"I am so sorry that I have to do this , because I do love the store and it is sad that one bad apple ruined the bunch. \nI recently went in to the JC Penny store at christ town mall where I saw a lovely out side umbrella / canopy set on clearance. I was touching the item looking for an actual price as the tag only said clearance on it when all of a sudden I hear a stern voice say \" Don't touch that \" as if I was a child. When I turned around it was a sales associate. I looked at here and said \" that is rude don't you think \" ? she did not reply, shrugged her shoulders . Then I went off to tell her that it should be okay to touch it especially because I wanted to buy it . She said that someone was in line buying it and that she would appreciate it if we didn't touch it anymore. I had sensed that she was lying so I told her \" well I am going to wait right here beside the item because if the person buying it changes their mind I want to be next to purchase it\" then she replied \" well they're not in the store right now but they are going to return to purchase the item tomorrow \" this infuriated me because obviously this lady was lying to me . Why would you say someone is in line right now then say they are not, but going to return later? When I am a paying customer with money willing to buy it here right now. I tried talking to a manager, but of course they said not one was available because they were dealing with a code ADAM. I tried contacting corporate by leaving an email but 3 months later still no response."^^ . . "2016-03-07T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ . "4"^^ . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ . .
