I want to give a HUGE shoutout to the sweetest employee, Juan!!! Thank you sooo much for taking the time to check back storage for my dresses!!! :D I will think of you and the story of how I got the dresses every time I wear it!
I was watching a Zara haul video and the vlogger showed this beautiful black dress that I just had to have. I went on the Zara website and to my surprise it was on sale from $130 to $20?! I would have resisted buying it at the $130 price but because it was at such a bargain, I was obsessed. Unfortunately it was completely sold out online and sold out in stores all around Nevada. Some people are selling it used on poshmark and eBay but at full price. I wouldn't mind buying a used dress but I wanted the $20 price point! The last of its stock was left in this Zara and a couple other malls in LA. After exhausting all my resources like reaching out to friends I have in LA and calling Zara to see if they're able to ship from the store
(If you call Zara, you're unable to reach the store directly and also they do not ship. You would have to go to the store directly) I felt so let down. Someone really aught to make a service where they buy and ship the item for you in these situations. Has this ever happened to anyone else? All the while I was praying Lord God pleassse if there is a way, I've done everything I could do on my end, now if it's your will, please make a way! I figured some time later down the line He would help me find it on poshmark or something. He's done that for me before with another dress I wanted but was way over budget. Years later He got it for me new with tags in my size and at a heavily discounted price so I had faith maybe He would do that again. Funny thing is, the seller posted that dress on my birthday 10/21 so I knew it had to be of God! Since the dress was several years sold out of store at that point, it was literally the last one in the color I wanted and exactly in my size. God may not answer your prayers there and then or in the way you want Him to answer, but if you're persistent in prayer, He will work a miracle. The next morning it came over me to want to drive to LA as a day trip, buy the dress and fill some food cravings I had for El Taurino burritos haha! I reached out 6:00am to a good friend/church friend to see if he wanted to accompany me and being the down to earth guy that he is, he texted right back and said yes!! So I got washed/dressed and went to pick him up and we drove the 4 hours up there haha! I didn't realize when we finally got to Zara that there was a whole sales rack section I would have to dig through. I thought, surely if it was on those racks, it would have been picked over. In a panic I combed through every item of clothing and all the while praying it would be in there. I had faith somehow that God had me covered. That surely I didn't drive all this way to be disappointed! I was so gutted when I didn't find it in there. Yet online it said they had 1 S and 1 XS left! An employee told me all the sale items would be out on those racks and maybe it was already in someone's hand or purchased and not updated. I asked to check the go backs and even walked the entire store to see if someone may have left them in a random section, all the while praying for a miracle. I knew if it was possible that it was purchased but not updated online, it would be true for the other malls that listed they had a couple remaining stock and I was so deflated. As a last ditch effort I stopped the amazinggg Juan and he looked the style number up on his device and saw that since it was listed they had it online, he said he would go check the back for me. After some time of pacing, sweating and internal begging to God for a miracle, my heart JUMPED with happiness and relief as Juan came around the corner carrying the last 2 dresses in store! Surely if they were on the rack, someone would have picked them over but surely God saved them in the back room for me!!! Don't say it ain't a God thang, don't say it ain't a miracle :D Anyway, I really just wanted to give God and Juan credit for making my day! Zara doesn't offer surveys/reviews for their store so I opted to come here on yelp. Juan was such a sweetheart! We got to talking a little and he is so bubbly and silly. If he didn't take the time to check the back for me, I would have believed it was probably on the rack and of course someone bought it up and I wasted my and my friends time. We celebrated with deliciousss burritos and made it safely back home avoiding most of the traffic. God is good :D read more
