“Disgusted”
15 December 2018, early afternoon. Janie and Jack store, Woodfield Mall, Schaumburg.
Came in looking to get some new clothes for my 3-year old daughter and 11-month old son for Christmas. While shopping, store was packed with people, a staff (turned out to be the manager, we didn’t know then) approached my wife and daughter about the dress the latter was wearing. My wife was surprised, taken aback by this “manager’s” approach, her tone was accusing and demeaning. My wife kept her composure and nicely replied that the dress was my daughter’s, and which was bought days before (one of the lady store staff, was not able to get her name, even remembered us the day we bought it). The woman replied in an outright sarcastic and still accusing tone “Are you sure? That’s her dress?” At this point, my wife could not take this woman’s manners (or lack thereof) anymore and could no longer hold back her emotions. She sternly and irately addressed the “manager” if she wanted proof. Suddenly, the woman started walking away, ignoring my wife completely, and went directly to the store’s backroom. She left my wife there hanging, unpacified, and no explanations. We asked one of the other staff if we could speak with the store manager to file a complaint but turned out that that woman was. We insisted on wanting to speak with her but the other staff said, “she is busy with something.” Worst part of this ordeal, while everything is happening, my daughter kept on saying in a scared, sad tone “mommy, this is my dress.” The look on her face just crushed our hearts. She may be just three but she is smart. She knows she was accused of something that was false. We assured her she did nothing wrong and that was her dress all along. When we left the store, my wife was in tears because she was so furious and have never been humiliated that way ever. We still cannot believe that the manager had NO REMORSE, totally DISRESPECTFUL, and had NO DECENCY to face us and apologize. Janie and Jack this sort of people will tarnish your brand. Completely disgusted and so disappointed!
