Even before I walked into the store, there were signs advertising its mobile and online pickup centers. Just before the entrance, there was a kiosk for shoppers to search for their online orders that were ready to be picked up. The women's department was nearest to the entrance. I was unimpressed.

Empty shelves and abandoned shopping carts were common throughout the store. In the middle of the clothing was a Jackson Hewitt Tax Service booth.
