 Bad Bad Bad Service on Michigan Ave. I was in BR yesterday and had a ton of stuff in my hands. #1 noone asked to start a dressing room for me. #2 when I went to find a dressing room it took me 5 minutes to find someone to let me into one. Finally when I got there I asked the girl if they had an cami to go under all the sheer shirts I was trying on and she tells me "yeah you can go look downstairs where we keep them, if we even have yoru size left" mind you she says this as if I'm a hog. I'm a M or a size 6, granted she made Kate Moss look fat but still no reason to be like that. So I proceeded to drop all approx 20 things I had in the middle of the floor told her "thanks you've been a ton of help" and left. I was furious. Not only would she not get a cami for me but insulted me in the process!!!!!

What a bitch! We've all seen pics of you and you are gorgeous! You said she made Kate Moss look fat? Well, she's probably just grumpy and taking it out on other people because she's so hungry.....I'd be grouchy too if I didn't let myself eat!

That's horrible!  What a witch!


I have to say though that I'm not impressed at all w/the BR on Michigan and it's supposed to be one of their biggest stores, you'd think it'd be the best.  Last time I was there, they had nothing in my size and were totally understocked.  And it took the girl like 10 mins to find me a fitting room.

Call the CS number and tell them.  They'll send you a coupon of giftcard to please you.  I went in a new BR store on a business trip one time.  The first day I went in I was wearing sweats and tennis shoes, hair in a ponytail (one of those "not caring" days).  No one offered to help me, they seemed to turn the other way.  I just wanted to scream "Hell-o I make a LOT more money then you and it's your job to take care of me when I'm spending it", But then I thought that would be too mean, so I kept my mouth shut and left the store.  The next day I went back to the store in my regular business appropriate clothes after a meeting.  They were tripping over each other to help me.  I actaully turned my nose up and said that nothing was impressing me.  Walked out empty handed.  When I got back home, I called the CS number and explained, they took the name of the store and said they would call them plus sent me a nice little gift card to get me to try there store again!!


By the way, I love how you handled it!

I have noticed that the staff at BR are sometimes snooty, as if it's some sort of high dollar place, it's really annoying.

the funniest part of that is, RAR210, if they only knew how much stuff you actually buy in that store!  it seems like every day you have several new pieces that you just bought at BR (all of it cute and promoted to the rest of us).  they should be paying you!

You rock, Collette!  I would have loved to see her have to pick up all those clothes on the ground!
