| - LADIES, PLEASE BEWARE: You will be asked to surrender your purse at the door! If you refuse, they will ask you to leave! A Door Nazi (1 of the 'sisters' ?) blocks your way from entering the store, explaining you must relinquish your purse, as it is their policy! When I questioned her, she said it was because they have had people knock over and/or steal merchandise.
This was my second and my Last visit to this shop. On my first visit, I was purchasing a sweater, upon check out, I was first advised that they did NOT accept credit cards! Then, they charged $1.00 extra per item for their 'administration fee' !! WHAT ??? Have you ever heard of such a thing? I didn't purchase the sweater, that didn't feel right to me.
Reluctantly, I did go back and gave them another chance today, This was when we were met at the door with the 'turn over your purse nonsense'
My friend who was with me had left several high end clothing items for consignment, One item was sold, but by the time the Sisters were done gouging her, she ended up with $4.00 in her hand from that sale; because the "Sisters" in their wisdom, tacked on a hefty "administration fee" A term they obviously have become quite fond of using.
There are ample number of upscale resale, consignment shops in the Valley, and we frequent them all. Never have we encountered people who make it so difficult to shop in their store. My experience has been very negative on both visits. I won't be back. There are too many other shops here who are happy to have my business and make me feel welcome.
Surrender my purse !! Gads, are you kidding me??
