*Update: The store manager (who was not present when I originally came in) apologized and gave me a discount for the trouble I experienced.
If you're not sure how to shop for men's clothing, they will help you. The flip side is intense sales pressure, up selling, and surprise pricing.
I came in to get some suits for work, but as a slimmer man, had some difficulty finding a properly fitting suit.
While searching for a suit, I was told alterations were "not a big deal", and "$12-22", so I settled on two suits. After pinning them with all the modifications needed, a surprise: $95 worth of alterations to a low-medium quality suit. Then another surprise. They had a 2 for $700 deal going on -- which would be one for $350 -- but they would not honor the deal because one suit was on clearance. Effectively, I was punished for selecting a less expensive second suit. In the end, I only bought the clearance suit, which costed $250 due to alterations.
The outcome is an okay suit, but next time I think I'll save the headache and visit a store that sells suits that fit, and has salespeople who honor advertised deals.
