This store selection is subpar but because I frequent HomeGoods almost daily, you still can find good pieces. But again, it isn't often. This rating however is a combination of this store and a worker by the name I Crystal. Recently, I returned 4 pillows to the store as it did not go with the decor for one of our homes. I approached the counter spoke and explained that I have a rtn. She asked if I had a receipt and I responded yes. The pillows were oversized Ralph Lauren sO I had one in each bag. By the time I gave her the second pillow she asked again if I had the receipt and I gave it to her. Long story short she had no problems with the items as they were in the same purchased condition plus they were all white. Easy to spot issue. She asked me to insert my cc for refund and I asked for the ending of the card #. I go to proceed and before I can insert she tells me I need to see your card. Wtf... I explained to her as I handed my card to her, that she did not need to see my card as that is not HomeGoods policy or any credit card usage policy. She then says well some people try to...and I stopped her because as long as she had legit items and a receipt, that's all that her company requested. When I explained that I would be contacting Corp. she then tries to tell me that's how she was trained. She is a white woman and I am a woman of color. I had on a University of California tee and baseball cap and not dressed fancy as I had just came from classes at University of Texas Arlington. This is clear discrimination as she was more concern about getting the receipt mid part of scanning, as if questioning how I had so many $50 pillows...and then from there wanting to go as far as to check again by looking at my cc I was inserting. Did I mention my pillows were almost $200. Little did she know I had spent $500 in that one day at HomeGoods. As I do multiple trips or locations. Furthermore, she is a mature woman and not an uninformed minor and because of me visiting 4 main locations, I've seen her for at least 2 years but have never had any interaction with her. So she have a good understanding of the company she works for. Corporate has been informed and I will keep going to the WONDERFUL Mansfield store where a black woman spending money with her errand clothes on has never been a problem.
Spoke w/ Store Mgr. Glenn Donaldson and he was very professional and apologetic. He did inform me that the cashier was inappropriate. It made things a lot better. Thank you! read more
