Never would have guessed I would actually be in this place looking to buy something, but I read an article a couple of months ago about men's jeans and they recommended a pair sold at Holt Renfrew for a reasonable price. So when it came time for me to get some new jeans today I thought I would check things out...
First thing I realised when I walked in the store was that I had no idea where anything was. I was greeted with a sea of make-up counters and employees looking at me like I was an alien. I wanted to ask for directions but everyone looked like they didn't want me to speak to them.
Finally wandered around and found some men's clothes. I asked one of the male employees in that section if there were more jeans and he barely looked at me and mumbled "downstairs." Went down some steps and saw a large selection of nice jeans. Saw a couple I even wanted to try on but the THREE employees standing 4-5 feet away from me were busy talking about how scary the movie Paranormal Activity is. At one point an employee actually made eye contact with me, but then continued to ignore.
I could have asked for help but something came over me and I realised I didn't want to give Holt Renfrew any of my money. I muttered "fuck this" under my breath and left. Bought some jeans at The Gap and they were super nice and helpful. Never again, Holt Renfrew.
