This is not a review for loft itself, but rather this location. This may be long winded, however, something NEEDS to be said about the ridiculous customer service to be experienced here... it seems I'm not the only one from the other reviews.
I live in North Andover, and this loft is the closest to me other than at the north shore mall.. this is literally the ONLY store I shop at along with Nordstrom & Macy's. The loft clothes are legit my favorite, and really the only place lou&grey is sold at...
So I've been shopping at this location for about a year. I am literally in this store 2-3x a month, and spend between $2-600 each time. I've never given any impression that I am a shoplifter, I've honestly never even left this store without buying 5 things.... yet SOMEHOW literally every time I go in there I've been treated like I'm scum. I get they may have a problem with shoplifters here, given the location, so the first couple of times I brushed it off thinking they're just doing their job... but after literally spending $500 I figured they realize that I'm here to shop, not shop lift.
It's gotten so bad the last few times... who I am assuming is the manager, she is white, brunette, thin and older woman- she literally sees me come in, and pulls her girls aside and has them watch me, follow me around, and keep an extra eye on me as if I am a shop lifter.
Listen, when I go shopping (especially at the loft) I take like 10-15 things to try on because I f*** love everything. Half of it doesn't fit me, so I put everything back on the hangers, hang it all back up, NEVER leaving anything in the dressing room...and then I proceed to buy the other half. This lady apparently doesn't like it. She's rung me up before, and every time she'd say "you know these are $60 each right?" As if I look like I can't afford them. Maybe I don't look like I can, maybe I just left work after working 12 hours and threw my hair in a bun and look a mess, maybe you can't stomach that a 28 year old woman, more than half your age most likely makes 3x your salary and can afford to drop $600 on cute tops, and it has your stomach turning. Maybe you just hate your life, or maybe you're discriminating against my looks or my age and assuming that I threw a bunch of shit in my purse and my card will be declined while you're ringing me out....BUT it never does.
So what should be a fun night shopping after a stressful work week turns into a night of second guessing myself...wondering if I should leave my purse in the car, if I should put makeup on, if I should drive an extra 30 minutes to the Peabody loft (which has AMAZING customer service btw) or if I should even shop at the loft at all anymore.-which I actually stopped doing the last few months after my last experience there with this woman--
It is literally so insulting and infuriating read more
