This rating is not the store itself, but the frustrating customer experience i had yesterday dealing with a cashier named MAHOGANY at around 7-8pm on Saturday, feb 1st.
So i came up to register 9, with all smiles taKing all the stuff i found which took me 2 hours searching. I was counting my stuff (gifts btw) and putting them one-by-one on the counter as I wanted to stay within my $300 budget. Now, it came to a point that the stuff became a mountain in front of us, there was a box of mask that fell in her trash bin, so i gestured tHat something fell in the bin. She had a pokEr face, no reaction at all, so i said "EXCUSE ME! Do you mind putting my stuff in the plastic?" She gave me a 3 second stare & grabbed a plastic & put in my stuff. I said, "do you mind?" just to embarrass her because looks like she doesn't likE to be told what to do.
Then one of my stuff, small plastic wares in a net had opened up from the tie being gone. Said something to the cashier next to heR, who paged someone & put that net beside the monitor. Btw, they were chitchatting the whole timE, & i heard that her miSery is from working that sHift by force. anyway, that lady leaned over to her & said "all thIs trouble for $4.99?" I let it pass, I wasn't petty.
Still going over the stuff im putting on top of the table as i was watching the card-insert machine maintaining my budget, she was just so miserable, dragging my stuff into the plastic to the point that i was stabbed with a sharp end from a hard plastic box, trying to save my stuff from being thrown hard on the table.
I still gave her smiles in return for her dead stares. So when i was finally done, she took the net full of plastic wares, & put it in the bag. I said, "I thought you got me a new one?" She said "no, i included it already", I said "ohh I thought you paged a woman to request a closed net". She said "i put it already" at this point i just had it with her so i said "then I don't want it anymore. It doesn't matter if its 4.99, the fact that i am about to spend about $300, i get to decide if i want to gift this opened stuff, so, TAKE IT OUT". she did some stuff on her monitor (I wasn't paying attention so I don't know if she removed it), & when i finished paying, i said "HAVE A PLEASANT EVENING".
Listen Mahogany! I am not sure why you acted the way you did today, but please don't act like i was asking items for free. Please treat your paying customers with respect, we pay your checks with our hard earned money, by patronizing your store. Save your life from misery & work behind doors so you don't have to force yourself to treat customers (and their stuff) with respect.
Would i go back to Burlington from this experience? OH HELL YEAH. But hopefully this should serve a lesson for you! I will further escalate this matter because Burlington's receipts says "YOUR OPINIONS MATTER". read more
