I picked two candlesticks out of their back "Christmas consignment" area having been told "everything back there is half off". I left them up front and the lady noted they appeared incorrectly labeled, but said she "believed me". Assuming that was the end of it, I then wandered around the store thinking about what items I might like to choose for the house for at least 30 more minutes, then decided to head back home to think about what the house needed prior to deciding what to buy. I went back to the front and was told in the awkwardest and rather impolite way that the items were not half off, by a different woman. It was clear the error had been discussed between the two earlier. No token apology, no "sorry for the confusion", no "I understand why you may be disappointed". When I said they looked Christmasy and could there have been an error in the labelling I received a vague "eh" and no answer. Perhaps the lady thought I was lying. I'm out ten bucks so it's really not the money I care about, but as soon as I purchased them I regretted it and wished I'd left them on the counter. It was rude, inconsiderate, and awkward, once the error had been discovered, to allow the customer to continue to wander around for so long unaware that there had been an error. Why not just come up to me and tell me so I can have a moment to think about it? In those circumstances, waiting until the customer feels pressured into purchasing the items before making the error clear is also rude, and in poor taste. Will buy my furnishings and decor elsewhere in the future.
