AKIRA

"This place was NOT a good look. The store was full of associates who were inconsiderate about navigating around me when I had my hands full of clothing. They could have easily gone down another row (they were short- think portable clothing rack) but instead found it better to squeeze past me. There were PLENTY of staff on the floor - only one even engaged me and only two were at the register. Some were connecting to customers but most were talking to each other. It’s clear folks come to work to play as opposed to customer service. It took over 30 minutes in line and as I was reaching to a bag stuck on a rack to my right (never leaving - leaning over) the rudest woman cut in front of me and the associate took her. In the era of online shopping this caliber of service is unacceptable. Shout out to Kayla who actually helped me in the floor and in the dressing room. If not for her I would’ve left when I saw the line. Sadly it was another staff member that made that decision for me."

"Bobby was great at helping me find something to wear for my niece sweet 16. I came in defeated because I recently broke a bone in my ankle and am in a cast. I wasn’t able to wear the dress I had originally planned without heels. Bobby helped me find something perfect for the event in a very positive and friendly manner. I left excited to wear my new outfit."
