The guy is a total dick. WILDLY RUDE & insulting. So much so it was comical! Drove by this place multiple times, intrigued by their window displays, but they are closed on weekends, so I went out of my way to come in on a weekday and when I entered the store and told the guy that I was doing a huge remodel and what I was looking for he responded, "That's not where I'd put a light. That's stupid, why would you put a light there?"
I then explained that my ceilings were too low to do it any other place and that the design of my home doesn't accommodate a large light over the kitchen island. He then responds, "People are buying bigger and bigger houses, so these lights look great in those big houses."
(Okay, cool dude you don't get it)
So, I brushed off his rudeness and continued to look around. I found a trio of pendent lights on display as a unit. I measured it out (thank you, rude dude, for letting me at least use the measuring tape) and inquired as to the price with the other sales associate (a lovely woman who genuinely did want to help me) and she involved the guy again, because they couldn't find the light on the brands website.
The man explained that, that particular light was something that they had custom built. Going on (very curtly) to say, "But you don't want that light with 3 different pendants. That's Ugly in my opinion." who asked your opinion little dude?
SMH
Similar lighting displays are all the rage right now in modern home design... which is why I thought they had their own version ON DISPLAY.
Rather than get into a thing with this prickly little fella, I thanked them and walked out.
It's like he went out of his way to ruin a sale for thousands of dollars.
This is why more and more people just buy directly online and these brick and mortar stores go out of business. Because dicks like this dude shouldn't be forward facing with customers.
Anywho, they didn't have anything extraordinary or unique. So, I will continue my hunt online, or go back to De Light Ville down the street where someone actually gives a shit about the customer experience.
Only go in if you wanna leave feeling slimy, with higher blood pressure. read more
