Long story short this place has managed to make me feel like complete dirt tonight. As soon as I walked in and started looking at the holiday items the only person working there (as far as I saw) starts rearranging the exact jewelry I am looking at. I'm not talking putting a few items on the rack I'm talking taking 2-3 minutes to rearrange the jewelry I had my hands on before she reached right in front of me. Ok, maybe she's utterly clueless or new to retail...
I move on to the next rack and she starts following me around. Now I'm sure she is trying to keep an eye on me so I don't steal anything.
I try to brush it off and continue shopping for about an hour. I haven't been to an actual mall in forever and this is literally the first store I have walked into after walking through the mall looking for it. I need some hair accessories and I was hoping to find a mermaid sign I had seen last year (long shot I know). Since I am there I am hoping to get something for my two nieces for Christmas as well. Because I only have $30 to spend on this trip and because they are having a buy 3, get 3 free, I am taking my time trying to find the right combination of items for myself and the girls.
What is her response? When following me around doesn't work to get rid of me, she calls security. Security then follows me around, brushing past me so close that she literally touches me in some sort of gross attempt to intimidate me. She stares at me in the mirrors talking loudly about how she can't tell sometimes if people are taking things. Finally I am so angry and uncomfortable that I ditch most of my stuff and check out. I ended up purchasing two of the hair accessories, because I was literally afraid they would think I stole something if I didn't make a purchase. Now I am even more angry and will probably just give the items away because I don't want to be reminded of this every time I wear them.
So I go to check out and all she has to say is "Oh, is that all you're getting"?
Ya. That is all I am getting. And I will never be back. By the way, if you are so worried about crime...maybe you should have asked for ID when I used my credit card to make that purchase. I guess you are a little selective in your entry-level fastidiousness.
BOO. Crone-in-the-Princess-Bride-level: Boooo.
I hope one day someone makes that employee feel the way she made me feel tonight. Like utter trash. Why? Because I'm not dressed well enough? Because I'm not carrying a designer bag? At an outlet mall? An outlet mall. Really?
You should treat your fellow human beings better. You get what you give, its as simple as that.
