Bizarrely rude, disrespectful service.
This shop's beautiful clothing caught my eye, so my husband and I stopped in. I brought several items into the dressing room.
Meanwhile, my husband was considering trying on a sweater. While he was looking at it, the shopkeeper went into the back and came out wearing that very sweater -- but didn't say a word about it.
While my husband was deciding what to make of this, I came out to show him a shirt. We agreed it was beautiful, but not for my body shape. The shopkeeper reached into my dressing room for the tops I didn't want. I was ready to look for more, and I hadn't even tried on the pants I had in there, but he reached for the pants and snapped, "Those too, please."
Then he said, "I don't think you will find anything here to your taste."
Of course, we left immediately. The man seemed like he was seething with fury. I'm glad my husband was there to witness this or I might not have believed it.
For a great selection and attentive, caring service, I recommend Bliss on Exchange Street (www.blissboutiques.com). I bought a gorgeous top and hair clips there. I also finally found a wonderful winter coat at Nomads (http://nomadsmaine.com/). read more
