This place, you may be thinking " High End" because the location. Sorry, this place Feature will not see me in the future or any of my High End friends. I'm not being braggadocio by saying high end friends, but if a name and bank account register one as high end, so be it. I went there Saturday, November 4, 2023 for the first time since I just moved into Calabasas from Silicon Valley, more precise Atherton. I browsed, average merchandise to say the least. That's fine. It's the lack of any kind of enthusiasm, customer acquisition is apparently not a culture. Maybe one can say arrogance definitely is. So, with miserable people skills by the staff, obviously the owner is vacant or brain dead, I'll give the benefit of the doubt that the owner has no idea about the malaise occurring, but, that is not a valid argument. The return policy on their " Jordan" shoe line is absurd. Really, taking back a measly $110 / shoe is going to break the bank ? I came back less than 24 hours later to return and then purchase another item to be considerate. I had the receipt, shoe box, bag, even the tissues they put in the box. I wore them for 30 minutes. Just on pavement. I got the laces done perfectly even. She then says " let me try to wipe the bottoms of the shoe and see if they " could be able" to be sold. 45 seconds later, she comes out of the " cleaning bunker" apparently and says "I'm sorry " but these just don't look brand spanking new. Hmm, maybe you could donate them to a shelter or something along a humanitarian cause? Or just toss em. It's the policy that is caveman like. It's like ordering a Prime bone in New York at Maestro's and it coming out well done when one ordered it charred rare. What would Maestro's do? Well you took one bite, we can fire you up another one but you will pay for both of them. You think Maestro's is going to have that policy? Absolutely not. Anyways. Be warned by me. I have been an owner of a high end steakhouse institution in Palo Alto for over 30 years. Ya think I might know a thing or two about common sense? Ir just the right thing to do? Well, yeah, I believe so. Shopping at Feature, is just adding to their lack luster existence. If that were my shoe/apparel establishment, I would be offering complimentary espresso, tea, a freshly baked cookie, how about a shoe horn automatically when trying on a shoe? Maybe some high end chocolates or mints placed neatly in a Feature little box in your bag? Or, how about just a smile on one of the employees faces from time to time. I guess if you are not Justin Beiber or a Kardashian, good luck getting even a smile. But a good looking, Rolex wearing as a casual Saturday watch kind of guy is you, good luck. Their tag line should be:
If you're not a Kardashian, and you will not promote the store on TV or wear some merchandise from time ti time even at your own house, better off going to Target. That would actually be a funny, insider kind of narcissistic joke that would be cool. Or a t shirt, $700 t shirt that just read in tiny letters:
Justin and Kim forever
