1 /5 Marla VerDuin: Every time I visit this store there is no one around to greet or acknowledge me. Most often I am in the store shopping for a minimum of 10 minutes before any one even approaches me to say “hello.” If I am greeted, that is all I get. No one asks me what I’m shopping for or how they can help me, unless it’s someone working that knows me. Usually I find what I need on my own, get my own stuff down and help myself to the fitting room. When this happens, they only notice me when I’m ready to checkout and ask me if anyone helped me. When I say no, they always apologize… one of my most recent experiences, I did not find anything to purchase and I went unnoticed or acknowledged the entire time. Even though I would appreciate help in putting outfits together and shopping for special occasions, I am not sure if the employees there would lead me in the right direction as most of them don’t appear to be fashionable or put themselves together, as college sweatpants and leggings seem to be the fashion standard in this store.
