Stay away or else you'll be ripped off!
I just can't put it to words what an awful experience I've had at this Burlington Coat Factory location. First of all, there were no associates present on the sales floor, not a single one. The sizes of their apparel were seriously mixed up, I ended up looking at the XXL sizes finding M sizes.
Shoes..dirty and disorganized. I don't know if someone swapped their old shoes for new ones and walked out, I'd think so, however a few pair of those old shoes had the security tag lock still attached.. Interesting.
Do two left shoes suit your taste? I found some amazing shoes which I was definitely going to buy, however they were both left shoes, I didn't even bother looking for an associate to help me with that, I doubt I'd even find one.
I went into the fitting rooms, and to my surprise they were quite clean, but obviously no associate was there to take back the merchandise from me or direct me to the right stall.. but whatever, that's cool.
The worst thing I believe is how ripped off I've been by their $9.99 promotional sale on socks. They were each marked at $2.99, sitting right there below the colossal display "5 pairs for $9.99!" Obviously I gave in and bought some.
So I went toward checkout area, oh boy, they herd you like sheep with those stanchions! Thankfully there weren't busy but if they were I bet this would have looked like O'hare on a busy day.
So I get to my checkout, put my items on the counter and Patrick, the cashier just stared at me with emptiness in his eyes, didn't say a word, which made me obviously uncomfortable. After a few moments of this stare down he slowly grabbed my items, placed them in an orderly fashion with the bar-codes up and finally with all his might and strength the man reached for his scan-gun and slowly started to scan my merchandise.
During this awkward silence I have already forgotten about the promotion, which was going to be applied automatically, like it is at any other normal stores... By now I was seriously wondering if I'd have to bag the stuff myself.
I grabbed the receipt and left, it isn't until I got home I realized I've been overcharged. I called the store and asked for a manager - manager answered... said to call back tomorrow and to ask for a manager. What? Okay.
Now I'm being tired of all this phone tag, so I call their corporate office, and to add to my misery, when I hear the voice of the person on the other side who sounds like I just interrupted their sleep.. I know I am finished. At least I did get a "sorry". read more
