They called asking about a product with an imperfection, which seemed like stellar customer service. Everyone was masked and practice social distancing when going to pick up. I was already on foot, but they have curbside pick up. The online shopping experience was convenient and identifies items out of stock or low. Wonderful experience from start to finish.

I was visiting my sister in Roanoke and she told me about these amazing boutiques. I was excited to…read morestop in Bittersweet. They had cute clothes but I did not like how I was being treated. For starters they were watching me like a hawk when I was trying dresses on. Once I was done, I decided to be helpful and put the clothes back. After I did that, one of the workers asked me where I put the clothes. I told her I put them back, and then she proceeded to check all the pieces that I tried on. Then as I was leaving, they called me back in asking where I put the one dress because they could not find it. I walked right in and found it in 30 seconds and I felt like I knew the store better than the employee. I understand that they have a job to do and have to make sure people do not steal but I felt judged the moment I walked in. I felt like I was accused of stealing and if they are so worried about people stealing then put sensors on their clothes. The only reason I gave it 3 stars instead of 1 star is because they had cute clothes.

When I saw the price tag I put I back because I did not think it was worth the price. I do not have an issue with spending a lot of money on clothing, but I want to buy quality pieces that will last. The entire time the owner watched us like a hawk and when I went to try on a top she started to call me and my friends poor within earshot. I have never felt so disrespected. We said something to them and they looked completely unbothered about being rude.

That excitement was cut short due to the mixed matched and small selection; however, I could have picked out a few pieces, that is if someone would have acknowledged I was actually in the store and shown me a few things. Maybe it was because I was not a regular - they seem to be catering to some. Typical small town mentality. No worries, stopped by Georgetown and got everything I needed and more...they did not know me either.
