| - This review is for the photo studio. Photo studio = 1 star.
Don't go there. Don't waste your time. If you do, you will be rewarded with mediocre product and false promises.
The studio really is meant for toddlers and baby pictures for families wanting to document every growth milestone of their infants. It is really not for anything else. The photographers are SO mediocre. Honestly, I could do better using the timer on a digital camera at home.
There is this annoying guy who works there who totally monopolizes the photo selection session. He has his own ridiculous tastes regarding what HE thinks looks good. Which is crap, in my opinion. He has an eye for trying to get you to pick the poses that make you look the most fat and unappealing. Then to top it off, he had the nerve to promise that I would get all the photos on the CD afterwards, at no extra charge.
So, weeks later, I go pick up my order. The 're-touched' picture still has shine all over. Thinking that I could find something on the CD at home and re-touch it myself with online software, I opened it up and found... just one lousy picture. Totally fake promises.
You know, if you are not going to follow through on your crappy promises, just don't even open your mouth and make them.
Every time I step into the Bay I get in a bad mood, so it is not worth it to me to go over there again, all the way up to the 5th floor, and complain. I don't want to wait in that room full of screaming kids waiting for their turn, and I don't want to deal with that annoying guy that works there. Also, I know there is no point to phone them, because they never answer their telephone.
I might as well review the rest of this place, adding in my 2 cents. The rest of the Bay = 2 stars.
They redid the 2nd floor clothing section. The 2nd floor is full of overpriced stuff you can get for a fraction of the price in the USA, and full of shoes that are so so but never available in my size (which is quite average, not teeny tiny, or big-foot). There is Top Shop there, which is really blah garbage, Zara and H&M are better even.
Then the bag section. They tried to make it more 'high class.' Some people think adding Coach in here is a step up. Coach is okay, but it is not really that amazing. Then of course they have the masses of Macy's style bags by Guess and Nine West that look mall-kiosk quality. There are some okay Zac Posen bags, but most of them are all finger-print full and scratched up. Make sure you ask the store people to find a new one in a drawer if you want anything in the bag section. Just go to the states to buy a bag, or online and have it shipped to someone in the states. You'll get nicer stuff for a nicer price.
Yes, the Bay has nice Bay items that are great for tourists and great Canadiana souvenirs like wooly mittens. Yes, you can buy pillows there if you need. Yes, there are the basic appliances for sale. Etc.
But for clothes, shoes, bags and photo service, don't expect miracles. Especially the photo service. Give independent photographers a chance, or do it yourself when getting your beauty shots for your model portfolio. ;)
