Let me start by saying I do love this store.
It's chic, it's clean, it's organized, it's top notch.
Those are facts. They sell top quality, best names, and some very sleek high end pieces.
Major key: you're very likely to cross paths with someone famous while in this store so keep your eyes open...(this may be one of the 2 reasons why I enter this store)
Pro tip: they opened up a Kith inside, (the second reason i go into this store) so make your way babes, because basic Instagram posts of cereal ice cream is on its way to a phone near you. Oh, & Totally worth it by the way......and yes, i did instagram it. (Follow me y'all @sanjwithablog ) HA did I actually just do that?
Anyway on to the worst part about the store, the staff. Snooty, annoying, rude, sarcastic, narcissistic and basically all around disgusting, for lack of a better term. They actually make me want to gag. I'm gagging right now actually.
Not ONE person in there is friendly or approachable. It's like they all mutually met up and said FUCK customer service!!! I wonder what the interview to work there is like? Who's the hell is the manager?! Do they only hire fucktards?
I can afford what's in the store, and I live right down the block..but that's besides the point!!!!!!
They treat every customers as if they are little peasants looking at THEIR custom collections. You do not own this, i get you feel cool because you have to wear it for work to help sell it but you are not famous, you are not elite, you are not better than your customers.
First of all they carry Chanel, YSL, Louie Vuitton etc...but act like it's their own, as if they were the designer, it's actually quite confusing. I wonder who they think they are..
I went to look at a Chanel bag that my mother owned in a different color and a woman literally said "sorry you can't be that close without an assistant, do you need help looking at it?"
....hmmmm let me think...that's a great question...do I need YOUR eyes to help me look at this bag? ....
No. No, i don't.
Another time when I went I was looking through a rack of clothes and two sales girls were making fake conversation and following me to every clothing rack I went to as if I was going to shop lift, I couldn't even believe it. And then AFTER seeing a man who had recently purchased something behind a counter looking at shoes, I went over to look at the shoes and was yelled at that i wasn't allowed behind that counter, and I needed to ask for assistance or to be with an associate to be at this section.
No one greets you at the door, welcomes you or anything!
And every employee working there thinks they're Kanye West. News flash...you're not, and you're still getting paid minimum wage. So take THAT!
In conclusion, I'll probably go back to order from the straight faced, bored looking, no emotion monotoned buff kid at the counter of kith for another ice cream because why the hell not. read more
