I know that no one wants to read a bad review about this place because it's conveniently located, open long hours, and can return things to you quickly. Because of all these things, I've been going on and off for years. On, for the reasons above - in short, convenience; off, because they were always breaking buttons on my husband's shirts, not getting stains out, never taking responsibility for anything, and quite pricey. But this last time was really the last time. I had brought in a pair of designer pants to be altered. When I tried them on afterwards at home, they were very uneven, one leg longer than the other. I brought them back, and put them on in front of alteration people to show them. Both of them - one man, one woman - looked down at the pants and both said "I don't know who did that. It wasn't me." While I'm thinking that that's an odd thing to say because it really didn't matter who did it, the owner come over, and started to measure the pants. I'm guessing he heard them both denying that they had done the work and didn't like the sound of it. As I was walking back towards the changing room I heard him lightly say something like "I have to do your work for you, huh?", and the alteration staff laughed. I picked up the pants again, tried them on at home, and, yep, the legs were still VERY uneven. Back I went for the 3rd time with the same pants that had already been paid for, and like I said previously, not cheap. This time only the lady alteration person is there. First thing out of her mouth when I say that they are still not even is "I don't know who did that...." I say to her that it really doesn't matter who did it, I would just like to have the pants done once and for all correctly. And this is when the situation really went downhill. She looks at me and says that she doesn't see any difference in the two legs. I tell her the difference is obvious by how much of my foot you can see in each shoe. She yanks down on the shorter pant leg, and laughs and says, "see, they're even." I was so shocked I didn't know what to say, so I lifted up my shirt to show her that now that side of the waist was now on my hip instead of on my waist, and she's still laughing. At this point I ask to see the owner. It was late in the evening, and the owner wasn't there, but manager Amy came, looked me over, and said that the legs are even. At that point I felt like either I'd gone crazy or they were truly gas-lighting me because they didn't want to fix their work. All this time I was the only person in the store, but all of a sudden a lady came in and walked up to the counter. Manager Amy points in my direction and says to this stranger, "Do you think the legs are even? She thinks they're not even." The lady comes over while I stand there feeling like a fool, and says that yes, clearly one leg is shorter the other. I look over at the seamstress who then says "fine, I will fix it." I took off the pants and she said she would measure the legs, still hoping to prove me wrong. When she measured, one leg was an inch shorter than the other. A whole inch! That's impossible not to see with the naked eye on a person wearing pants, and yet they both acted like I was a crazy person and imagining things, literally laughing at me to my face. When I came back to the counter to check out and get my receipt, we were alone so that so I wouldn't embarrass her in front of anyone, I asked Manager Amy why she would involve a random customer in my situation, and told her that I didn't think that was cool. She said "why is it not cool?" I told her because it was nobody else's business, that it was between myself and the staff of this business, and that she made me feel very uncomfortable, even though the customer had agreed with me. Her response was an angry, "YOU are not cool!" Given that I had been patient throughout all this, never raising my voice or getting heated, even in the face of their obvious lying to me, I asked how had I been "uncool" to her. She waved me away with her hand, saying "I finished my service" and turned her back on me. No apology for her error, for laughing at me, or for making me feel uncomfortable. Bottom line: these people are not good at their job - three attempts to properly shorten a pair of pants! - don't stand by their work, and don't know how to treat or appreciate people who give them their business.
No amount of convenience will ever make up for poor quality work and such rude staff. read more
