Everywhere I wanted to go in are by appointment only now.
2 years I needed an ink refill for one of my Cartier pens.
Had it in my hand and wanted a manager to just get one, charge me and they could spend time as a tour guide with people who probably aren't going to buy.
Was told appointment only.
I was furious and called their HQ.
I got no where.
Found a fellow owns a high end writing instrument store and he had the refill I needed.
I'm done with these retail places.
Now, I only buy online
I guess in some areas, it’s either this or close altogether.
How long before this applies to Walmart?
Trying to stay open, but what’s to stop someone from making an appointment and showing up with a posse to loot the place?
White People Problems, lol, just kidding.
Seriously though, how is the crime and squalor that has infected Union Square not get raised here? What’s the use of free parking if your car is pretty much guaranteed to be broken into.
Why blame the retailer? They are being overrun by barbarians if their stores are open. With the blessings of a criminal state.
Isn’t shopping for high end women an emotional experience, an outing of immersion and stimuli that is triggered by the mood for that day?
Making an appointment for the grocery store to pick up your grocery list is one thing, but isn’t the shopping for scarves and purses, outfits and accessories an indulgence experience for women that that doesn’t fit as pleasantly into scheduled in advance appointments, for instance the day they feel bloated?
My wife is a Cartier shopper. She looks like a Cartier shopper.
They are appointment only, but always open the door for her.
Magically, an appointment opens up when she arrives in her Range Rover.
Note, not saying that you don’t look like an MB shopper. But smart stores know this is basically a scam just done to keep out “youths”. MB needs to get with the program.
How else are urban youths suppose to claim their undocumented reparations?
