I absolutely love Ross and I shop at many of their different locations.
The discounted prices on a variety of brands makes shopping here so enjoyable. The star is for Ross and the items. The lack of stars is due to this particular location's customer service.
Note I *was a loyal customer to this location. I went to this store before and had the biggest issue returning something that had the receipt and was unused + unnecessary attitude toward me and my company. We truly felt they were trying to have some "power" over us due to the fact they are the employees and we are just customers/guests.
I told myself that day I was not going to return to this location, but today my family wanted to shop there and not have to drive further to a different location. So I thought, "Let's give it another try. Maybe the workers were having a horrible day and projected their feelings onto customers".
Unfortunately that was a mistake... again, not the products of the store, but the customer service was poor on all angles...
At the dressing room, this younger woman was ignoring me while I waited to check out. I said excuse me, but she kept pretending to do her tasks. When she finally decided to acknowledge me, she shortly said "put your stuff on the rack". She counted and took the ones I didn't want and I said thank you and she did not reply. I brushed it off, but I left that whole interaction feeling bad.
Later at the register, we were trying to purchase a plain black tank top to a "two-piece" that had no match. We brought a similar two piece that is the same brand, priced at $8.99 for their pricing convenience. The cashier didn't know what to do so she asked the cashier next to her. The cashier named Rachel glanced and said "$10.99". Logically that makes no sense, for a simple black tank top that is missing the bottoms to turn out more expensive than a similar set (with patterns) that was complete.
Rachel rudely ignored my mom when she tried asking her reasoning as to why she said 10.99 when all she did was take a glance.
To sum up the situation, we kindly asked to speak to the manager who turned out to be Rachel. She continued to be rude and tried to have this "power" over us by saying that it is store policy.
We left with such an unpleasant taste in our mouths yet we were still polite to say thank you and we appreciate the cashier checking us out.
I too work in customer service and I put my best effort into my interactions with guests. You learn to tell the difference between straight up rude customers and customers who polite and just want what's right.
To the Ross employees that treat customers less than people, just remember that your bad day should not be projected onto others who had nothing to do with your unhappiness. If you are unhappy where you work, then fake it till you make it to a different job where you can be happy.
