Recently I went to Image Care to purchase a new pair of scrubs. They didn't have my size as their inventory was low & I rushed into buying scrubs I wasn't happy with. On the day of the purchase, the two owners (the husband & wife) were VERY friendly. Even too friendly such that the man allowed himself to come over at one point & put his arm around me & squeeze. I felt very violated & did not know what to do at that moment. I remembered how every time I even went to their old store, this man made me feel so uncomfortable by constantly coming near me & not letting me look by myself. When I purchased by first scrubs from them, the change rooms didn't have mirrors & I had to step outside, & this man would have something to comment on how the scrubs looked on me. This made me feel very uncomfortable.
Fast forward to 3 days ago when he allowed himself to put his arm around my shoulder. I was in shock & turned to his wife but she was too busy ringing up my purchase. I felt disgusted & violated but decided to ignore this.
Yesterday, I decided I wanted to speak to the person working about doing a return or exchange for the scrubs I had purchased. I thought that these people were EXTREMELY friendly on Tuesday, so they'd be kind enough to do a return or exchange. But I was wrong. The man was working that day & from the start, he began yelling at me & being rude to me. He kept insisting that sale items cannot be returned even when I explained that they weren't on sale & I had just used my student discount. He DID not want to do a return. I said you guy seemed to have good customer service on Tuesday & I didn't wear these since I haven't gone to work. But the moment I mentioned "customer service", this man lost it more & began yelling at me & saying he doesn't care about customer service. He got 10 times ruder. I said I had the same experience at Scrub Depot & they had amazing customer service & did the return for me. He furiously said they do things differently. After some time on the phone with his wife, he decided to order the scrubs I wanted from White Cross. This man who was seemingly very friendly on Tuesday, was yelling at me & telling me to be quiet while I was just trying to clarify the situation & explain which scrubs he should order. I decided to FaceTime my boyfriend so he sees the way I was being treated. I then became serious & told him to speak to me politely. When I showed him that my boyfriend was hearing all of this, he became a bit more polite & more careful with what he was saying.
He later gave me what he calls a "Credit Note" which is the same as store credit from my understanding. He said I have 90 days to use it. He took back my scrubs. I recorded some of the conversation near the end as I felt scared & was worried about my money getting lost with this "Credit Note". I have also filed a report with the police for his disgusting behaviour with getting too close to a female customer & putting his arm around me & squeezing me. This is not acceptable at all for a business owner.
I am traumatized by my experience with this business. It seems that they are overly friendly when you are trying to purchase but when you even just ASK about a return or exchange, they get severely heated. I am shocked & have been trying my best to deal with everything that happened. I just could not stop crying after the incident.
Before leaving, I asked how much these new scrubs are. He said "Grace" knows (his wife). I asked if he could ask. He said I ask too many questions & that it would be too many phone calls. He ended up calling & told me it would $39.99 & $33.99 plus a couple more dollars. I asked him what he means by "a couple more dollars" & he didn't explain & insisted it was going to be more. I said Scrub Depot had them for that price prior their sale prices! These are also the prices for typical White Cross scrubs at every store! But this man did not explain. I'm going to contact White Cross & confirm this with them as I have a feeling they are going to charge more as it is evident these people are nothing but hungry for money.
This is for anyone that is fooled by the number of Google reviews on this place. Please, I beg you to reconsider. This man violated my personal space when his wife was not looking. When I went back to ask KINDLY what this seemingly very kind & friendly man with seemingly good customer service could do, he became angry quickly, yelled at me with impolite remarks such as "be quiet". In addition, he seemed to get even more angry when I mentioned the good customer service I received from Scrub Depot & said that he doesn't care about this.
Don't make the same mistake as me. This man said he doesn't care about customer service & so I assume he won't care about this review. But to prevent other customers (especially female customers) from going through what I did, I reported the incident to the police & am writing this review.
