Dress Shopping

Today at Carson's we were Winterball Dress Shopping, it was my twin, friend, older sister, and I. Well a woman that worked there was pretty much harassing us. She was pretending to be nice but was a total witch! She kept coming into the changing room like every 2 minutes asking us if we were doing alright. My sister was standing outside of the rooms and would open one of the doors to take a peek at our clothes and when she would open the door I saw the lady watching us, which I think is NOT cool at all! Well, when my sister opened the door to see my dress, the lady saw my friend taking her dress off and it was touching the floor, this lady had the nerve to go into the dressing room and yell at my friend for letting the dress touch the floor because it was expensive and no one would buy the dress if it touched the floor! I really think she had no right to watch us, the woman is a cashier/floor attendant why she was in the dressing room when it was just us is beyond me, there were other people in the area looking for dresses, we had ourselves handled just fine and we didn't any help. We even told her we didn't need help, but she wouldn't leave us alone! In the dress area she was following us around too, I still am very angry about how she treated us! She acted like we were poor and were going to steal something. She also kept trying to take the dresses out of our hands, the ones we were going to buy! She's like let me hold this at the cashier, we hadn't made a final decision so we weren't going to give them up but she actually snatched the dress from my friend's hand and then my sister took it from hers and told her to leave us alone, we were fine. She stopped but she still wouldn't stop following us around. I don't think I'm going to shop there again, that lady was rude and I didn't like being treated that way!

What was wrong with her :eek: That's awful. I wouldn't go back there either.

That is horrible!!!! She sure does sound like a witch!! That would drive me insane! She would have gotten more than a yelling from me. :o

If the company has any information online, write them an E-mail, that is completely inappropriate and her higher-ups should know!

Even if the company doesn't have information online, write the store manager a letter. You are probably not the only teenagers she has treated poorly, and they can use the letter to either try to correct her attitude or take steps toward her dismissal or disciplinary action. They do not want an employee that drives away customers! Maybe they'll have her work in the stockroom, or somewhere away from people.

If you know her name, include that, otherwise just the date and time you were at the store, and give your receipt number so they can verify things.

www.planetfeedback.com I've gotten great results from that site. However, I've used it mostly for compliment letters.

Not smart, ticking off teenagers with their gazillion dollars of buying power!

Well, okay...here's MY take on this. I always give a person the benefit of the doubt. Maybe there was a very expensive dress stolen on this girl's shift and she's being extra cautious. Maybe it's her first day and she came off as being rude. If it were me and I wasn't AWARE of how I was being perceived, I'd want to know about it so I could correct the issue.

If none of the above applies (which is doesn't look like it does)...

What Mayor Karen said! Is this place a chain or is it privately owned? If it's privately owned, I'd find out when the owners will be in and speak with them. If possible, bring in everyone that was with you that day.

No one deserves to be treated that way.
