I'm used to the typical Aritzia experience. At every location, the sales associates are pushy and will try to get you to add and add and add to your purchase (let's be real I'm only buying one thing at a time, if that).
Today at this location however, my experience was less than mediocre. Like I said, I'm used to pushy sales associates. But tonight I had at least 8 sales associates hounding me, asking if they could find anything for me and put the scarf I was carrying at the counter. I said no multiple times because I wasn't 100% set on buying it, but they kept asking and asking.
I was continuously followed around and wasn't left alone for more than 30 seconds. This is extremely unprofessional behaviour, and it does nothing but hurt the store. It got to the point where I was so uncomfortable that I paid for the scarf and left even though I wasn't finished looking around.
From now on, I'll be going out of my way to avoid this location.
