The store was cleaner than the past couple of times we've been there, but it still isn't up to the standards Belk used to have. I'm glad to see the clothing racks are tidier, too. The ladies' room still left something to be desired. (For one example, the bathroom tissue needs to go in the dispensers instead of on top where it can be knocked in the floor to collect pathogens. Another example: fill all of the dispensers including paper towel and seat protector, please.)
I did not buy anything today, though, because one of the cashiers at the cashiers' stand in the ladies' wear department coughed over and over WITHOUT covering her mouth! I heard her shortly after I stepped into that department. I'd looked forward to getting a cute new sweater or dress, but I didn't need to get sick. So, I left empty handed. So sad.
The bright spot of the entire visit was interacting with a lovely sales associate named Ava. She was the kindest, most helpful, and most patient person I've met in-person in a long time. Belk would do well to promote Ava into a training position to teach other associates how to treat customers. She's amazing. All of the associates at this Belk really are nice. If that one hadn't been so sick, I would've enjoyed my visit; very nice people!

Good luck shopping here if you need help. Stopped by to buy 2 birthday gifts from the jewelry dept and can’t get assistance. Looking around while leaving I only noticed 1 employee at the register up front. Going to Jared, it may cost more but isn’t a waste of time
