I have worked retail for many .....Many years. and yes, I have even worked for Chico's. However, I'm from the North where we have a different work environment. Saying that we have a sense of urgency to get things done and a different way of interacting with customers. One way isn't better than the other, just different. Now, with that said, I enjoy shopping in a store with great customer service... greeting without being overwhelmed with a pushy sales associate.... but I find the staff here is very focused on "the purchasing customers." I was looking for a particular item... no one even tried to locate the pants ... no one offered me a dressing room with an arm full of items I had to ask.
I love Chico's clothes and have a closet full of fabulous outfits that will last for years. The classic style or even the trending items will last forever. I just found that this store isn't what is considered Chico's standard of customer service. As a former manager, it makes me sad to see a brick and mortar miss the opportunity to be a fun plan to shop...I might as well shop online. read more
