I left the Gucci store about an hour ago and I am still fuming. I've never been so offended. Me, my boyfriend and our couple friend stepped into the store and was greeted by a friendly sales associate. We went browsing around and the guys went upstairs. As they were walking up the stairs another lady working there was walking down. She took one look at them and immediately turned around and ran up the stairs after them. Following them around and eyeing them until they left and then followed them downstairs . Then she went downstairs and followed our g/f around and asked her "Are you ready? I can show you the alternate exit".
Meanwhile I am browsing the front of the store, completely unaware of what else was going on. My boyfriend walked up and we were looking at a Gucci money clip and that same lady who has been following everyone else around immediately reached between my boyfriend and I trying to grab the money clip out of my hand saying "You would like that!?!!! Here! Give to me she can ring it up for you!" Shocked and appalled I was at a loss for words for I am shocked and confused as to what was going on? I put down the money clip and observed her following the other 3 people who came with me around. She was no more than 6 inches behind them breathing down their necks. Take a step forward when they did and a step back when they did. Not allowing one more inch of room between her and them. I was completely apalled and furious and at the moment I just wanted to get out of there! We left and I was still so angry and wanted to go back in and ask her what her problem was?! That who did she think she was to treat us like we were going to steal something?! She basically intentionally ran us out of the store as vulgarly and as quickly as she could! I spent the rest of the time walking around furious and unable to shop or enjoy my time b/c I was and am still angry.
When we got back to our place I called the store to ask for the Manager. A nice gentleman name Matt picked up the phone. Come to find out, SHAFI, the RUDE and PUSHY and HIGHLY OFFENSIVE sales lady IS the manager. It was unfathomable how she got the position for I doubt she knows anything about common courtesy, customer service, or even decent human behavior. Please excuse the description that might sound harsh but in 30 years I have never ever experienced some offensive service, or rather DIS-SERVICE in my life. Perhaps we weren't decked out in GUCCI, CHANEL, LOUIS VUITTON, or was draped in mink. Or perhaps we didn't run into the shop shining in diamonds and with a personal assistant next to us. Or maybe it was that I was carrying a $2000 Balenciaga bag that wasn't extravagant enough for her for her to assume we are going to steal something?!!!? We spent about 7 whole minutes in there and the last 5 minutes of it was with SHAFI breathing down our necks doing everything she could to kick us out without having to kick us out.
If you want the worst and fakest smile by the rudest sales person you will ever encounter in your life, please, by no means, step into this Gucci shop, I'm sure the SHAFI will be ready to make you angry for hours after stepping out of the shop.
If you really have to pick something up from the Gucci Store up in ASPEN, CO, PLEASE ASK FOR MATT. He is polite and helpful.
Otherwise I highly recommend you doing yourself a favor and order online.
A one star was given only due to the fact that I can't give this place no stars, otherwise you bet I would.
Headquarters will be hearing from us. read more
