Black Friday Epic Fail...
I really like the store box lunch, it's like a higher-end Hot Topic. But today, Black Friday 2023, was not a good experience.
On Thanksgiving, I went to the box lunch website to see what time they opened for Black Friday, and to see what they had on sale, the hours shown on the store website stated that it opens at 6 am, We arrived at the mall around 6:20, and none of the doors were unlocked, except for one, My Wife and I, along with a few other people walked into the Mall. Nothing appeared to be open except for Bath & Body Works, We assumed that whoever was supposed to open BoxLunch was running late in opening, We walked into Bath & Body Works, and shopped their sale, we then went back to BoxLunch, and it still wasn't open. We decided that we would wait until 7:00 and if no one showed up we would just leave.
Just after we sat down after about 3 minutes, a security guard walked up to us and demanded we leave the mall immediately, we tried to explain why we were there and what we were doing, but he said his boss had seen us sitting down at a table and wants us to leave the mall. Why was it so important that we leave so promptly? Especially when there were stores open in the mall? When we asked about that, he just said, it was because they were having sales, it was Black Friday, and EVERYONE IN THE MALL IS HAVING SALES.
It was unnecessary and uncalled for, to force us to leave when we were just sitting, waiting to see if the store would open soon.
Just a very disappointing experience. read more
