I've been to this place one or two times and picked up a couple sets of scrubs and was pleased with my experience up until today.
The first thing I'll say is the selection of unisex scrubs is lacking. As a larger male nurse I have trouble finding uniforms to try on as it is let alone unisex scrubs. From what I can tell there was no selection of 3X unisex tops available in any color other than white.
Not a big deal really and the shop owner did offer to order some in for me but I'll admit I was hesitant as I can do just the same thing online and have them dropped at my door step in I imagine half the time via Amazon.
I tried on a total of two tops and one pair of bottoms in what I can guess was about 4-5 minutes. All the while the shop owner was very attentive and helpful. No tops were available as I mentioned so I wanted one pair of bottoms. She brought up 2 pairs of pants for me to which I replied I would only be needing one pair today. She showed me what she had to offer for ordering scrubs and how much they would cost. She mentioned there would be a sale going on through to the end of February and gave me the prices which seemed reasonable. I made note of them in my phone as well as tried out a stethoscope and made note of it's price as well.
Then things got weird. As I'm putting these things in my phone to check on the price online/have it for ordering from her later she seems to insist that I check online to see her prices are the best. I inform her I am being paid tomorrow and was not intending on making a large purchase today. As I ask her what the exact product number of the scrub top is (I intended to have this information so I could call my order in over the phone as I do not live in town and it's a bit out of my way.) she appears to be annoyed with me. Not even thinking anything of it I also confirm the type of stethoscope so I can check some reviews on it to make sure it's something I want. Granted I would probably also make sure I'm not paying too much more than I would online but if it were negligible I am a man of convenience and would prefer just to pick things up locally.
She then proceeds to inform me that going into a shop trying things on is "tacky". Saying she had a woman do the same spending "30-40" minutes being helped only to not make a purchase after trying things on. She claims she heard my place of work was making lab coats mandatory (which it was) and that she extended her scrub sale on through the month to make sure "could help us out". The whole situation was extremely uncomfortable and awkward.
Granted I can understand her frustration at such a situation I must point out that I did make a purchase albeit perhaps not as large as she had hoped. Secondly I spent less than 10 minutes in the shop total so I was not a great time consumer. Thirdly I would have made a larger purchase if the correct unisex scrub top was available. I can understand that unisex probably does not sell as well but I can't buy what is not being sold.
All in all it's a decent shop that will probably fill the needs of the average person in the medical field looking for uniforms, stethoscopes and even shoes but I will say that I will probably make my intended purchase during the sale and not be returning for future business. Perhaps she was having a bad day and took it out on me but I can't really say I feel it was totally justified if not quite a bit tacky in of itself. read more
