I've been coming here with family and friends for years, never had anything bad to say, but it all changed yesterday. I wish there is a -5 star rating that I can select for this review. The products here and sales people are always great, never disappointing, but apparently not who's managing them!!! Their general Manager -Drew, lacked courtesy, respect for customers, transparency, and totally unethical and unprofessional.
I bought a lovely wallet last week during the 4th of July sales, and told a whole bunch of my friends and family about it, they all went and got th same wallet in different color, then one if my family member who went there on Sunday told me that they are doing a special promotion on this wallet- 50% off of what I bought it for, so naturally as a smart shopper who likes a good deal, I immediately thought it's normal and logical to go in and have the price adjust or return what I had bought repurchase it at the lower discounted price ( which all other retailers do, especially since my item wasn't bought as a final sale) and maybe even pick up a few more ad future gifts- it's a win win.
Apparently that's not what the manager thinks- being a transparent business & have ethical practice. I'm stunned by how Prada could teach or train their manager this way. He greet it me with disrespect, with no willingness to understand the situation- he told me flat out that's not the case and the color of the wallet I had purchased is not on sale, the sale was only for other colors. This was total BS because all the colors started at the same price when I purchase it a week ago and this promo was for all color of this specific style- which I later confirmed with that sales ppl after they looked into the style number in the computer.
Long story short, the Manager Drew hid himself in the back afterable to give me a logical and rational response as to why I can't claim the discount, he later just send his sales ppl to handle the rest of the price investigation and eventually they agreed that I had the right to exchange it and claim my discount.
At the end I'm glad things worked out and I left with two more wallets. But the while experience left me in disgust.
The manager Drew never apologized, and this whole situation made me feel like He/ Prada is manipulating their customer by no disclosing information and trying to hide things and not being transparent. For someone that had owned retail business myself, This is completely a shock to me,and a disgrace to this industry. Customers are not stupid, you can't fool anyone, especially when you are a reputable and supposedly prestigious brand.
This is absolutely the most horrible business practice I've seen yet. read more
