Third time is a charm! What a miracle! On the hunt for aloha attire.
First shop I went in the same mall, no acknowledgement, eye contact or greeting while I perused through all the racks. Didn't find what I needed so l left in a jiffy.
Second shop nearby provided superb customer service. Sales worker offered me to try on a XXS size 6 tricolored jumper with puakenikeni design in their fitting room. I was floored when my son stated with a serious face, "It looks like stay at home clothes. You look like a grandma!" This is the first time he's ever mentioned that to me regarding fashion. I trust his opinion and honesty since he has a keen eye for arts and colors. Even after I fully adjusted the straps. Final decision made since I could no longer adjust the straps further. Two sales workers were busy speaking with other customers. I returned the jumper to the rack and exited.
Third shop had a few customers shopping. When cashier and sales associate weren't preoccupied with a customer, I inquired if the jumper at the front on display is the last one. She said, "Yes. Would you like to try it on?" I responded, "Yes. please." She brought the jumper to me and stated it's a size small. I said, "Yes." I tried it on then asked my son, "How do you like it?" He said, "It's up to you if you want to get it." Same sales associate complimented, "It looks really nice on you." I said, "Thank you." Price was right. Decided to recheck stitching. Passed the test. Made up my mind. Purchased. Cody asked, "Do you want a bag?" I replied, "Yes. Sure." Cody also asked, "What I was buying this for?" I said, "To wear at a first birthday luau." We're able to converse and she fully understood.
I found one more with same design in size small in the back on higher rack. I informed Cody she has another one to replace the display. Technically, I bought the second to the last one. Thank you Cody for excellent customer service. read more
