I'm not one to write a bad review, but i feel the need to because of how I was treated at Dillard's today. To paint the picture, I came to the mall in sweats, a crop top, and a flannel due to having a massage later and not wanting to wear my nicer clothes that I typically wear out. I cannot think of any other reason why I was treated the way I was. At first, I went to the perfume section and was immediately greeted by an employee. Great, I appreciate the service. However, I had JUST gotten there and wanted to browse the sections so I told her I didn't need any help at the moment. Now, I also work in high end retail and know that if someone nicely tells you they want to look around, you give them space. Well that didn't happen, I felt a presence behind me watching me every section I went to. Totally understandable, I get it, you have to be watchful in case someone tries to steal. Like I said, I work in high end retail (mind you I'm handling $50,000+ pieces at my job daily, not $100.) what I did not appreciate was that when I looked around, I was the only one being followed and watched like a hawk. I was planning on purchasing at least one new perfume today but because I felt the judgement and unnecessary pressure from the employees, I walked out. I went to some other stores and bought some things then came back because I have an event coming up and needed a nice dress and wanted to browse for some more work clothes. As I'm looking, one of the associates tells me to holler if I need anything which was nice. I tried a few items on in the dressing room but didn't like them so I put them back, trying to be a good person and not leave everything in the fitting room. As I'm leaving, I feel myself being watched.. again! I look up at two associates chatting and make eye contact with them. I'm trying to stay composed because I felt the judgement once again as if I'm not supposed to be there. Then I thought about the clothes I purchased earlier from another store and wanted to make sure my receipt was in the bag so I look in there to check as I'm leaving. I then hear "did she put something in her bag?" And again felt them staring at me. After that I just walked out. So here's a little tip to the Dillard's employees: never judge a book by its cover. The way you made me feel like I was not welcome there because of the way I was dressed cost you some sales today. I was prepared to spend a pretty penny today but was instead questioned and made to feel like I didn't belong. I'm never going back to Dillard's until they learn to treat everyone well, not just the people dressed nicer that you THINK you can make a buck off of. read more
