Let me start by saying that I genuinely love Buck Mason as a brand. I’ve purchased from them online before and have always been happy with the quality, design, and overall experience. However, this review is solely about my experience at the Houston store.
I stopped by earlier today with a friend after lunch at a nearby restaurant. The store was clearly open—we could see a salesperson inside assisting a single customer. Despite this, the front door was locked. We assumed, perhaps, this was a special appointment or a high-value customer, given the number of items they seemed ready to purchase—but of course, that’s just speculation.
What was unacceptable is that the salesperson looked directly at us multiple times and made no effort to acknowledge us—no gesture to wait, no sign on the door, not even a simple explanation. We even tried the back door, thinking the front might be malfunctioning. Again, the salesperson looked right at us, then turned away without saying a word.
This kind of treatment is incredibly disappointing, especially from a brand that I’ve otherwise held in high regard. If the store was temporarily closed or if there was a private appointment, there should have been a clear sign or at least a brief explanation. Ignoring customers during open hours—especially when they’re visibly confused and trying both entrances—is simply unprofessional.
