Love the clothes, not the vendor so much....? - Page 2

Usually the vendor can be ignored if I like the line. I dislike the SG line, garish prints, liquid knit is not for me, and really can't watch her so I never watch her or her line even without her. There are a coup;e of hosts that I avoid so miss whatever they are selling. I do check out on line though.

I was in a store whose brand name I shall not divulge here but a store at which I purchased quite a bit of clothing, so sufice it to say "middle income clothing, nice and maybe what I would call middle-aged women store.."

I saw a new look in the store that I really liked and commented, "Oh, that is pretty, it has a St John vibe... I like that.."

She remarked in a condescending tone... "We don't sell anything that here...our clothing is nice, high priced. Maybe you should shop at JCP..."

I don't know that I would have bought anything that day anyway but I was enjoying the browse until she said that. Obviously, I was not the one who did not know clothing. I wished her a good day and walked out.

I shop online (and ocasonally watch TV) without regards of vendor. I have purchased items with names of people I don't care for. Most of them don't design the clothes, they just have their name on it. If I like it, and it suits me, I'll buy.

Susan Graver, don't like the vendor and don't like the clothes.

That’s hilarious! It took me a minute to figure out what was in that saleslady’s head. Then it dawned on me! J.C. Penney has St.John’s Bay, I think.. could that be it? Hahahaha! (And I could trade in any one of my St. John pieces for about 50 St. John’s Bay items).

I won’t buy anything from Rinna. That’s the only one.

@Nonametoday Oh, I know the feeling. I was at the only bench jeweler nearby, waiting for the guy to give a final polish for the piece I was having repaired..........and decided I'd look at some sapphire earrings while I was waiting. The snotty woman behind the counter said, "YOU can't AFFORD those earrings." My jaw dropped, and I was speechless.

I had a friend have that happen to her when she was looking at a 3-carat diamond in a local jewelry store. The clerk told her she could not open the glass as she is only allowed to that for serious customers. She replied "I could buy this store ." And she could, but she is not pretentious and dresses in jeans or shorts and T-shirts because she spends most of her days in summertime gardening or sailing, her hobbies.

She has fine clothes but reserves them for what she calls "occasions," and for travel as they do a lot of that. Just shows it is hard to judge a book by its cover and we should not do that. I am sorry that happened to you. Perhaps you should not return to that store.
