I love my MAC counter in the Nordies at Cerritos mall. All the girls are nice and helpful. I've been to the Brea store and they are not so great there, except for one man named John.

I 2nd this. love this store!! I always love coming back.

I also love the counter in Louisville, KY (@ Macy's in Oxmoor). . .
Tracy was my favorite MA but she has since left. but the current ones are fantastic too, especially Amelia, Jessica, Deanna, Nikki, & Pam.

The counter in Montgomery (I think there's only one?) is fabulous (and they always have lots of LE/DC things! so score extra points for them!).

In Philly, the Nordie's counter at KOP was awesome. . .but the MAC store SUCKED really really bad. they were very horrible.

At every MAC I've been to, I've been very impressed or very unimpressed. they either have great service or they've been very rude. . .it's never in the middle. but overall, I've had overwhelmingly amazing service.

The SAs/MAs at the Macy's counter in downtown Brooklyn offer good customer service and are very friendly. While I've had some standout service at the 34th Street counter, there are many times that the SAs are not familiar with the products or just stand there with a Stepford Wives-type stare.

The freestanding store in downtown Brooklyn is a good place to go if you want personal service, a calm environment, and knowledgeable MAs.

My counter truly rocks!! My city *finally* got a mall after 34 years of waiting. I shop at the Simi Valley Town Center. I get awesome service every time I pop in, which is weekly. I am a MAC junkie, I admit it.

I want to give kudos to: Stacey, Monet, Tori, Lauren, Oppie ( I hope I spelled that right), Daniela, Leo, and Annie, the manager. I am sure I forgot some because I am sooo forgetful. Oops!

MAC at Macys in Simi Valley ROCKS!!! =)

I always go to the Pro one on Robson, in Vancouver! I loveeee it there, the MAs are always quite nice to me. My favorite MA is there... her name is Jenna! She's so helpful and non-pushy, and just genuinely a really friendly person! I can also go to the counter at the Bay in Pacific Centre, the counter at the Bay in Metrotown, and the free-standing store (I think that's what its called) at Metrotown. Actually, I've never really had a bad experience at MAC, but my favorite is still Robson.

In Sydney at the Pro store, Jo is really vibrant and into her product, which makes her a great staff member to snag.
I second this - there isn't a single bad MA there, they are all fantastic and gently poke fun at my obsession haha!

The counter at Nordstrom in The Westchester (Westchester, NY) is usually staffed with a really nice girl during the day but I'm not so keen on the others and it's usually very busy.

The Bloomingdale's counter across the street is the best, they have some really nice girls there and it's less busy most of the time.

I like the freestanding store at Perimeter Mall in Atlanta on weekdays. Most of the MAs are nice and helpful, but they can get pretty busy on weekends.

I also like the counter at Lenox Bloomingdale's.

The MAC counter at Marshall Field's in Skokie, IL (suburb of Chicago). Awesome service, doesn't get a ton of business because of the nearby MAC counter at Nordstrom, but this one is SO much better.

MAC counter at Macy*s in the Sherman Oaks Fashion Square, CA. (i think thats what its called..its off woodman and riverside in the mall with Bloomie's). I've always had good experiences here, particularly with a girl named Jenn, I think. Plus, occasionally they'll have some leftovers of LE and DC products.

Nordstrom MAC counter in the Santa Anita Mall in Arcadia, CA. once again, incredibly helpful MAs and they too occasionally have leftover items from past lines. only drawback is that this counter is always SUPER busy, unless you go at like, 9 am or 9 pm, when they open or close.

I love all the MAC stores and counters in Michigan, but especially the one in the Southland mall! The MA's are so nice and helpful! The guy MA always asks me if I'm going to buy the whole collection lol.

For Greater Toronto Area, I am starting to like the MAC counters at the Bay instead of the freestanding stores. So far my favourites are:

The Bay MAC Counter Square One
The Bay MAC Counter Bay and Bloor (Yorkville)
MAC Freestanding store Yorkville
MAC Pro Store Queen Street

I really dislike the MAC freestanding stores at Square One (except 1 MA and she's always busy) and the Yorkdale one. They're ridiculously snooty and always appear to be bored of 'you'.

Hmmm..I don't really like the Bay counter in Square One-with the exception of one girl the rest are kinda meh..I'll check out the other counters since I'm in the GTA as well.

Melody at Macy's in Town Center Mall in Kennesaw, GA is the best! She always has a smile and is uber-friendly. She even does mini-makeovers on my two girls (5 and 2) with a patience befiting a saint (even I get frustrated when DD2 wants every Tint Toon put on, one right after the other).

I have always loved the MACs at The Bay rather than the actual MAC stores. the one I frequent is the Scarborough Town Centre location (which has both The Bay and a MAC), but the service at the MAC just does not compare to service at The Bay.

I am in love with the people in the MAC Flatiron store!!! MAC SoHo is lovely too, but I get snubbed there sometimes, probably because it's always so busy and the MA's can't attend to everyone. The Flatiron store has a great environment, and everyone is so friendly and enthusiastic about the products. Plus, the PRO store is a few blocks away!

Love Jodie at the Berkeley store in CA, everyone really, they are so sweet. Almost everyone at the Pro Store in SF rocks, especially Mauro. The girls at the Macy's in Sunvalley are sweet too. But the store in the Sunvalley mall sucks! Bad. I know the line better than most MA's there, and they ALWAYS try and get me to buy more crap, using whatever technique they can, "its LE.,,.", or "you must get the brush to go with your MSF", or "do you need any shadows to go in your palette?". Ugh. Although one very sweet MA there let me go behind the counter and we went through all, and I mean all, the Petticoats until I found the perfect one I wanted.

The MAs at the MAC store in the mall in Stamford [CT] are wicked nice.
Toronto Pro store has awesome MAs, as does the NY Pro. I loved the MAs at the Flatiron store, and the MAC on Fifth Avenue had the nicest MAs I've ever met. The MAs at the store in Philly were amazingly nice -- the store was about to close, when my friend & I walked by it in a legit downpour, and they literally opened the doors and pulled us in, LMAO! What a coincidence, eh?

The MAs at the MAC store in the Burlington [MA] mall were hilarious and super nice.

Unfortunately, the MAs by me [Meriden Mall, Westfarms Mall] aren't anything exciting. I go to the MAC in Meriden all the time, and only three of the times have I had a nice MA.

I like the MAC counters at CK Tang's and Isetan Scott's in Singapore the most. There are way more MAs at the Tang's one, but, they tend to mill around unless you walk up to one. My toddler likes it because they are always playing dance music in there and the MAs get a kick out of her dance moves. At Isetan, there are usually only like 2 or 3 and they are more helpful. There is also a very creative male MA at the Isetan.

In the US, the best ones were the freestanding stores in Houston, TX. Last summer, the one at Rice Village struck up a friendly conversation with me. They were jealous because Singapore (Asia) got the Lustrevisions before the US did and they also wanted to get their hands on the Pro-preferred White pressed-powder foundations. The MAC counter at Foley's in the Woodlands Mall is the smallest I've seen so far. There is an older lady with short hair (didn't get her name) who has little personality. There is a younger "Goth" one with long hair and she was much nicer and more helpful.

my favs are MAC Somerset (freestanding in Troy, MI). Erica is the best there! I've also had good experiences at Nordies at Oakbrook, IL w/ Lillian. also found the girls at MAC store at Fairlane (Dearborn, MI) pretty helpful too!

Great MA's at the MAC freestanding store in San Antonio, TX and also the counter at Dillard's. Not so the MAC counter at the new Nordstroms. The ones that work there always seem to have something better to do.
