I recently purchased two pair of Guccis sunglasses at the outlet store in Commerce GA and was assured I could return them to any Sunglass Hut store if I was dissatisfied. Well I tried to do that at the Marietta, GA store in Avenues at West Cobb and the sales associate refused to return the pair and insinuated that I stole the shades as they were not on my receipt. She was referring to the item number on the arm of the sunglasses and the item number on my receipt. I knew this experience was not going to go well upon entering the store as she was not pleasant when I walked in, and I had never been treated this way at a Sunglass Hut sore. Once she realized that the item numbers didn't match she immediately placed the sunglasses on the counter and told me to return them back to Commerce GA. That's not an easy task as the outlet is 2 hrs away from my home. This associate/store manager didn't attempt to do any type of problem solving as I assured her that I purchased both the sunglasses I was returning and the ones I was wearing from the Sunglass Hut. She IMMEDIATELY assumed that I was engaging in nefarious actions. I was absolutely appaled and offended and said so to her. She became offended, ordered me out of her store, threatening to call the police on me and she locked the door during store hours. To de-escalate the situation I went outside and called the store I purchased them, which she could have done. I reached Casey, whom I purchased the sunglasses from, she remembered me as we had a very pleasant shopping experience. She remembered my items purchased and proceeded to call the store to inform the associate on how to look up the item number for the Gucci sunglasses. Casey at the Commerce store cleared up the discrepancy. The associate at the Marietta store only unlocked the door because of Casey. Once I entered the store, she completed the return transaction with a scowl on her face and she didn't say one word to me when done. I left the store thanking Casey at the Commerce store for her assistance and assuring her that I will be back when I come thru Commerce to purchase more sunglasses from her. I will NEVER patronize the Marietta store ever again and will tell all of my neighbors and friends not to either. As the associates/managers are rude and discriminating. They made me feel devalued, paltry and discriminated against! I don't have to feel this way after i spent over $700 on one purchase. Ill take my hard earned money to a store like Commerce, GA that values and treats EVERY customer with respect and care. read more
