Just no. Unless your idea of a fun shopping experience involves being judged by your sales associates.
See, I have what other's (and my husband) might call a slight handbag problem. I have a lot of them and I'm always looking for a new, fun brand. I had stumbled across a gorgeous blue Linea Pelle bag online that I just had to have for Christmas. Because I had no experience with that brand - I wanted to check it out in person to see what the color and leather were really like. None of the big mall stores carried it, so when I saw that it was carried at Kilgore Trout I felt really excited! And they carried Botkier! I'm sold!
The girl working the handbag section was really sweet with great customer service and I felt like I would maybe be coming back to purchase a bag for Christmas. That is, until we stepped into the men's wear section for my husband to look around and the sale's guy from that side literally said to us "You guys just trying to get out of the cold?" as he ate his lunch.
What!? No. We're not trying to "get out of the cold." We're trying to shop at your store d-bag. I'm sorry if we don't look like we want to buy $400 t-shirts, but ya know, there really were items that we were going to purchase!
I was really trying to Shop Local for some of our big ticket items, but I'm going to be ordering this one online. =(
