I made a special order with this store on May 28th. I called a couple of times to follow up and I…read morewas told that they would call me. Fast-forward today a week later I receive an email at 8:18 this morning that my order was ready for pick up... I get to the store to retrieve my item and the associate slipped up by stating that two of the same items came in this morning. She even asked a gentleman colleague about the items. She goes to the back and here comes the manager.... The manager states that the order was actually for someone else.. a gentleman... MY ORDER THAT I RECEIVED EMAIL NOTIFICATION THAT IT WAS READY FOR PICK UP AT 8:18 THIS MORNING... when I questioned her about what the previous associate commented of having received two of the same, she then changed her story and said that the gentleman's order was received earlier in the week... the order in reference was not something that I received email earlier in the week. It was something that I received today at 8:18 AM. So already stories were twisting. It wouldn't be so bad had stories been all the same but they were different and I do believe the first associate as I received the email... 2 n 2 put together made sense there. She then said it was to had to came in but didn't.... Now going down another rabbit hole of a lie. The manager stated that they do not scan in orders. I can understand that but when they receive any order, it is their responsibility to check it in. If something is missing on the invoice they will be held accountable. I know how this works, I choose them in the industry.!!! Only options per manager was to get on chat to see what was going on which again.... What's going on is my PAID item was sold to another guest for whatever reason! Or... refund me. Obviously I chose the refund. There is no reason to be made a fool twice at this location. It's the fact that I was expected to just accept anything being told. When math ain't mathin' it's time to call bull!
