| If you go to this discount chain with no specific needs, you “can really score a hit” among “an amazing variety of clothes and housewares”, with “some of the items looking like they should cost more” (perfect for “furnishing your overpriced studio”); however, it “depends on the location” as “stores vary tremendously” – though scores suggest the “nasty treatment from employees” and the “messy” digs (“worse than the kids’ room”) are universal. |

| “Once you go M.A.C. you don’t go back” maintain mavens of this makeup chain “mecca” that attracts actors, artists and drag queens alike with “a vast array” of products in a “rainbow of colors” that “last long and wear well” at “prices that will not break your budget”; however, service is “highly variable” as some of the staffers seem “too self-obsessed to actually serve customers”, while others apply “clown”-quality cosmetic jobs; N.B. the Columbus Avenue branch opened post-Survey. |
