This brand is primarily sold at large grocery stores with housewares but they do have a standalone store in the old Maple Leaf Gardens space where they actually have displays, SAs, more<br /> inventory in the dressier &amp; fashion forward items, etc. The SAs are generally young stylish people but don’t seem very experienced which is fair. There was one middle aged woman I saw around a few times who seemed more experienced but with that came a bit of attitude. Before I learned to avoid her as unhelpful I asked about a brand new item I’d seen online and she dismissively told me it must be one of the grocery store items and they wouldn’t carry that there. The item was linen joggers near the beginning of the joggers trend hitting mainstream stores and early in the season, which is why they caught my eye enough to be wanting them. I think I did end up finding them at the grocery store tho so maybe she was right and I should know my (middle aged mom shopping at the grocery store) place </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hilarious-moment-at-br-62721/page/2#post-2205779 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 08:32:25 +0000 Star (Lise) 2205779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unbelievable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hilarious-moment-at-br-62721/page/2#post-2205753 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 02:27:35 +0000 Brooklyn 2205753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tie dye is forever. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hilarious-moment-at-br-62721/page/2#post-2205752 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 01:44:14 +0000 Debbie 2205752@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am glad to know that my sweater is out of style just like Irina’s.

There used to be a wonderful one at our BR, for several years. She influenced several of my buying decisions.

Although this one sounds like a doozy. Here the pharmacies also sell makeup and there are these extremely annoying SAs that pounce on you if you even walk by. And they typically know NOTHING. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hilarious-moment-at-br-62721#post-2205707 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 22:15:59 +0000 nuancedream 2205707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Precisely why I never ask SAs for assistance. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hilarious-moment-at-br-62721#post-2205699 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 21:49:23 +0000 Echo 2205699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ugh. I learned long ago not to ask SAs for help because of exactly the situation you describe here! So many places are so desperate for help that they hire any warm body off the street, so too many SAs have no idea what they carry or where it might be found, let alone how it fits. It is easier just to investigate on my own than to ask for "help"!</p> <p>But what a shame when an SA costs the store money instead of makes it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hilarious-moment-at-br-62721#post-2205697 Sun, 27 Jun 2021 21:43:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2205697@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>Taking the A right out of SA.
