Unethical business. Felt racially profiled. The saleswoman clearly did not want me in her store. I am polite, dressed, speak French and was looking to purchase Mephisto sandals. After approximately 20 minutes and trying on at most 2 pairs, I purchased one pair. The saleswoman was cold, snappish, abrasive. She snatched the box back from me for the pair that I did not want. She did not issue an itemized "store receipt." I learned later, to my dismay, that this was deliberate as this is the only way to legally make a return or exchange in France. I returned later in the day to make an exchange with my credit card receipt. She refused the exchange, told me I was crazy and turned away. I am considering writing to Mephisto. I found the same condescending and rude attitude at the Mephisto store 1/2 mile away the day before. Maybe they feel free to treat all foreigners this way? It is awful. read more
