I love Blue Mercury but this location wasn't great for me. I'm guessing I was at a weird time or something. I went to return something for store credit and got some weird answer. I came in with the box it came in.... Maybe it's store policy to need the receipt but I got some answer she needed to call headquarters... IDK, I have no idea and that's not even the issue. UPDATE TO RETURNS: The Blue Mercury website's info on returning things is not accurate. The website says enjoy your samples and says some other stuff that's wrong. I went to the Burlingame location and the woman had to call to get it returned and then she asked me for the samples back... I would have given them back but the website said to enjoy them...
The real issue is that it was not near closing, there was no one in the store and I was legit shopping... Swatching lipsticks on my hand, the works. Anyhow the woman in charge of the two was taking care of relaying information. I get it, sure. After 10 minutes I get a little miffed. Hey, I get it, sure, easy breezy beautiful cover girl, I'm flexible.
I don't like the feeling of needing to compel someone to help spend money for what are, we can all be honest, overpriced luxury items. That's fine, but that comes with service, not even, just a little more attention then I get Walgreens would be nice.
I'm sad to be giving a score I'm sure isn't representative a normal day, but it was the day I went in. I had to go over and feel like a bother, asking an opinion I knew they could not care the least about.
Just because I didn't return or exchange my purchase doesn't automatically mean I don't possess the ability to purchase more items.
I get it, I do, but I was well dressed so what gives?
Out of spite I took a sample and went to the Burlingame Blue Mercury location where they are just and helpful in general. I've gone in holding a plastic Walgreens bag with my wallet in my ratty pocket and they were super nice and helpful so it's not a Blue Mercury issue at large.
