| - If you're coming from Madison, you've already invested about 40 minutes+ travel time.
I knew what I was looking for: I checked shirts, pants, belts, socks, shoes, and yoga pants. I needed to try on three items to confirm size and then I could settle on what I would buy. Quick shopping, So I thought.
No one greeted me when I came in around 11:30 am, although there were two staffers and maybe six customers. I overheard the staff mention how to tell if things were on sale to a couple shopping. No one told me. No one spoke to me as I was looking through the various areas. When I had my items in my arms and went back to the fitting rooms ( only two), there was staff at the counter and a customer trying on shoes next to the fitting room. The staff chatted with the shoe customer, but didn't ask if I wanted a room. I ended up checking myself, but both rooms were busy. So I stood and waited. Still no one spoke to me. (I was nicely dressed and just from the dentist so my pearlies were white). I tried on a couple of shoes and a salesperson came over and checked again with the other shoe customer, but ignored me. After waiting about 7 minutes for a changing room, I left all the stuff on a counter and left. They lost a $200 sale in those 20 minutes. Given the drive, if I want anything I'm sticking to the catalogue. I never felt so invisible. The sales women were my age too, I didn't expect that disrespect.
