Was looking at the dresses for less than a minute before one of the employees walks up to me and coldly said that nothing in the store would fit me (Iām a size medium) other than the āplus sizeā section she had arranged. I went back and forth with her for a bit (about me having a tailor in the area etc) but the way she was arguing with me/ dismissing me was probably the most embarrassing conversation Iāve ever had with an employee in a store. She would not let it go or leave me alone until I went to the āplus sizeā section. This behavior is way out of line to be talking to a customer unprompted about their body.

I was just looking at it, and if you had left me alone I wouldāve moved on to the rest of your dresses happily. Your āadviceā was unsolicited, unwanted, and uncomfortable.

I tried to continue browsing to be polite but you left a horrible impression and I would not want to support you or your shop in any way after my experience. Bottom line, if you had kept your opinion of my body size to yourself, you wouldāve...

Ā Ā Ā Read moreOutstanding āvintageā thrift store. Highly recommended. Outstanding array of leather coats & vintage designer dresses & gowns! My wife found a mint condition 80s formal dress that would retail for about $500 for $50. I found an unworn 90s high quality Hawaiian shirt that would easily run $80-100 niche market for $27. Staff/Owners very helpful and personable. This place is a gold mine for knowledgeable buyers looking for one or two 24 kt nuggets in a huge array of pyrite. But even the pyrite is decent, potentially valuable for special...
