I walked happily toward this adorable Pradaesque store for babies (near my work) to find a gift for…read morea friend. The happy feeling stopped when I crossed the threshold. I know this is a sort of place, as with Barney's or a Louis Vuitton, where ladies go to shop for quaint $2000 baby strollers and other such expensive, imported baby bric-a-brac. Upscale, in other words. You know, the kind of place where one of everything is placed strategically on a shelf, lit ever-so-delightfully. The store's wares scream "Buy Me! I'm So Worth The Price!" I love this kind of shopping. Now, being Raleigh, NC, one would presuppose that the nature of the staff would be one of relative warmth and friendliness. Oh, was I in for a shock. I used to work in a very upscale women's boutique in a very high-end retail environ of Memphis, so I know the ropes.... Lots of needy clients who require all the attention the staff can provide, and a lot of mental champagne to make the experience and the expense worthwhile. So I was a bit taken aback when I walked in and the young lady behind the counter did not greet me, or even acknowledge my presence. There were several other women in the store looking around, and I assume they waltzed in to the same chilly energy I did. Who knows. For the record, I was not dressed in a burlap sack. I'm a stylish kind of gal, and a nice gal to boot. At any rate, I made my way around this adorable little baby place looking for the right gift, and found myself with my nose in a cute little baby book. Missy behind the counter still said nothing, until.... The She-Beast (I assume the owner or manager) comes from the back of the store and announces to all: "Does anyone need anything?? Can we assist you?!" Then, before I can take my nose out of the book I am looking at as a potential gift, the She-Beast looks at me and says, rather bullishly, "You There! With the book! Do you need any help??" Without batting an eye, I say, in my little way: "No... me here - with the book - I'm just fine." After about five seconds of stoic silence, laughter erupts in the store at my response, even from chilly little Missy behind the counter. The She-Beast quickly removes herself to the rear of the store, not to be seen again. I bought the book, but I'll never return. I hope others who patronize this store are greeted and treated with far more pleasure than I experienced.

A lot of miss communication in between crew leaders and employees. I was seen as less due to my age. I consider myself very down to learn! But every learning chance I got they won't extend it and I would never move forward through training. They care more about there sales than there employees. The store manager was super mean to me and kept giving me less and less hours of work, when I finally came forward on why this was happening, she said she does this because she puts her "best" employees first to get more hours. VERY UNFAIR. unfair to those who are willing to try there best. I thought I was the problem until I now have my new retail job and can fully say that the work environment at vineyard vines is awful! not teen, growing, friendly at all! My intention was to stay with them. But I couldn't work for a money hungry company and the only one who seemed to care about me and my growth was a crew leader named "Josh" he was the best. Other than that beware! don't work here. Only if you want to be pushed around and degraded. I'm now at a different retail store with co workers and a store manager that respects me.

The denim fit perfectly and Joseph checked on us while in the fitting room periodically. I used my Gap Cash promotion paired with 30% off and saved $80 off today! Joseph deserves a promotion.

I walked right in & thanks to clearly organized sections (or "shops"), I was able to find them quickly. Also, thanks to correct sizing on the rack, I found my size fast. I went to the rather large fitting rooms (yay!) & thanks to the big mirror, I was able to check out exactly what the pants looked like up close & from far away. Being a previous employee & now just a shopper, I have never agreed with Gap's pricing. And some of their clothes hold up better (after wash & wear) than others. So, I do have an issue with paying $64 for a pair of pants. However, they are "premium pants." The associate at the register was friendly & of course, per usual, tried to get me to open up a GAP Card. But he didn't go into a long winded talk after I politely told him "no." Clean store, organized, large fitting rooms. A+!
