Brightside Boutique- Annapolis

"Disappointing selection of clothes. Very bare. Limited sizings. Felt uncomfortable the entire time. Was told to leave my diaper bag outside of the fitting room to only have the associate hovering on the other side of the curtain. I worked retail and respected my costumers personal space. Never asked them to leave any bags outside of the fitting room."

"Hostile boutique. Overall weird vibes given by the sales associates here. They will follow you around the entire store ensuring you aren't "stealing". Its a shame you can not shop in peace without these people hovering around you. Be AWARE you might be followed around at this establishment."

"Went in to shop with my cousin and was badgered the entire time by the sales associate. I was just looking around, grabbing a shirt or two, and she continued to try to take them from me to put them in a room or at the counter during the entire visit. I tried on a shirt and asked my cousin to help me tighten it in the back. When she proceeded to help me, the sale associate yelled across the store to tell us only one person at a time in the room so we stepped out even thought it was a corset top and quite open. While trying to help me outside the room, the lady continued to tell my cousin how to do it as if she didn't already know. My cousin did not like this treatment and even put back the three articles of clothing she was ready to purchase. I felt rushed and bombarded the entire time. I have never felt this at any other location I've visited. She also made a snarky comment to another customer who was looking at jewelry while I was checking out telling her what to do and what not to do. I don't know if I would return to this location solely because of this women."

"I would have rated my experience a zero but unfortunately there isn’t that option. I came in looking for a dress for a summer wedding with my husband and infant son. I was offered a dressing room which was great so that I could try on the dress I liked. There was an associate who told me to hand my diaper bag to my “hubs/friend” with the most absolutely the most condescending tone. She stood right in front of my dressing room that made me extremely uncomfortable. Even though I liked the dress and wanted to purchase it—the way my husband and I were made to feel was absolutely despicable. I have shopped at Brightside at my home store in Baltimore and NEVER was made to feel uncomfortable. I do have to give one complement to the woman who greeted us right as we came in was very nice."

"Selling broken and unwearable merchandise at a small discount for final sale. Asked the sales associate why there was only a 15% discount on broken merch and she said they receive the merch broken from suppliers and offer a discount to customers. It’s irresponsible to push this onto the customer for almost full price, this issue should be handled with the supplier. Rest of the sale rack was over 50% off except this merch…buyer beware"
