I am glad to know that my sweater is out of style just like Irina’s. Boy BR is never going to make money with help like that.

Tie dye is forever.

Unbelievable!

I had a somewhat similar experience at the Joe Fresh ‘flagship’ several years ago. 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
inventory in the dressier & 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

Oh noooo!! :0 Call the fashion police!!! You Must immediately go back and replace your Entire Wardrobe straightaway-- Every Single Season or else you're just an uncouth barbarian!!!

Her attitude is so last season

I often have problem with SA refusing to give me my size and commenting that no way in hell I wear the size that I asked for and forcing me to try at least 1-2 sizes bigger size. Not sure why it happens, and it doesn’t really matter what size I am at the moment.

Good lord Anchie - that is so unbelievably rude? We need to come up with some sort of stock response for these situations ... brainstorming cap is on

Ehrmagerd Lisa, can you just go away and let her get back to her text-message conversation already? She's trying to dissect that Tik Tok her best frenemy just posted, with her other best frenemy. Eventually they're going to mutually agree it was "lame".

Anchie, my ex-MIL used to do that. Projecting. She would buy me clothes for Christmas, based on her sizes (she was 8 inches taller than me, and about 50 pounds heavier). I would give her stuff back, to return, because I didn't want to her to waste her money on something I would never wear. She would tell me how much I was hurting her feelings that I didn't wear it anyway. One year she sent me a package of silky granny pants. I couldn't begin to think of all the ways to let her know I thought this was weeeeeird, so I donated them, as they were new in the package, with tags still attached.

Jules... I have no words. That SA is a grade A, totally fresh jerk. FWIW, I've bought several Joe Fresh Grocery Store items that have been in my wardrobe for years. LOL.

Also, tie-dye is timeless.

Hah, that’s ridiculous!

Rude SAs have played no small part in my shift toward online shopping.

A good SA is a great help and makes shopping pleasurable, unfortunately there are many bad apples. I had similar experiences than Archie but one of best one was a SA who packed my purchase, received the payment and walked off leaving the bag on the other side of the till.

Wow, so clueless.

That is both hilarious and frustrating! For heaven's sake!!

Clear evidence of lagging skills and perhaps not highly motivated for this position as a sales associate.

Ha ha. I knew someone who used to call SAs like this the Sales Prevention Force.
