Audra at the downtown Minneapolis Banana Republic was so helpful! I popped in one afternoon after meeting my boyfriend for lunch. I wasn't looking to buy anything, but my interest was piqued by the 40% off clearance sign in the window. I don't usually have very good luch at those types of sales, so I figured my wallet was safe. Wrong I was! Although, it could've been a lot more dangerous if it weren't for the ginormous sale!
While browsing the racks, Audra stopped by to greet me and ask to start a room. My arms felt like a coat rack, so I was happy for the offer. Once I was ready to try on my selections, Audra was within earshot for me to request different sizes, colors etc. She was so patient with me too, which I really appreciated. I always take forever in deciding on clothes, in an attempt to prevent that nasty syndrome known as "buyer's remorse". So, it was great not to have a pushy salesperson that made me feel rushed.
Once I made my final decision, Audra helped me purchase a couple other items from the MOA store that they didn't have in the Mpls store in my size, and she arranged for them to be sent to my home. They arrived just 2 days later, exactly as I ordered.
I know BN might not be the store for everyone, but on this particular day, it was certainly the store for me. I walked away with a half-dozen sweaters & cartigans for about $125! So, now I'm prepared for chilly months ahead, and I still have enough for a latte! read more
