I came into this store a month ago to browse. I tried on a metal skeleton-shaped bracelet, but decided not to purchase it because it was way overpriced. I made it known to the proprieteress/manager that I was not going to take the item. I then left the store.
A few moments later, the person I was with went to the counter to pay for his items. The proprieteress/manager told him that I wanted the bracelet, and attempted to get him to pay for it. When he said, "If she had wanted it, she would have paid for it", she protested, and said, "It would have been nice if she had told me she didn't want it" (although her grammar probably wasn't as precise as this).
This was of course an outright lie, and I am deeply unimpressed with her attempt to con customers into paying for items they do not want. Unethical business practices like this ought to be exposed for what they are. Not to mention, if she had not overpriced her items, she might have had a better chance of making a sale. I shop at vintage stores regularly, and I know an overpriced item when I see one.
Last weekend, I walked into this store and asked for her business card. I then told her that I would be sure to leave a poor review. She cares so much about customer satisfaction, apparently, that she did not bother to answer a single word, let alone ask why a customer was dissatisfied. If she does not care whether she makes a profit, she doesn't deserve to make it. read more
