First and foremost, I expect things to cost more in South Beach. It goes with the territory. That being said, I should have been tipped off when nothing we looked at had price tags. My wife and I picked out two tshirts, and two toy sports cars for my boys as souvenirs of our trip. I expected maybe 15 to 20 dollars for the tshirts, and 5 or so dollars for the toy cars. When we went to the counter to pay, the clerk said 109 dollars. It floored me. I will be upfront and say I immediately lost my cool, as it was obvious they were attempting to take advantage of us (as im sure they do most people.) The clerk told me to calm down and we would negotiate. I said "It would have to be a far cry from 109 dollars!" Some girl came over and looked through a book, and said "Minimum 19.99 for shirts." The clerk then replied "60 for everything." I again said "No. Absolutely not. Lets go." to my wife. The clerk felt the need to cop an attitude and attempt to make me out to be the crazy one by saying "Youre in Miami. You wont find anything cheaper." So I said "Then I wont buy anything!" INSANE....I suspect they prey on people from other countries, unable to speak English, not being able fully understand the dollar conversion, as nobody in their RIGHT MIND would spend 109 or even 60 dollars on two screen printed tshirts, and two toy cars. GO ELSEWHERE. I ended up buying stuff...
Read moreMy best friend and I just had the worst possible experience ever at this store Vibe. The moment we walked in the store we were being followed around. I took a picture in a pair of $15 sunglasses and was rudely yelled at by the manager, whom said she was the “owner” saying that I cannot take a picture in her store. My friend and I proceeded to leave the store, after I told her how rude the woman was. As we were being followed out of the store I asked my friend to step aside to let the store clerk pass us because I felt like she was following us. Then the owner proceeds to say, “I know you think this is about the color of your skin, but it’s not!” I never assumed anything like that. My friend and I were outside of the store at this point and she screams that she found a tag on the floor from a pair of sunglasses. That’s when I asked if she was implying that I stole something. I said to her, “We are police officers! We don’t steal!” It’s very upsetting to come on vacation from Las Vegas to Miami to be treated this way. I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM THIS STORE AND WOULDN’T RECOMMENED ANYONE ELSE...
Read moreWas about to buy a suit from this store and took a picture to send to my boyfriend to see if he liked it and got yelled at in Spanish after I’d already told her I only know how to speak English. All I got out of what she said was “no photos”. My mom looked at me and quietly said “let’s go” because she was uncomfortable at this point and the woman put her hand up, rolled her eyes, and said “bye” with a horrible attitude. I’m the way out I looked at the tag on one suit by a high end designer named Agua Bendita. I love her suits and this suit was priced about $40 over what the same suit is on the designers website. After seeing that I understood why they didn’t want us...
