I am writing this while my annoyance is still fresh since it just happened.
I have been here many many times before. And considering one shirt is almost always at least 50 bucks I have spent quite a bit of money over the years. But I am a nike girl what can I say? I will choose nike shoes and work out gear over Adidas, new balance, saucony, asics you get the point. What I am not a fan of though is people having a job and blatantly sucking at it. Almost acting like I should praise them for being there. You are getting paid do your damn job or there's a line of people waiting to work.
So let's rewind just a bit. I walk over to nike already having shorts I want on my mind because I stalked them on line. I walk in grab a few (more like 11) items and walk straight to the fitting room. There standing is a sorry excuse of an employee who right away shouts my way "5 items only". No hi no nothing. Well I actually don't remember them ever even enforcing this rule, or maybe they know I am there a lot and let it slide or MAYBE (and I am leaning towards this one) the girl just wanted to be difficult. Well I hate this 5 items only rule as it is, but rules are rules, but at least make my life easier and switch out my items without me having to dress back up, come out, you get the point. So I tell this girl "can you stick around so I can switch items?" ....she mumbles something and I not feeling like asking what she even said go in.
Well I am done with my 5 allowed items, and want 2 out of those 5 items (the shorts I saw online and a little running tee). I open the door just a tad and ask her to switch me out. She is standing RIGHT NEXT TO THE RACK my items are on, and I mind you am butt booty naked in the room. But guess what? She was just on a roll of being the worst employee of the year because she tells me, a customer, a frequent customer at that, "come out and switch it". I LOST it by this point. I straight up told her no, you come and give me my 5 items, I am naked and am not coming out, and you are making it extremely difficult and inconvenient for me. So with an attitude she did what she should have done with pleasure (or at least fake it) in the beginning. By that time I was in no mood to even try on anything so I stood there for a second to chill out and came out.
So she is standing there basking in her attitude meanwhile I hang the 5 items (I should have threw it at her honestly). So then I ask her "where are my 2 items I gave you?". So she hands over 3 items to me, and MY SHORTS I made the trip for are gone. So I tell her "I am sorry, I have no idea what these other 2 items are, but where are my shorts I gave you???" Well I guess this employee of the month was so annoyed I asked her to do her damn job she purposely "misplaced" them.
I think she knew by this point I was not happy and developing a craving to perhaps tell her manager that she actually left her little post (not like she was doing her job at her post to begin with) and got me another pair.
I still bought the shorts and the shirt cause I just needed a new workout outfit but honestly screw a store that lacks simple fitting room etiquette. That girl needs a major wake up call or she won't get far in life. Nike I still love you, but train your employees better... A lot better. read more
