the changing table was not included. When the hutch came I was very disappointed to discover this. I looked to see if I could buy the changing table and what do you know, they don't sell it anymore, even though they keep a picture of it up. So when I asked to return it I was told I had to pay $75 dollars on top of the $75 delivery fee. So in order to get it returned I had to take a $150 loss. The hutch was $160. I am so mad and upset about this, I don't know if I will ever shop at JCP again. Also, the lady I talked to at JCP online was so rude.

On Sunday November 13, 2016 I was in the Woodfield, Schaumburg, IL J.C. Penney store. I found in your store an a.n.a black jacket while walking to the shoe department. The jacket caught my eye and the price was very appealing because of the sale sign stating that it was $24.99. It said "Juniors' Pleather Jackets" and the whole rack was filled with both black and camel colored ones of the same style. Not even thinking, I tried it on and thought the jacket fit well and the price was good. At check out the jacket rang up for $69.99. I told the cashier that the sign said $24.99. Because the store was busy she asked her department manager, Patti, for direction.

Patti told me the price was $69.99 and walked off looking for the sign. I followed her and showed her the rack and sign. She pointed out that the $24.99 price was only for the jackets that were originally $52.00. She checked the rack, and didn't see any $52.00 jackets and started checking all the racks in the vicinity looking for the $52.00 jackets. She came back to the original rack and found found two intermixed with the $120.00 jackets. As I was standing there she didn't say a word, showed me the two $52.00 jackets that were on the rack intermixed with the $120.00 jackets. I asked her why the sign said $24.99 and the rack was full of $120.00 jackets.

She said that only the Juniors jackets were marked down and the a.n.a jackets were not Juniors, I asked how was anyone to know which jackets were juniors and which were not by the brand name. I did not receive and answer so I returned to the register to pay for my purchases. As I was standing at the register I happened to see Patti come back with the sale sign that she had taken off the rack of jackets. As a department manager Patti was unprofessional and huffy and was not interested in this at all, her J.C. Penney department made a pricing mistake and she was not willing to make it good. Her attitude was: it's not $24.99 and that's the bottom line.

The end result should have been that I got the jacket for $24.99 and the sign taken down. This seems from shopping at J.C. Penney's that it is normal for them to have the sale sign on the wrong item. I find this to be a bad business practice and will have to think twice before shopping there again. Please see the attached pictures to prove my point.

I placed an order for a pair of boots on jcp.com and had them shipped to the store. I was told they would be ready in 4-7 days 15 days later the store can't find my order called customer service no one can seem to track the shipment and on top of all that I have to wait 3-5 business days to hear from someone about a refund. This is the worst service I've ever had and very annoying. I will never order from them again!

I was in the J.C. Penney store #0766 331 Brandon Town Center Brandon Fl 33511 on 10/0/16 @ 19:00 I went to the Jewelry dept. because I needed a battery for my watch. There was 3 cashier's working one Asian lady at one counter with a customer and 1 Asian, l white lady at the other counter with one J.C. Penney customer. I proceeded to the counter with 2 cashiers patiently waiting the white lady looked me in the face and didn't acknowledge me. So I went to the other counter and waited a gentle man with a beeper and wearing a red shirt came through the store and stood exactly where I stood. She was laughing with him.

She left that counter and went to another count still not acknowledging me. So I asked him if it was someone who could help me at the repair counter and he said sure and called her over. She came over to the counter and I told her that I wanted to get a battery for my watch. She went on, & on about I didn't get the watch from penny's, wanted to know where the back was I told her that I did, She really argued with me about my watch. Then she said that penny's only did that during the week. I told her I was traveling and just needed a battery.

She then told me that she didn't have one. I have never felt racism like I felt that day. I told her that I wanted to talk to management because she was very rude, she came from behind the counter and followed me to the other counter where I went to talk to the other cashier she came up on me I put my hand up and told her to give me 50 feet, she ask me not to put my hand up in her face, and I told her that she was in my space. Jocelyn came and I told her what I needed she check my watch, and replace the battery. She gave me the poor J.C. Penney customer service that I deserved.

I'm sure that you guy's have this on camera footage. This woman does not need to be working in customer service. She argued, with me about where I got my watch from as if I stole it, you may not have it then but you had it at 1 time. Then on top of all that she lied to me said that Penney's didn't have a battery. I have never been treated like that before.

20

My complaint is that I was in line for the cards your store was giving out and the woman in front of me took my card and she started screaming it was my 100 off 100. I thought you were only allowed one card. At the end I received none because it was the last one. I don't know if the employee knew her but that was the worst experience ever.

On August 6, 2016 I dropped off my Seiko Solar watch for a "clasp repair, since it was having a repair I opted to have the watch cleaned too. I was called in a day or two and informed the cost would be $34.00 to be serviced. I agreed to the cost and servicing. Estimated completion date, as per my Repair Claim Ticket was 9/3/2016. To date, and 6 calls to JC Penney's, my watch is not completed, speaking to 3 associates who are not sure "what is going on with the repair order, I am totally frustrated and worried my watch is not safe, returnable or repaired. I did not receive any call backs from the associate's, I had to do the follow-up back to the associates.

Two days ago, , I spoke to an associate who informed me she would be calling the company they sent the watch out for repair, and she would "call me back within an hour, no later than late in the afternoon. I spoke with her at 10:00 am. Well, here we go again. This is the 3rd day and no reply from associate. When I spoke to the associate 3 days ago, I stated to her, "this situation is unacceptable, and I want a new watch to replace the watch the store associate sent out for repair on 8/6/16.

No if's or but's. I have been patient, more than understanding since I had to call associates back after I was told they would call me. It is now Oct. 19, 2016 going into Nov. 2016. Service has been very poor, associates responses very poor, and the time frame of 8/6/16 to promised 9/2016 is way, way past over. And no one knows the status or whereabouts of my watch. This is very poor business for a very loyal and courteous customer with JC Penney.

Info on store is: JCPenny, Store # 2768, phone number: 609 889 7700 option #3 for Jewelry. My Repair Claim Ticket states: " In the event of damage or loss, the JCPenny Company will repair or replace the item at your option." Since I do not know if it is damaged, loss or "my watch" being returned, my option is to have my watch replaced with a new watch of same. I don't want "whatever they are going to give me at this point; too much time has been lost to know if it is my watch, someone else, or a used old watch lying around and be passed off to me!

I don't feel this is an unreasonable request due to the circumstances. I would like to pick up a new watch within 2 days at this store location. They do have them in the glass case. At this point, this is the only resolution I will accept. The service was a horrible experience, and I am very upset of the circumstances. Kindly inform the store, department, and associate of my request, and the ok to perform the transaction from J.C. Penney.

20

I'm extremely upset with this JC Penney's company support, just had to call over ten times due to the call not transferring. Then they tell me I missed a credit card payment, when in fact I payed my payment. They raised my mind payment & I was unaware of the change. They charged me with a late fee. I'm taking my services else where asap. No wonder nobody pays attention to their products anymore.

We received the wrong size of vertical blinds. It was ordered with the wrong size. I didn't notice it. Whether my husband wrote down the wrong size of whether numbers got transposed, I do not know. I called when we received this and was told as per the information stated in the box it was returnable, either by UPS or at the store. So, with the help of my 29 year old son and a borrowed SUV, we brought the vertical blinds back into the store. The lady who was called to the desk, Theresa was very rude.

She said the item was not returnable, they were all on a conference call..she didn't know how long it would last and I could wait if I wanted. After 40 minutes, we left. She said someone would call me. No one called. I asked her if I could buy the horizontal piece ( the one with the incorrect size) alone. She quote a price more than $100 more than my total purchase. This was after she originally said no, it couldn't be done. My son said this was the worst customer service that he ever experienced such poor customer service. We left.

I then went on line to write a complaint to JC Penny complain department but was told my order number was incorrect so it would not send the email. The order number was exactly what was printed on the order and listed as order number. I am upset upset.

I made a purchase today at JCP store at your store in Brandon, Fl. I went to pay for purchase and I was shocked to see one of your clerks dressed in total black clothing from head to toe. I got out of line and went to another register to pay. I could not believe that Penny's would hire someone dressed like that . I think there are plenty of Americans that would love to have that job. I'm sure that I am not the only customer that noticed it. If they live here they should dress as we do, this is a slap in our face.

Made a payment of $ 200.00 at the Hagerstown JC Penney on May 12, 2016. Got my statement today, May 31, 2016 and forum that the $200.00 payment had not been applied to my account and they charged me a late fee. Called customer service and gave them this info and the payment receipt info. Also told them the check cleared my account on May 17, 2016. Advised me that they see the payment but they could not apply? Gave me to another customer service person and things got worse.

They implied that we needed to send several documents to a given address before the payment could be applied even though JC Penney cashed our check. Total frustration trying to understand the customer service person communication so I abruptly hung up. Will take my frustration to the Hagerstown store where the payment was entered. Have been a customer for a long time ,but this incident has caused me to rethink my relationship with JC Penny.

I called jcpenny corporate customer relations. A female by the name of Tiffany answered. I gave Tiffany the information that i was calling about and she continued to ask me the same questions over and over as if she didn’t know how to help or maybe she didn’t want to help. I asked to speak with someone higher and she told me that their was no one higher and that i was speaking to corporate. I asked Tiffany if she was the only one working in that area at that time and she danced around the question and told me once again that this was jcpenny corporate office that i was speaking with. I told Tiffany that i was going to hang up and try back to get someone else.

I called back Tiffany answered once again i then asked her if she was the only one working and she said once again this is corporate. I started talking to her letting her know that i needed someone higher up because she kept making me repeat my self. Tiffany push the music button on me, i told her that was rude and that i was going to ask someone higher to pull the call…strangely a supervisor named Shirley became available. Shirley took care of my needs; however, i am still reporting Tiffany. Beware of Tiffany at jcpenny corporate customer relations. This call between Tiffany and i took place at 4:43 pm on this day of January 30, 2016. I called back again at 4:46 pm please pull the calls.

My husband ordered me a jewelry item and was told it would be in by Christmas. It wasn't. The customer service at Barton creek in the jewelry dept has been negative. They just said another customer is having to wait. No apologies no care. My husband had to go in person to check. It has been over. 2 weeks since it was supposed to be delivered. Never had a problem with J.C. Penney customer service in the past. This is our last purchase there.

While shopping at the JCP at Barton Creek Square Mall in Austin, TX, I was harassed by an employee in the Men's department. I'm not sure of the name of this employee, he was an average height with wild curly hair. Employees and their managers should not be allowed to harass customers. I want action taken against this employee. I know many people who shop here, I will spread the word and let them know to no longer shop here or they will run the risk of being harassed by your employees. This complaint should be forwarded to the J.C. Penney corporate offices for review by management!

At your Avenues Mall location, Jacksonville, FL, I was treated extremely rude by two associates: one reluctantly answered a question, the other totally contradicted the first and raised her voice at me. I had over $500 worth of merchandise, which I left at the second employees register. Train your employees with some customer curiosity. I'll never shop at Penny's again!

I ordered a monogramed/personalized hand towel on line. I ordered the name in all capital letters and the color of the monogram to be black. I picked my item up from the store and discovered it was not monogramed as I had ordered. The monogram color was white and the name was wrong as Pastor, not capitalized as I ordered. I was also charged for shipping and handling even though this was a ship to store order. JC Penny took it upon their self to send what they wanted and not what I ordered, I should be credited in full and compensated with the correct merchandise as ordered. The mistake made was at the fault of JC Penny.

On 1/23/15 I mailed a box of vacation clothes for my husband to Lehigh Acres FL $28.00 My husband arrived in FL on 1/28/15 calls me to let me know he did not receive the pkg.

I was instructed to have him bring the pkg to the PO and reject delivery The supervisor in FL told me this was the fastest way of getting the pkg back I asked if she could handle the transaction in FL and she said No she was on her way to a doctors appt but she would talk to the post master (Jackie) and let her know what was going on.

The "Spencer" queen size bed was delivered by a company called Excel in Ral. NC. Bed was ordered in store at JC Penny in Ral. NC. The bed was put together by the delivery company, midway thru the assembly they told me that the 8 screws that came in the package were too short & wouldn't work. They were shorter than the depth of the wood slats that were to be inserted into, which is the base of the bed.

They told me they're not responsible for rectify the error, & that I should take it up with the manufacture & they needed to go to their next delivery. I called the JCP 800# on my receipt & spoke with Angela, who said she'd send new bed out to me, & if I had any problems again (which I had had with the delivery company) to call & ask for her.

I called her less than 1 hr. later & was on hold for 12min. The person on the other line said she would give her my message & she'd call me back. Never heard from anyone! I'm stuck with an incomplete assembled bed, & very agitated & disgusted with this entire transaction!!

I have always purchased my Levi jeans from JCPenney. Until now that is! I have always considered JCP Levi jeans "seconds" because they are never sewn perfectly;especially down the leg seams. BUT I just bought six new pair and the two 505's are totally unwearable! The legs and crotch are sewn off enough that they can't even be pulled up to your waist. And because I have never had such a major issue with JCPLevis, I tore all the tags off and threw them out in Mondays trash. I have to drive a distance to shop the store and don't plan on returning for some time. I suppose I will have to eat the hundred bucks I paid for the two unwearable pairs. We use to enjoy their selection of clothing, now they cater to skinny jeans, see through materials, and kids clothes. Time to pay off the card and say so long...

I am very upset that after being an outstanding customer with JC Penney's that I have had so much trouble initiating an order on-line. I have copied the information. I would like to know why I am receiving "Internet Explorer blocked this website from displaying content with security certificate errors". Everything is the same ~~ nothing has changed as far as any personal information in order to place an order. My order that I tried to initiate is the following: SPORTS APPAREL 2499 Item# TS217-0136F -- Alabama Crimson Tide Youth Grey Tackle Twill Hooded Sweatshirt
Size: Medium (10-12)status:manufacturer shipped (ships in 1 week). Item shipped directly to you from the manufacturer.
Total:$25.00. Your assistance on this issue will be greatly appreciated. I have never had this much trouble ordering anything from JC Penney's in many years. Thank you. Carol Oakley

On November 8 I had an appointment with Jessica at the JC Penney Salon in University Mall located in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. My regular stylist was not in so I had the appointment with Jessica. I gave her great details about my fine hair and my cow lick in the back making sure she understood what I did and did not want her to do. She did exactly everything I said NOT to do. I was horrified with my short hair that looked so bad I would not be seen in public. I got my money refunded and demanded another stylist rewash and restyle my hair. I got a great girl who stated she would do what she could with what hair I had left. I called the next day and complained to the Manager, Judy Johnson. She said she would "talk" with Jessica and offered me free cuts until my gets back to where it was before the cut. It has been one week today and I have a bald spot showing in the back where my cowlick is which is what I explained to Jessica that I could not have short layers there cause my hair needs to be long enough to cover the cow lick. I am hurt, upset and devastated over my hair. Jessica needs to have more training in hair styling, listening to the client and should be fired over what she did to my hair. Refunding my money and offering free cuts does nothing to compensate me for the damage done to my hair. I want someone at the corporate level to know what happened and do something about it.

In late-spetember of 2012 I called the Manteca, CA Jcpenney store to learn about a job application that I had turned in online at your main Careers page on the Jcpenney.com, the previous week. it was only 7 or 8 day's later when i called to inquire about the job, since it was still on the website career page. When I asked the human resource manager about my application and the position that I applied for, my reception was met with a cold shoulder and hostilite. The HR manager was extremely rude to me and lied to me saying "I'm sorry but we currently arent hiring full time positions". As she said the previous sentence to me, I was still looking at the open Career page for that store and it was STILL showing the the full-time store associate opening position. I'm very discouraged and angered that your store HR manager for your Jcpenney store in Mantec, CA would lie about an open job position to a prospective job seeker. I've been shopping at that Jcpenney's store for 3 years now, and I will never go back. If anyone ever asks me about working there I tell them to keep moving and dont waste your time.

I am a big and tall person. 300 lbs and 6' 3". My pants for the last 25 years have been 42-36. The longest you have in your big and tall section is 32 inseam. 32" inseam is NOT tall. You should rename the big and tall section big and short. I have shopped JC Penny's over the years and this last year it has gone down hill big time. Your CEO may have known the customers at Apple, but he knows nothing of the customers in a clothing store.

Several years ago I was detained at Dillards Department Store at the Imperial Mall in El Centro, CA. Evidently, store security thought they had seen me steal something and they detained my wife and I while they rummaged through the belongings we had bought at PacSun and Macy's. Ultimately, after being paraded through the store and treated like common criminals, we were cleared and released without so much as an apology.

So what does this have to do with J. C. Penney's? Evidently, this particular mall uses a camera system with facial recognition capabilities, and shares this information with other retailers in the mall. As it happens, we were not regular customers at Dillard's and didn't normally frequent their establishment. After our experience, we certainly won't become regular customers if at all. As it happens, we were regular customers of J. C. Penney's. This is where we spend most of our time and money while at the mall. However, that too will come to an end, as we have been regularly harassed and followed through the store by your Loss Prevention Staff. Since our encounter with Dillard's, we have been followed no less than ten times by people pretending to be customers.

To avoid being overly suspicious, my wife and I set out to "make" the Loss Prevention Staff and confront them, as it was becoming extremely uncomfortable and disconcerting to even enter the store. Each week, we would see the same individual monitoring our every movement throughout the store. When he realized he had been made, he enlisted the assistance of a female Loss Prevention staff member. She was even more obvious in her attempt to catch us "stealing" from your store. After she and he had followed us around the store for well over 1/2 hour, it was apparent they were planning to stop us as soon as we crossed the plane of the store into the mall. In an effort to make them "jump", I dashed toward the door as though I was going to run into the mall. Both the male and female agents dropped everything they had in their hands and lunged toward me as I made my phony escape. Prior to departing the store, I stopped, turned around and looked them both in the face. I went back to the counter in the store and opened my bags while your employees stared at me. I told them "If you want to inspect my bags, come over and take a look." I had my wife produce a receipt along with everything in our bag.

Instead of simply being caught trying to catch us. The female got rude and said, "No one said anything to you. I don't want to see what's in your bag." At the same time, the male staff member went off to hide behind a rack of women's clothes as though he had nothing to do with it. These same individuals do this to us on a weekly basis and it's really insulting.

If we are believed to be thieves by your Loss Prevention Team, then the appropriate thing to do would be to stop us and confront us with whatever behavior it is that makes them feel they need to follow us through the store every week. Or, they could even call the police and have us detained and investigated on-site. The real problem here is that we are supected of being thieves, not because your Loss Prevention Staff are competent, but rather they are relying on the innacurate software program wherein my wife and I were suspected by Dillard's of being thieves.

In closing, I would like to inform you and your Loss Prevention Staff, my wife and I are not, nor have ever been thieves. I am a former Marine and have been a Peace Officer for 23-years. I don't steal! As a Peace Officer, I can appreciate the need for Loss Prevention; however, at some point due diligence becomes outright harassment and needs to stop. We are now at that point. If your Loss Prevention Staff continue this pattern of harassment, I will wait until one of your over-zealous staff members attempts to stop my wife or me, and I will embarrass your company both legally and publicly.

Sincerely,
Dennis Webb

I placed an online order for 4 pcs--2 skirts/2coats. The store could only locate the skirts and I was advised to simply reorder with customer service. I told the clerks, customer service reps and the store manager that this was unacceptable. The customer service rep blamed the store as the items were accepted by the store and should have been there. The manager simply apologized, stating she had no idea where the coats could be. This would never happen in Macys or Saks. JC Penny did nothing to accommodate me as their long time customer. I am totally disappointed in disregard for customer service.

To whom it may concern, I was shopping earlier today at your Polaris jcpenney. I always shop there and have always enjoyed all of my purchases. I buy all of my sons clothes there my clothes and my husbands along with my home decor. I have never complained about me service at any store until now. When I went to ring out with me 60 dollar purchase the lady working the register was very rude. I showed her my coupon on the phone and my code wouldn't pull up so a nice customer came up and said she had the same coupon and let me use it. The lady gave us both a look like she was annoyed then took it. When she realized that it didn't have a code she shove the coupon back at the lady and said with a rude tone this isn't a coupon. Then when the lady realized she gave her the wrong one she gave her the right one and the cashier yanked it from her. Then after she scanned it she told me my total. When I went to pay I swiped my husbands credit card and she said with a rude tone you obviously rnt Dustin. I'm not complaining about the fact that she checked that info bc I know that's a law to check for fraud so I thank her on that but the way she talked to me was so rude I was ready to leave. Then when I pulled out my card she said well the lady left so u need to find Ur coupon so I tried finding it again ad she grabbed someone else's beside me and scanned it an just seemed very flustered. I understand it can be difficult when customers rnt ready for checkup but she was so rude that I wanted to just say forget it and leave. I am very upset with my visit and think she should be talked to bc if she is giving this to other customers a lot of them will file complaints. This will make me think about shopping there again.

It is now difficult to find a dress coat that fits me perfectly. The two men you used to have there to help the customers have been removed to other departments, or perhaps they don't work for you anymore.

It was very usefull to have these two men before when problem of matching suits and other dress utensils arose. When a collar of ashirt was too small or too long, when the color combination came for questioning; they were there to give out proper advise. Where are they now?

I ordered jeans about a month ago order. # 2012-3445-8012-5510 and called about them. I was told they should be at the store. Called the store and was told there was a problem with the order and weren't there. This is a month and no one knows where they are. I can understand the store as it should be closed how you can take away 4 registers away on one floor during Christmas is unreal to me, but now your online ordering too?

I am very dissapointed that I got up early this Black Friday morning, was nearly first in line 45 minutes before the doors opened at 6am. I had one item that I wanted to get, so the doors opened, and I rushed to find the Cooks Waffle maker for $8. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw stacks of griddles, slow cookers and toasters. Not one waffle maker in sight. I asked around and no one else could find them. I looked through the store and no one else had a waffle maker either.

I was then told at the checkout that I could purchase the item online, so I left the store dissapointed but hopeful. Only to be cruched again when I searched online and found that the clerks at the store had lied to me. I thought the term bait and switch was outlawed years ago, but I see it is alive and working great for JC Penny. I will tell all my friends about the lies and deciet at this untrustworty store. Very dissapointed in Orlando.

On 12/20/12 at about 4 p.m. my husband and I went to the Greenwood, Indiana JC Penney store (0355)to purchase new watches for Christmas. While trying on new Seiko solar battery watches, I took off my 10-year old Citizens watch and put it on the counter. The sales clerk picked up my old watch and put it in the glass case. After trying on the new watches, I asked for my old watch, and he told me that it was the store's watch. I made him check, and he agreed it was my used Citizens watch in the Seiko case, so he gave it back to me.

The next part is the really strange part of this complaint. A man suddenly appeared and stayed with my husband and I while we continued to shop for watches. We found two new Seiko watches and paid for them with a credit card and got a receipt. We asked the clerk to have them sized to fit us. He disappear with the new watches for 30 minutes while two sales ladies stood by us -- one of them rudely asking if we had paid for the watches.

Finally a clerk brought us my husband's new watch, which hadn't been sized correctly, while we again waited for the other watch. We finally got tired of waiting, returned the watch, and asked for a refund, so we could go another store in the mall and purchase new watches.

After purchasing new watches at the Helzberg jewelry store, we decided to leave the mall through the JC Penney store because we had parked behind the store, and the weather was dreadful. When we entered the JC Penney store to exit the mall, the same man who had followed us around came up to us and followed us to the back exit of the store before turning around and returning to the store.

My husband and I have shopped at JC Penney for over 40 years, and we have never been followed around the store like criminals or had to deal with incompetent and rude salespeople. This will be our last trip to JC Penney stores, and we plan to tell everyone we know about this bad experience.

I was shopping at the Avaiaton JCPenny in Glens Falls NY. I am a case manager and had ripped my pants and needed to purchase a new pair. I was standing in line at the counter and the nasty ill tempered casher Gabby, rudely informed me that I needed to stand in the correct place and nodded her head where the line formed to the right.

There was the one person she was waiting on and no one else in the deparment. If I didn't need new pants to continue my work I would have left. I have shopped in JCPennys for all my life. My curtains, bedding and clothing is 90% purchased from JCPenny. I will never shop in the JCPenny at the store again.

While shopping at JC Penny, the cashier asked me if I would like to apply for a Penny's credit card and I would receive a 20 per cent discount on the purchased items. I applied and was rejected. Since I told the cashier that there must be a mistake since my credit was excellent she said that the company would send me a letter explaining. I then received a letter saying that the credit was refused because I was listed as "deceased" by the TransUnion Credit Reporting Co.

I contacted TransUnion and they went into a denial mode. JC Penny should look into this and look for a different Credit Reporting Company to use.

Have feedback for J.C. Penney?

Thanks for your feedback!

Sorry. Please try again later!
