I think Balenciaga NY because they're the only boutique in the States.

I would like to see Saturday Night Live parody their sales associates just like they did with "Jeffrey" in NY too.

She says "What can you pay NOW?" I was like holy moly I don't know. Then I put it on the table where I got it from and said I don't know that's an awful lot for a tank- And before I could say I would buy it she said, "Well if you can't afford it than you should just go because everything here is that price" I was so pissed I wrote a letter to their corporate

AMAZING!
Im actually going to Mission Viejo Shops tom! I will look for this biatch...!
Im so glad you wrote a letter, that is out of control

NO!

It's funny to look in this thread and then look in the All about Retail Sales Associates thread because some TFSers are the main people being rude to customers.

the problem is that some people take their anger on whoever they see first.
i.e. most sales person get some very rude costumers during the day and they then take their ange and stress of whoever would be the next customer. same thing applies to customers who get served (or, better, do not get served!) by rude and incompetent sale assistants, they will then take their anger on the next sale assistant they encounter.

I think consistancy in customer experience is something that is lacking in most stores though.

Rarh! New entry! SAKS! Their stupid ordering system won't accept my credit card, so I phone them and they say they are "processing it manually" and will contact me yesterday or this morning! Well, they never do, so I go into Live Chat and the guy says it will take 2-3 days to process the order. Now I have this mysterious email from them saying my order cannot be processed, no reason why. I checked back and now the item is suddenly sold out. I live in Canada and really have no other way to get this item, so now I am MAD!

oooommmggg, that happened to me last week!! they emailed me the day after i placed an order to say that they couldn't verify my card. i rang them straight away and i asked the guy if i could use another card. he then said that the item was sold out! i wasn't even given a chance to repurchase the item!
