Bolton’s

Should have read the reviews before I ventured here — the only thing attractive about this location is THE CLOTHES … which you can find at any other location. So why go here? It entertains me the attitude the women dish out in different ways and even shopping with my mom I was tempted to say one day «TRY ME». Gladly will teach you a thing or two. Its ridiculous. They rush you out, breathing down your neck — as if they are not concerned about your shopping experience but the clocks steady movement to 8. I made a sizable purchase and began wandering through the aisles to cause the same idiot TWICE to tell me the store is closed… Ok so you don’t remember just telling me that? And you don’t remember my answer… AND exactly where should I take my money since the other cashier is already ringing up the purchases. Very frustrating and TOTALLY unnecessary. I tried out the Brooklyn, Brownsville location which is by my moms house and it was smaller but worth it, because I will be avoiding 42^nd St like the damn plague.

Very nice store. Brand names. Price is right. Lots of choices. Helpful staff.

I have passed by this location for years and finally decided to walk in since I was in search for some sweater dresses. Well I don’t know if I got lucky or what but they had about 8 different types. I grab all 8 of them and headed to the dressing room. I only ended up getting one but that wasn’t the stores fault but me just being picky.
I was in a bit of a rush so I didn’t really look around which now I’m a bit sorry since I saw this leather skirt on my way out that I wish I had tried on.
There prices are very affordable and they do carry some brand names. My only negative is that it took forever to pay, the cashiers were super slow.

once in a while you find a cute item here and there… but the staff is SO SLOW and they really don’t care about being helpful AT ALL

I do like some of the merchandise at this store, you have to sort through it though… BUT the employees and the lines at the register ruin it. I waited almost twenty minutes to pay for one shirt… I was in love with the shirt, which I why I waited. There is no reason why the cashiers are so unbelievably slow. and I did encounter the manager that another poster mentioned, and she was glaring at me too… very rude. And she decided to close out one register, just as I was next on line, even though the line was LONG. and she glared at me as she did it.LOL. Jealousy I guess.

There’s a pattern at this location. Cashiers clearly hate working here and pass their feelings onto the customers.
I encountered a homely, ridiculously large lipped manager at the register the other day who could not stop staring at me as she ran up my purchases. As I exited the store, one of the cashiers who the manager had just replaced at the register whispers to me that she hates pretty, young women. Shocked and thoroughly amused, I turn around to catch a glimpse of said manager leering at me with her hands on her hips.
I love Boltons and recently discovered the 86^th Street location which has a much better selection of dresses. Will continue to get my fix there since they love us pretty, young women there.
Sick.

Hit or Miss — the women at the cashier section sometimes have an attitude, are slow and some of the «regular» customers are like this as well.
If you can get past this, there are good selections of everything from colorized fashion to flip flops, costume jewelry, sleepwear, trendy handbags, etc. and ignore the mindless guard as well.

Plenty of selection in style and sizing. Good prices. Clothes are fashionable. Seems to be organized by color instead of size so you have to wade through a lot of clothing but totally worth it when you find something great.

In agreement with the first reviewer. Bolton’s will BOLT your success!
In a panic and last minute mad rush, pressed against time I needed to purchase an upright suitcase/​luggage. When inquiring if there were a luggage department with the security guard, the dude pointed to the register area as a source of information. Apparently, this dude has a major problem with the English language! A simple «yes» or «no» suffice to «do you sell luggage?» Frustration continued to loom with the stifling heat and disgruntled MTA subway system weekend construction chaos, I was in utter dismayal and completely agita. Ayia!
The cashiers responded to my question as none were sold here at Bolton’s. The two cashiers at the register suggested nearby Strawberry’s and K&G Fashion Superstore in this Grand Central vincity.

Hit or miss: women’s discounted clothes. Try your luck
