Gap

My Gap haikus:
I had to return…
The security magnet
–was still attached
Kind of pricey, no?
I predict your closure soon
Sloppy dressed workers
In the fitting room
Customers take off their pants
A pool of vomit

This Gap location used to be very community focused, creating a familial vibe to the Belmont Shore residents. Now, I sadly avoid this location (although local) and drive 15 – 20 miles away to a mall location for better service. There seems to be no pride for the brand amongst the associates (poorly dressed and poor attitudes) and the focus is on store policies and rules and less on customer service. It’s so sad that the once less corporate like store has now lost its neighborhood feel. I hope it changes!

Staffs are friendly and really helpful. Store is clean and well organized. The fitting rooms are always ready at the back. Discount offers happens so often here.

Didn’t accept our Unilocal check-​in discount. Boo!

GAP gift card I’ve had for 8 years.
Yes I’m foreal though.
I copped the wettest shirt that accentuates perfectly. Price tag said 17 bux, got to the register and was discounted to 12. Then she cashed me out with $ 7.00 left on my balance.
I win!

The store is kept really clean and the staff are friendly.

Love this place…
always good deals in store…

If I am going to go into an actua Gap store (instead of shopping online), this is my preferred spot — — so much nicer than the mall.
There is no kids’ section or maternity section in this store, but they have awesome sale /​clearance clothes in the back and great window displays year round.
The people that work here are typical Gap — helpful, friendly, and full of smiles!

Gap which was known for great service would be disappointed in this 2^nd street store. I have come to this store four different times and am never greeted or given help. I actually had someone look at me like they were going to help but would rather stock shelf’s. In the dressing room no help at all, all the employees are too busy gossiping to notice that customers are in the store. I will be taking my business somewhere else, somewhere customer service is just as important as how pretty the store looks.

I have been shopping at this Gap for about 10 years. They always have friendly customer service and are personable and helpful. 90% of my clothes are from Gap, comfy, fashionable, ready to wear, gotta love it!

i normally would give this gap at least 4 stars but after finding out that their employees do not know the company policy i may never go to this location again.
guess i am kinda glad the turnover for managers at these stores is pretty fast b/​c hopefully the one i dealt will will be gone soon… otherwise adiós gap belmont shore.

This evening we stopped in the Gap to look for a hat for my nephew for Christmas. We live in Long Beach and shop 2 nd street often one the ladies with us had use the ladies room so we ask a clerk he was very nice and helpful great attitude. My friend went to the ladies and the manager said to another lady that was with us that she obviously did not realize was with us if I had a dollar for every person that comes in here just to use the bathroom id be rich in a very sarcastic voice. My friend that she said it to rather make a big scene went to the clerk and asked for a customer service number so we could report it. I did not and will every buy anything in that store due to this incident. So Beware The Gap on 2^nd Street in Long Beach California is not Bathroom Friendly even to good paying customers

The Gap is actually a decently sized store along Second Street. I saw plenty of things that I wouldn’t have minded trying on but since it’s the start of the season, nothing was on sale.
I’m actually surprised since I’m not generally a Gap person but I suppose this whole new 1969 line has some actual style!
While standing in front of the clearance racks, I couldn’t help but notice how pretty the colors were and how full the racks were. Still, I had no real desire to dig around since everything looked to be basic t-​shirts and striped tank tops. Maybe the pants… wait, isn’t it still 85 degrees? Okay, maybe… hey wait, there aren’t any skirts!
Linn H was more successful than I was. She scored some cute bracelets from the clearance section but then the cashier was having problems. He accidentally deleted her transaction and they had to start over several times.
Overall– well stocked, clean and not a bad place to pick up some zippy new basics.

Uh…
its the gap.
a-​ok

The staff here is always so cool and helpful. It’s great that this location is actually able to locate and hire people that are not fake and genuinely pleasant to deal with.
Go here!

I found the greatest V-​neck T-​shirts at The Gap in a mall. I got them home and had to have more so I called the Belmont Shore Gap to see if they had any I could come down and buy.
A customer service rep named «Ally» looked up the number and said they had none. I called Ally back to find out what the description was so that I might find them at Gap online.
At the end of the call I asked Ally, «Are you sure there aren’t any on the sale rack?» Ally said, and I quote, «No».
Something inside said to go by the store myself– I was there within 20 – 30 minutes. Walked straight up to the very small sale rack and what do I see? The exact t-​shirt I asked for.
I told two different sales people my experience and not a single «sorry» was uttered. I used to think that The Gap in the Shore was a cut above the Lakewood Mall– its customer service is just as mediocre. I could not be more peeved :(

If Obama’s wife can go here, I don’t see why you can’t. Personally, I haven’t been here yet, as I’m still wearing the Gaps shirt I purchased when I was 12. How’s that for longevity?
Do they still have make-​out sessions in the changing rooms?

I don’t think The Gap will be getting any more of my hard earned cash anymore.
$ 29.50 for a t-​shirt? $ 49.50 for a pair of Gap jeans? … Hey, didn’t I just see that same boring shirt over at Old Navy for half price?(yes, I know they’re the same chain).
The store here is very small and not enough stock to make it worth while stopping in, The staff is pretty sparse too, but that’s usually a plus in my book, no one looking over your shoulder or outside the fitting room asking if you need a different size.
For a much better selection and friendlier prices, I’ll take my wallet across the street to the Buffalo Exchange.

I’ve been taking this medicine that makes me impossibly hungry. Like, I eat enough for two, but there’s not two. As a result, I tried on my size 26 AG jeans the other day, and had some… difficulty. What’s a poor expanding girl to do? Well, ASIDE from dieting?
Well, now that you’ve asked, go to the gap, of course! I love that I can buy cheap, attractive clothing that I won’t feel bad retiring in a month when I get back to the old me.
Also, the jeans there are amazing right now. They look like Sevens, but cost ¼ of the price. PERFECT!
Okay, now leave me alone, I’m eating!

A little preface to why I shop at this Gap… I hate shopping, and on top of that, I’m also terrible at it. One time I was left alone in a H&M in Europe, desperate for some clothes because I hadn’t packed properly for the weather, and managed to find the 5 ugly things in the store and tried to put them all together. You wouldn’t think you could go wrong in a H&M, and my friends I was with were like, wow, you weren’t lying, you really do suck at this, and in the 5 minutes before closing they managed to put together a couple of outfits for me and get me out the door before I did any further damage. For some reason, people seem to think that the ability to shop is something quite easy to pick up, and if only I would read some more fashion magazines I would figure it out. I love how when it comes to something like technology, people get a free pass at sucking at it. If I have a friend who has a business and needs a website, but they say they don’t know anything about computers, it would hardly be acceptable for me to hand them an HTML book and tell them how easy it is to learn. But that’s what people try to do with me and shopping. When I walk into a store, my eyes glaze over and all I see is a bunch of clothes; much like, I would imagine, when someone who knows nothing about wine walks into a wine shop, it’s just a bunch of wine, where to start?
So all that leads up to why I shop at the Gap, and this one in particular. It’s the one place that is pretty easy for an idiot me to go to alone and find something I can wear. This particular location is small, which is great for me because there are even fewer choices to confuse me. The sizes are pretty consistent, so unless I gain or lose a bunch of weight I’m pretty safe without having to try things on (don’t even get me started on trying things on! I love how some people can go a whole day trying on a bunch of clothes and consider it a great accomplishment if they can leave WITHOUT buying anything, they just have fun trying on clothes! I, on the other hand, cannot imagine a greater waste of time, and the amount of time it does take to find the 1% of clothes in the store that fit me is even more frustrating). And prices are somewhat reasonable, though I admit sometimes I have to close my eyes and not think about what I’m spending on clothes that I’d much rather be spending on something else (for some reason I’ve been able to accept over the years that a good dinner can cost over $ 20, and a good bottle of wine can cost over $ 20, but I just can’t get it through my head that a quality article of clothing can cost over $ 20 — needless to say I’ve never even set foot next door at BR). Also, I’ve always found the service here to be friendly, and the people will usually put outfits together for me if I ask them, since sometimes even at a no-​brainer place like this I am still clueless about what to get. My only real complaint is that while VT can always find great finds in the sale rack for men, the sale rack for women never has anything in my size.
So, yeah yeah, it’s the Gap, it’s all the same and it’s fairly generic. Do I care? Not really. If I end up wearing the same outfit as everyone else, I guess that’s too bad. For me it was a big accomplishment just to find the things on my own and put them together without needing an instruction manual.
