Four Chicks In the Park — Local services in Corpus Christi

It's not often that I'd write a bad review of a small business. Normally I'd keep it quiet and hope they do better with the next customer, because they are vital to the community. But I'm so disappointed with this place and could easily see it happening to someone else, so I'm sharing. We received some fancy outfits for our baby twins. The clothes were a little too small when we received them, but the receipt was included, so I brought them to exchange. There were no larger sizes, so I was offered a store credit of about $120. I accepted the credit but did not receive anything like a paper or a gift card. I asked if I could have some record, but the clerk assured me that the information would be stored "in the system." With them unable to provide another option, I agreed.

I next came back nearly a year later (having twin babies makes it very hard to get out shopping beyond necessities), checked in with the clerk, and was assured my credit was still there. Yet after looking around for toddler holiday outfits, I didn't find anything that fit the bill. I thanked the clerk and said I'd try another time. I came to the store again this week and decided I'd put some of the credit toward a Mother's Day gift. The clerk looked me up and I was not in their system. I told her this would have been from about three years ago, and she scoffed back: "We clear our system every YEAR." Ok. It's reasonable to have an expiration date on a store credit, and that would have been fine, EXCEPT that no one I ever dealt with ever mentioned this verbally or could give me anything in writing describing the terms of the store credit. Including when I had them look me up the following year and it would have been just about to expire - no warning then, either. So just like that, there goes $120. If the situation were reversed and I had stolen $120 from them, the police would be called. But when they steal from me, they can scoff at me for ignorance of their unwritten rules. Corpus Christi, we can do better than this place. There are plenty of locally-owned boutiques more worthy...

I am very disgusted I thought we left discrimination in the past! After going to have a nice lunch at Hester’s cafe next door my sister-in-law, mother-in-law and myself decided to go look around four chicks in the park. The workers were white and we were Hispanic/Mexican. There was a group of white ladies who entered the store before us but after we entered we were immediately followed to the back of the store while we were looking around not once but twice. And there was another group of white ladies already in the store and they weren’t followed either only us. We felt very discriminated against just because we have a different color they assumed we were going to try to steal things!!

We just welcomed two baby boys into our family and we are expecting a third baby soon. We wanted to spend money on baby clothes. This business could have potential reoccurring customers but after we noticed us being followed but not others we decided to take our business elsewhere. I do not recommend shopping here if you want to feel respected as a...

I came in to take a peek since I was ordering food next door.. there were two ladies there one was super sweet and the other lady with glasses was just so cold and rude. I had no idea how overpriced everything was which is no big deal but I did mention I thought it was a certain price at register. The lady made me feel like if I couldn’t afford it. She also kept an eye on me like if she felt I would steal. I wasn’t dressed fancy or had a $$ appearance but Dear Lord there’s no need to make me feel like I can’t afford anything there. Just plain nasty to treat people that way. If the owner reads this I hope you train your sales associate with the glasses on to treat people with decency I mean you’re playing “Christian” music in there for...
