"I wanted to treat myself to a new purse so I went into Holt's two times this week to check out their selection of Marc Jacobs bags. I can afford to buy the occasional item from Holts - what I can't afford is to waste my time in a store that seems to judge me on the way I look.\n\nAs I was riding up the escalator from the concourse level a group of employees were standing around talking. I think they were supposed to be handing out perfume samples but all they did was stare at me up and down. Did they smile? No. Did they ask if I needed anything? No. They simply stared me down then went back to their conversation.\n\nIn the purse section there was also large amount of employees - doing nothing. A couple of them stared at me and it seemed as if they were wondering whether they should actually waste their time approaching me. They didn't.\n\nI had to approach one lady to ask for help but she was not exactly forthcoming with information about the bag I was interested in. \n\nI found a great Marc Jacobs bag that was actually on sale which I bought. So yes I think Holt's has a great selection but does that mean I have to suffer through their terrible customer service? When I'm in Manhattan I do a lot of shopping in Saks - they have a better selection without the attitude. \n\nHolt's has a great selection of items and for certain lines, Holts is probably the only place in Canada where you can buy them. But their staff needs to lose the attitude."^^ . . "0"^^ . "2013-03-01T00:00:00"^^ . . "2"^^ . "2"^^ . "0"^^ . .
