I am overall unenthralled by this Carson's, but that is mostly because I haven't figured out what the big deal is with this chain. I find the stores confusing and not well organized (it took me twenty minutes to find a plain Oxford button-down shirt), and the employees don't seem very knowledgeable. On several occasions with gift cards, the employee told us that they couldn't tell how much money was left on the card. When comparing that response to other major chains (Famous Barr, Macy's) where you can swipe your gift card and find out its balance at any number of kiosks, I don't see any reason to frequent Carson's. We managed to find a way to spend our gift cards, but I don't see us shopping there with any regularity now.
