Bridal store VENT

Original post by whispersamethyst

I cannot understand the nastiness of some people in the selling business... especially when it's their own store! I went to Isabella's wedding center in Brooklyn so my BM and JBM can find Bari Jay dresses that looked similar to the dress my sister wants to get. And OMG the couple who own the store were so unbelievably rude!

The women rudely commented on my nieces weight, insisting that none of the dresses would look right on her (except the busy looking one I didn't like, which she knew about from two weeks ago) because she has a big belly. That annoyed the hell out of me! I had to search for a dress for her on my own, because the women refused to help me after that... meanwhile that was the only dress she gave my niece to try on!

After finding a dress that looked great on my niece and her mom, we asked about prices. She got nasty with me, yet again, because she said she told me the prices two weeks ago. Um, hello that was a different dress in which my MOH tried on. How the hell am I supposed to know the prices of two dresses I never saw before until today?

And then the best part was right when we were about to order the dresses. The women said the girls all have to come in on different days to get measured because she simply cannot do that all at the same time. That doesn't make a lick of sense! Last I checked it doesn't take long to measure bust, waist and hips. They were really trying to push them into putting a deposit today, but I told my BM to hold off on it since it was more than expected, 75%, and she didn't have the money for it until the end of the week. when she asked about alteration prices the guy hiked the price up from what I was told the other day. When I called him out on it, he tells me some crap about us taking too long to order. I walked out at that point.

Sorry this was long, but I just came home and really needed to vent. You think people would actually try to be hospitable when trying to make a sale, not make the customer feel like crap.
