I am disappointed and also furious that I have to write this review. This location has been a solid middle of the road three star experience for a coule of months. Based on my total experience in the San Diego area (see my profile for details on the reviews I am writing), three stars is way above the average "treat me like I am a criminal who is going to pocket merchandise any second and make sure I feel dehumanized by the time I leave" customer service standard I can't seem to get use to.
The good: There is a morning loss prevention employee as well as late night loss prevention employee who greet me like a human, smile and say goodbye, and other than that they leave me alone. However, I have to subtract two stars because the bad outweighs the good.
There are some good finds if you take the time to look! Unfortunately, with the amount of mechandise they have (good) and the disorganization (not necessarily entirely their fault, but lots of piles on shelves and the floor), if you are looking for something specific or of a certain caliber, it's like thrift shopping at Goodwill - you have to go through everything to find the outstanding stuff. I like shopping and I don't know when the act of shopping became a reason to treat someone poorly. If a third of their boxers are on the floor and my husband is a small in some brands like Saxx, a medium in Nike, and can sometimes wear a large in Pair of Theives --I might have to crouch down and look through the pile to find the one Pair of Theives he would like. The problem is that spending time in a section means you'll have an employee dusting the shelf next to you (regardless that the items on the shelf are a mess!) and they will continue to stay with you (asking if you need help, and giving you a look as if you are their first born) until you pay or leave.
I have found Zoo York socks for $2.99 and even .98 because I took the time. I've also found Stance socks for .98 cents - pairs that run $14.99-19.99 at Target.
This location is disorganized with lots of merchandise scattered on the floor (electronics, men's boxers, men's health and grooming, men's wallets, makeup, and jewelry). My observations come from four visits - three of which I bought things from men's socks (Stance socks range from 98 cents to 5.99, Zoo York socks .98-9.99), makeup palates (got to dig for the good ones), lipstick and glosses, charging cords, wall-plug-ins, and a Betsy Johnson wallet.
On Monday the 8th I bought a handful of socks from them. I had about four employees/lost prevention following me the whole time. It was really stressful! They called the cops and after I paid the woman who was standing at the door letting people in and out stole my phone. I realized my phone was gone about 20 seconds later and turned around, knocking on the window. She cracked the door, but wouldn't let me in. Before I could even finish my sentence asking her if it was at the register or in the cart she replied "it's not". I nicely asked if she could check or let me check and mid-sentence she walked away and whispered to a guy who is also loss prevention and he came to the door and said "what do you want?". After I told him everything he said "make sure to call in the morning".
I did call. Their manager hung up on me five times. By the sixth time she said she would call me back in an hour after she watched the register videos from the night before.
She never called. No one has responded to y message that "find my phone" has it at Burlington!
I'm going in tonight to hopefully get my phone! Also, afterward at the trolley there was a girl who said they grabbed her bag and took her phone too! WTF Burlington! read more
